Jackson Volney Scholz was an American sprint runner. In the 1920s, he became the first person to appear in an Olympic sprint final in three different Olympic Games. After his athletic career, he also gained fame as a writer. Born to Susan and Zachary Scholz in Buchanan, Michigan, Jackson Scholz, nicknamed “The New York Thunderbolt”, competed for the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, and later the New York Athletic Club. While quite successful in the Olympics, he managed to win only a single national title, the 220 yards AAU title in 1925. His first Olympic appearance was in Antwerp in 1920, where he won a gold medal with the American 4 × 100 m relay team. Individually he placed fourth in the 100 m. Later that year, Scholz equaled the World Record in the 100 m, running 10.6 s in Stockholm. Four years later, he was one of the favorites for the sprint titles in the 100 and 200 m. He lived up to the expectations in the 200 m, but was beaten to the gold in the 100 m by Britain’s Harold Abrahams. The 100 m race, and the 400 m race won by Eric Liddell, are depicted in the movie Chariots of Fire, which was released in 1981 – five years before Scholz’s death at the age of 89. He was played in the film by actor Brad Davis.
