Biography

Milton Wallace first made the Canadian athletics lists in 1935, when he was top ranked in the five miles. The following year he was number one in the five kilometres and won that event at the national championships, in addition to being selected to represent his country at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. There, he was eliminated in the heats of the 5000 metres and did not complete the 10,000 metres. The following year he was at the top of the Canadian lists in both the two and five miles and set a Canadian record in the ten miles. After topping the Canadian lists for the three miles in 1938, he was selected for the British Empire Games, where he was 7th in the six miles and did not finish in the three miles. After finishing first in the three miles again in 1940, he retired from active competition.
