Biography
Harlan Holden competed for Bates College and the Boston AA. His placement on the 1912 Olympic Team is a mystery as he did not place in any of the three regional Olympic Trials, and never placed at the IC4As or AAUs. At the 1912 Olympics, he also competed in the baseball demonstration event.
Holden became a career military man, serving in both World Wars as a colonel in the US Army Air Force. Holden’s son, Harlan, Jr., later attended the US Military Academy and served as a lieutenant in World War II, only to die in a training crash in Texas.
Personal Best: 800 – 1:58.1 (1912).
