University of Maine Athletics

Harold Bailey was a three-year letterwinner in track and set the University of Maine hammer throw record eight times. He won New England and IC4A Championships when IC4A was considered the National Championship. He held the hammer throw record at Maine of 176 feet, 7 1/2 inches for over 20 years. The mark withstood the efforts of Olympians and Sports Hall of Famers Rip Black and Don Favor. Bailey also set the discus record and was selected pro forma to the 1916 Olympic team.
