Alexander Grant (athlete)

Alexander Grant (April 16, 1875 – October 13, 1946) was a Canadian/American track and field athlete who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

[1] Grant born in St. Marys, Ontario, Canada, finished third in the British 1 mile 1900 AAA Championships.

He placed sixth or seventh in his first-round (semifinals) heat and did not advance to the final.

After Grant's death, Camp Tecumseh became a not-for-profit organization run by a board of trustees.

The camp continues to be very successful, adhering to Grant's vision of "making good boys better."
