Herbert Henry Mckenley

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Athlete, Coach, Administrator, Manager, Politician; remains until today the only person to reach the finals for the Olympic 100m, 200m and 400m. The only man to win medals in all three sprints in the same major games, the 1951 Pan American Games. He is also the first man to run the quarter mile under 46 seconds, and then under 45. 

Today we celebrate the birth of Jamaican Olympian Herbert Henry Mckenley.
