William Moloney
William Arthur Moloney (July 10, 1876 – March 12, 1915) was an American track and field athlete who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.[1]
Moloney competed in the 400 metres. He finished tied for fourth overall in the event. He had won his first-round semifinal heat with a time of 51.0 seconds, but was one of three Americans who refused to take part in the final because it was held on a Sunday.
He died from heart disease in Chicago on March 12, 1915.[2]
