Beauchamp Day was an Irish sprinter who was Ireland's championship runner in the early 1910s.[1][2][3] He regularly competed at the Australian gold fields of Kalgoorlie, his 1906 defeat there at the hands of Arthur Postle being an event of some notoriety.[2] On April 1, 1907 he recorded a then-world record time for the 400 metre sprint.
