Biografia

Leslie Byrd succeeded in beating the world record holder James Duncan in the 1912 Olympic discus, but was outclassed by Armas Taipale of Finland, who had a winning margin of almost ten feet. Captain R. L. Byrd, U.S. Marine Corps, won the discus at the Inter-Allied Games held at the Pershing Stadium, Paris, in 1919. Later in the year he finished second in the AAU.

Byrd also competed in the 1912 Olympic Baseball demonstration event.

Personal Bests: DT – 43.84 (1919); JT – 129-10 (39.57) (1912).
