Biography

Shortly after setting a world record of 48 feet 2 inches with the 16 pound shot at Queenstown,^{[citation needed]} in County Cork, Ireland in 1897, Horgan visited the U.S., and in 1900, he joined the Greater New York Irish Athletic Association, the predecessor of the Irish American Athletic Club for a brief period.^[2] In 1905, he joined the rival New York Athletic Club.^{[citation needed]}

In 1906, Horgan set the world's record for the 28 pound shot, with a distance of 35 feet, 4.5 inches at the Ancient Order of Hibernians games held at Celtic Park in Queens, New York.^[3]

He competed for Great Britain in the 1908 Summer Olympics he London in the shot put, where he won the silver medal.^[1]

Horgan won 13 British AAA Championships titles from 1893 to 1912.^[4] The win at the 1893 AAA Championships was the first of seven consecutive shot put titles.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Horgan won a total 42 shot put titles during his athletic career, including 28 Irish championships,^{[citation needed]} and one American championship.^{[citation needed]} Horgan was "usually so superior to his fellow competitors that he seldom trained in any sort of systematic way, yet he showed a marked consistency of performance, in all conditions, over a period of twenty years."^[8]

He emigrated to America, where he worked as a police officer.^{[citation needed]} Whilst attempting to rescue a fellow Irishman, he was severely stabbed and left for dead.^{[citation needed]} After he recovered, he returned to Ireland, married, and settled in Crookstown.^[9]
