Biography
Olympics’
John Kelly Jr. never quite
enjoyed the great Olympic success of his father, Jack, Sr., but surely one of
his most satisfying victories had to be in 1947 when he won the Diamond Sculls
at the Henley Regatta, finally bringing that title to the Kelly family. It was
one of only many championships that he won, and included eight U.S. National
single sculls titles, six Canadian single sculls championships, and two gold
medals at the Pan American Games - single sculls in 1955 and double sculls in
1959 with Bill Knecht. Kelly, Jr. won the Diamond Sculls again in 1949, and was
world singles champion in that year. At the Olympics, John, Jr. was not quite
able to grab the gold ring, but at the 1956 Olympics, though probably a bit
past his peak as a single sculler, he put on an outstanding performance to take
the bronze behind Russia's Vyacheslav Ivanov, and Australia's Stuart Mackenzie.
John Kelly, Jr. was very active in sports administration, especially in rowing.
He served as a president of the AAU, president of the USOC, and president of
the International Swimming Hall of Fame. His business was as chairman of the
board of John B. Kelly, Inc., a masonry contracting company.
