Greater New York Irish Athletic Association, Queens

  1. (55395) John Flanagan (USA/ATH-TOW/1900-04,08)
  2. (48396) Martin Sheridan (USA/ATH/1904-08)
  3. (38824) Meyer Prinstein (USA/ATH/1900-06)
  4. (12740) Lawson Robertson (USA/ATH/1904-08)
  5. (10541) George Bonhag (USA/ATH/1904-12)
  6. (8550) Charles Bacon (USA/ATH/1904-08)
  7. (4731) Frank Castleman (USA/ATH/1904)
  8. (2059) Harvey Cohn (USA/ATH/1904-08)
  9. (1800) Jack Holloway (IRL/ATH/1904)
  10. (1125) Claude Allen (USA/ATH/1904)
  11. (112.0) Johnny Joyce (USA/ATH/1904)
John Flanagan is listed as belonging to both the NYAC and the Irish-American AC, but he is listed in the Spalding Report as belonging to the IAAC. Born in Ireland, he may still have been an Irishman (British national) in 1904 but I list him as American because he also competed (for the US) in 1908, when national teams were already the norm. Meyer Prinstein is also listed as a member of Syracuee Orange, but that was for his Olympic appearance of 1900. Claude Allen also was a member of Syracuse.
Frank Castleman was also a member of the Colgate Raiders of Hamilton, NY.
Jack Holloway only emigrated in 1904, so he must have been a British citizen at the time. Born in Ireland, I count him as Irish.
