James Hatton

James Hatton also referred to as Jack Hatton (born 1897, date of death unknown) was a British long-distance runner who competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Career At the 1920 Olympic Games, he finished fifth in the 10,000 m final and tenth in the 3,000 m race, in which Great Britain won the silver team medal. Hatton did not receive a medal because only three best runners from a team were counted; Hatton was fourth. Hatton was the Northern Counties champion over 10 miles in 1920 and 4 miles in 1921; the same year, he won the 3 miles at the Kinnaird international meeting and the 4 miles at the Triangular International.
