Lester Nelson "Les" Carney (born March 31, 1934) is a retired American sprinter who won a silver medal in the 200 m at the 1960 Summer Olympics, ahead of two team members who beat him at the Olympic trials. He won another silver in this event at the 1959 Pan American Games.[1]
Carney also played American football at Ohio University. He was drafted by the Baltimore Colts in 1958 but never played professionally. After retiring from sports he worked as a buyer of sporting goods for the M. O'Neil Co. department store chain in Akron, Ohio.[1]
On October 2, 2015, Indian Creek High School (formally known as Wintersville High School) named its new track and field after the Olympic silver medalist. The field is now the Lester Carney Track at Kettlewell Stadium.
