Biography

He was born in Portland, Oregon[1] and died in San Francisco.

Kerrigan competed for the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland and won the Pacific Northwest high jump championships in 1894 and 1896.[1] In the 1906 Intercalated Games held in Athens, Greece, Kerrigan won the bronze medal jointly with Greek athlete Themistoklis Diakidis. Kerrigan had been favored to win, but was injured by a wave that hit the ship carrying the U.S. team to Athens.[2][3] The winning height of 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) was the lowest winning height in Olympic history.[2]
