Lloyd Hahn (August 7, 1898 January 1983) was an American runner who competed at the 1924 and 1928 Olympics.[1] In 1924 he finished sixth in the 1500 m. He failed to reach the final in this event in 1928, but finished fifth in the 800 m event. Earlier in 1928 Hahn won the 800 m race at the US Olympic trials, which were combined with AAU Championships that year, setting a new world record at 1:51.4, but the record was not ratified by the IAAF. In 1926 Hahn was part of the US 4×880 yd relay team that broke the world record. Hahn won AAU titles in the mile in 1926 and in the 1,000 yd in 1925 and 1927.
