Howard Drew

Howard Drew (Howard Porter Drew; June 28, 1890 – February 19, 1957) was an American track and field athlete who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.

He was born in Lexington, Virginia.

In 1912 he qualified for the final of the 100 metres event. But he was unable to compete in the final as he had strained a muscle at the finish of his semi-final heat.

He also competed in the exhibition baseball tournament at the 1912 Olympics.
