La Moine Batson

Lemoine Batson began competing in ski jumping as early as 1917. After competing in the 1924 Winter Olympics, he was later selected for the 1932 USA Olympic team as a ski jumper, but did not compete. His best jump was one of 183 feet in Westby, Wisconsin in 1925, equaling the hill record. He later became a sports administrator, and was the first chairman of the Central US Ski Association, serving as its president in 1939-40.
