William Procter Remington (March 13, 1879, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – December 19, 1963) was an American track and field athlete]] who competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.〔(William Remington ). Sports Reference. Retrieved on 2014-05-09.〕 Remington placed fourth in the long jump. His best jump in the qualifier was 6.725 metres, good for fourth place going into the final. He bettered this by 10 centimetres in the final, but remained in fourth place. Remington also competed in the 110 metre hurdles. He placed second in his first-round heat and second in his repechage heat, not qualifying for the final. He also placed fourth in his semifinal heat of the 200 metre hurdles and did not qualify for the final in that event either. Remington later studied for the priesthood in the Episcopal Church, graduating from Virginia Theological Seminary in 1905. He served as the rector of St. Paul's Church in Minneapolis before being elected suffragan bishop of South Dakota in 1913. He was appointed as missionary bishop of Eastern Oregon in 1922, and later elected as suffragan bishop of Pennsylvania in 1945. He retired in 1951 and died in 1963.〔(New York Times obituary, December 21, 1963 )〕 ==References== * De Wael, Herman. ''Herman's Full Olympians'': "Athletics 1900". Accessed 18 March 2006.
