Ellery Harding Clark (March 13, 1874 - February 17, 1949) was an American athlete. He was the first modern Olympic champion in high jump and long jump. Born in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, Clark is the only person to have won both the Olympic high jump and long jump. Clark achieved it in 1896, at the first modern Olympics in Athens. A Harvard student, he was given a leave of absence to compete because of his high grades - in contrast to another gold medal winner from Harvard, James Connolly. Clark was one of the top all-around athletes from 1893 to 1912.
