Biography
Henricus Josephus “Henri” Cockuyt was a Belgian track and field athlete who represented KAA Gent. In 1924 Cockuyt did the double at the Belgian championships, winning gold in the 100 and 200 metres. The same year he was part of the quartet that set a national record in the 4 x 100 metres, which stood until 1932. His performances in the three events earned him a place at the 1924 Paris Olympics, but he only ran in the 100 metres, where he was eliminated in the heats. Cockuyt won his third and final Belgian title in 1927 with victory in the 200 metres.
Personal Best: 100 – 10.8 (1923).
