Jackson Scholz was a member of the US track team in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. His first appearance in the games was in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. He was part of the American team that won the 4 × 100 meter relay. In 1924 he won the gold medal in the 200-meter sprint and bronze in the 100-meter race. He did not win a medal in 1928 in Amsterdam. Scholz later became a writer.
Brad Davis played Scholz in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. Scholz lived to see the movie and did an American Express commercial with Ben Cross, who played Harold Abrahams, the man who beat him in the 100-meter in 1924.
