Arthur Wood Tuck (July 8, 1901 – April 15, 1979) was an American track and field athlete.
He later competed for the University of Oregon track and field team and represented the United States in the 1920 Summer Olympics in Belgium.
As a result, Redmond High School won the state track and field championship with only one athlete competing.
[2][5][6][7] During the state championship meet, Tuck ran in 13 races including preliminary heats to qualify for finals as well as participating in five field events.
[5][8][9][10] After graduating from high school in the summer of 1919, Tuck participated in track and field competitions representing the Multnomah Athletic Club, based in Portland, Oregon.
[2][7] On November 7, 1937, Sergeant Tuck and Officer Elmer R. Pyle were dispatched to investigate a possible murder on an isolated chicken ranch near Terrebonne.
[25][26] After Tuck retired from the police force, his track and field medals and memorabilia were stolen in a burglary.
[3] It is likely that Tuck is the only athlete in Oregon history to have won a state track and field team championship singlehandedly.
Today, Tuck's scrapbook and photographs are held by the Des Chutes Historical Museum in Bend, Oregon.
