(Apr. 2, 1901 – Mar. 30, 1981) Louis Kuehn won the gold medal as part of a sweep of the springboard diving event at the 1920 Antwerp, Belgium, Summer Olympic Games.

Born in 1900, Kuehn developed his skills under coach Jack Cody at the Multnomah Athletic Club and was a two-time state diving champion before winning the national championship in 1919. The following year, “Happy” was part of a trio of American men and women who won gold in Olympic diving, a first for the U.S. in the platform and springboard disciplines.

Following the Olympics, Kuehn was a member of the Oregon State University swimming and diving team and assisted in coaching both teams as well.

During World War II, Kuehn served as a swimming instructor for the Navy.

Kuehn was inducted to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class in 1980.
