Santa Clara Athletics Hall of Fame
Tuck Bedolla was involved in every aspect of SCU student life; he was Student Body President, captain of the baseball team, an incredible football player, track star, and contributor to the Redwood. Outside of athletics, Bedolla was a member of the orchestra and was involved in Dramatics. His long list of accomplishments did not stop there. After graduation, Bedolla went on to win a gold medal in the pentathlon at the Olympic trials. He served in the Navy during WWII, and received a Law degree from Santa Clara in ’26. His success trickled down to later generations as “Tuck” is the first of many athletic Bedollas at Santa Clara: Charles Bedolla ’50 (baseball), Kevin Bedolla ’73, J.D. ’76 (golf), and Kimberly Bedolla ’10 (golf).
