Allen Woodring (February 15, 1898 – November 15, 1982) was an American sprint runner.[3] At the 1920 United States Olympic trials, he failed to qualify in the 200 meters yet was selected for the national team and won the Olympic gold medal in this event.[1]
Woodring ran for Mercersburg Academy under Jimmy Curran, before competing for the Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia.[4] He graduated from Syracuse University and later worked as a salesman for the Spalding Company.[1]
After his athletics career ended he worked as a salesman for Sears, Roebuck & Co. In his later years he moved to Florida.[5]
