Des Koch
Desmond Dalworth Koch (May 10, 1932 – January 26, 1991) was an American track and field athlete and football player who won a bronze medal in the discus throw at the 1956 Summer Olympics.

Besides athletics Koch was known for his football skills. He played as an amateur and tried out with the Green Bay Packers (who drafted him in the 1954 NFL draft) and San Diego Chargers, but never played as a professional. Koch married Mitzi Whitefeather, a Native American. After retiring from sport he worked at a plastics manufacturing plant, eventually becoming its executive.
