Samuel Glenn "Tiny" Hartranft (December 3, 1901 – August 12, 1970) was an American athlete.[3] He competed in the shot put and discus throw at the 1924 Summer Olympics and won a silver medal in the shot put, placing sixth in the discus. He won the IC4A championships in both events in 1922 and 1924. In 1924 he set a world record in the discus, which was not ratified because of high wind. He set an official world record next year at 47.89 m.[1]
Hartranft was head football coach at San Jose State University in 1942 and the school's head baseball coach from 1944 to 1945.
