Jesse Bernard "Cab" Renick (September 29, 1917 – November 25, 1999) was an American basketball player who competed in the 1948 Summer Olympics.[1] Renick was A 6'2" Guard for Marietta High School in Marietta, Oklahoma. He went on to star at Oklahoma A&M University (now Oklahoma State). He was All-Missouri Valley Conference in 1939 and 1940 as well as an All-American in 1939 and 1940.
OSU's first two-time All-American selection, he played on the United States gold medal Olympic team alongside fellow Oklahoma A&M great Bob Kurland. He led the Cowboys to 45–11 record in his two seasons.
Renick, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, was also the second Native American, after Jim Thorpe, to win an Olympic gold medal.
