🔼 Welcome Back. There’s a familiar face returning to USC—the Trojans just hired Kelly Dormandy as Director of Women’s Basketball Sports Performance. She was at USC from 2012-2018 where she worked with women’s basketball, soccer, and beach volleyball.

During that time, those teams won a Pac-12 women’s basketball championship, an NCAA soccer title, and two beach volleyball crowns. She was also with the LA Sparks when they won the 2016 WNBA Championship.

🔼  Meet The Trojans. House of Victory is hosting the Big Man Luncheon at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach on Friday, July 14. This is your chance to meet current and former USC offensive and defensive linemen. (Just don’t take up too much time in the line…)

⚔️ ONE BIG THING

The Trojans signed track & field transfer Nathan Cumberbatch and his CV is about as impressive as you’ll find—he’s the fastest 800m runner in Wisconsin history and he just took first in the 2023 Brooks PRI with a 1:48.20 800m time—which is also fastest in the country.
