๐ STOCK UP
๐ผ Day Six Recap. The Women of Tory were widely victorious on the sixth day of competition in Paris, with two wins in women's beach volleyball, four wins in women's water polo and two in women's soccer.
๐๏ธ Two-time Olympian Kelly Cheng and first-time Olympian Sara Hughes picked up their second win in Paris with a 21-16, 23-21 win over their opponents from France.
๐คฝ Former Trojans Tilly Kearns, Hayley McKelvey, Verica Bakoc, Emily Ausmus, Kaleigh Gilchrist, and Anni Espar each picked up wins for their respective countries in womenโs water polo.
โฝ๏ธ Croix Bethune made her Olympic debut, checking in for Team USA in the 80th minute during the United States' third win in group play. The USA now advances to the quarterfinals.
๐ผ Best and Brightest. The 2023-24 USC men's golf team earned an All-Academic distinction by the Golf Coaches Association of America. The honor was presented to programs with a team cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Four golfers from the 2023-24 squad return to compete for the Trojans this upcoming season: seniors Gavin Aurilia and Jackson Rivera, junior Antonio Safa and sophomore Nicolas Dominguez.
๐ผ Fresh Cut Turf. As the Trojan Family counts down the days until fall camp begins, USC football can rest assured that they will be practicing on the freshest turf in the west. The brand new field is the first major install of the larger development which will include a brand new soccer stadium and additional practice facilities.
๐ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF
31 days until kickoff, Trojan Family!
Throughout the history of USC football, the Trojans have had 531 players drafted to the NFL โ the second-most of any university in the U.S. โ including seven from this past seasonโs squad. 86 of those former Trojans were selected in the first round with the most recent being none other than Heisman trophy winner, Caleb Williams.
