Team USA Athletes at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing
To be a full-time collegiate athlete and Olympian is no easy feat. Yet hundreds of students choose to represent Team USA ever year. From Track and Field to Ice Hockey, Team USA has over 400 athletes from 97 different schools currently competing in 18 sports.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics was home to 59 current student-athletes. 18 of those athletes are currently competing on the NCAA swimming circuit. The Team USA swim team is home to 48 collegiate current or former collegiate athletes from 21 different schools, making up 91% of the team. 11 of 11 divers are current or former student-athletes, with 45% of them representing The Big Ten Conference. The USA Swimming & Diving team isn’t the only Olympic team with significant conference representation. 30% of the women’s soccer team competed in the ACC conference, 48% of U.S rowers competed in The Ivy League and one-third of U.S fencers competed at Notre Dame.
95% of our 128 strong track and field team competed collegiately. 70% of the Big 12 had one or more athlete on the team. The SEC also had alum from every school on the 2020 Track and Field roster.
Earning a spot on Team USATF is no small feat, but doing it in a college uniform it’s something special. Here’s to the student-athletes who never cease to inspire 🤩
