The 2024 Olympics are over, and the ACC – well, pretty much, the newcomers Stanford and Cal, and UVA, one of the long-timers – will be bringing home a haul of gold, silver and bronze on the trip back from Paris.
Athletes and alums from ACC member schools won 98 medals, led by Stanford’s 39. Cal athletes won 18, and UVA athletes won 14.
I should have given a shoutout in my lede to Notre Dame, which was fourth with 11.
That’s 82 of your 98 right there.
The other 14 schools combined to have 16 other athletes and alums among the medal winners.
Not making the list: Virginia Tech, which didn’t have a medal winner this year.
The overall medal count includes multiples for members of teams – for instance, the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team, which won the gold medal with a thrilling 1-0 victory over Brazil on Saturday, had athletes from Florida State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Stanford and UVA among its members.
Another for-instance: on Sunday, seven student-athletes combined from Cal and Stanford helped the U.S. Men’s Water Polo Team claim the bronze medal with a shootout victory over Hungary.
Also on Sunday, the U.S. Women’s Basketball Team earned its eighth straight gold medal with a thrilling 67-66 victory over the host country, France. Team USA had four ACC representatives with North Dame’s Jewell Loyd and Jackie Young and Duke’s Chelsea Gray as players alongside Blue Devils’ head coach Kara Lawson, who served as an assistant coach.
