USA OLYMPIANS AND THEIR COLLEGES

This will be somewhat of a different post as it will deal only with USA Olympians. I don’t often do that, trying to always deal with the international set of Olympians but there are some reasons for this.

The post deals with USA Olympians and their college affiliations. This is somewhat unique to the USA that has a strong collegiate sports program, while most other nations focus on club sports.

Further, in some of the work I do with the US Olympic Committee (USOC) I am often asked which states have the most Olympians. That’s a difficult question to answer, trying to tell where somebody is “from.” I am a case in point – born in New Jersey, mostly raised in Massachusetts, lived most of my life in North Carolina, and now live in New Hampshire and South Carolina, I’ve lived in 10 states and 1 Canadian Province. Where the hell am I “from”?

So my default was to list athletes that had been born in a state, died in a state, and attended college in the state, which gave pretty good lists. Unfortunately our database of USA Olympians and their colleges was incomplete.

The reason for that is that we list the affiliations of athletes, but only those at the time of their Olympic participation. So if they attended Harvard, but later competed in the Olympics for the New York Athletic Club, Harvard would not be listed. So I felt like I had to do a fairly complex search to track down as many college affiliations as I could.

It is a Sisyphean task, and one that can never be completed. As I type this, somebody is enrolling in graduate school that I have “missed,” and the list will change yearly, and probably more frequently than that. But with the able assistance of Hilary Evans (@OlyStatman), we’ve come up with very complete lists of USA Olympians and the college affiliations, many of them attending multiple colleges.

As in my day job as a medical journal editor, I must list the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The database we compiled lists USA Olympians only, and only those in medal sports, not including demonstration sports. It does not include USA Olympians who were alternates or did not compete, and it does not include the USA competitors in the Arts Competitions from 1912-48. It also does not include Paralympians.

To be listed with a college affiliation, all we needed to know was if the athlete “attended” such a college – this list says nothing about graduation.

We excluded foreign athletes attending US colleges. Many of our US colleges have hosted foreign athletes who have later competed at the Olympics, but we are not including those, because of the original purpose of the database, as described above.

We excluded coaches, trainers, therapists, physicians, and other ancillary personnel who accompany the Olympic teams. As I attended the greatest university in the United States, and have three degrees from Duke (’73 BA, ’84 MD, ’90 Ortho), I would have liked to include Mike Krzyzewski, and other Duke coaches who have worked at the Olympics, to increase our “Olympian” count, but that is not the purpose of this project.

In summary, the database includes USA Olympians only, who competed in medal sports only, and who attended any known college, USA or otherwise, although the vast majority are US colleges. Many colleges have different lists, including foreign athletes, alternates, demo sport athletes, coaches and affiliate personnel, Paralympians, and others. We have no problems with any such lists, but the purpose of our project was to obtain a list of USA Olympic competitors and their college affiliations so we used the inclusion and exclusion criteria as above.

We have used multiple sources. First we used our Olympedia (www.olympedia.org) database, pulling any college affiliations for USA athletes. We also examined our text bios on the USA Olympians on Olympedia and pulled out the colleges mentioned. Then, we used a USOC database from 1990 that lists college affiliations. All USA Media Guides from 1956-2016 were fully examined. We also checked online lists of colleges and their Olympians. We then were fortunate enough to have contact with CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America), via Doug Vance, their Executive Director, and Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the College Football Playoff. Doug contacted his membership and many of them sent us lists of their Olympians. Thanx to Doug and Bill for their help with this project.

Finally, Hilary Evans (@OlyStatman) did what Hilary always does, and better than anybody, which is find things nobody else can. Hilary went thru the entire list and found many missing and obscure affiliations.

The entire database of USA Olympians and their colleges can be found in the attached Excel spreadsheet (USA Olympians Colleges), but let’s look a little at who the leading colleges are.

The most prominent finding is that California colleges have contributed huge numbers of Olympians to the @TeamUSA effort. In fact the four leading schools, in terms of number of athletes, are: 1) Stanford, 2), UCLA, 3), USC, and 4) Cal Berkeley. Here is the top 20 by # of athletes, games attended, and medals won (Games = # of games attended by their athletes):

[table]

Columbia University,80,117,59,20

[/table]

If we break this down by state, one of the original purposes of this search, this becomes even more dramatic. California has almost three times as many Olympians attending college there as the next US state, New York. Here are the top 10 states by # of Olympians:

[table]

Connecticut,205,262,81,153

[/table]

Pretty dominant for California, isn’t it? Of note, athletes from California colleges have almost as many gold medals and medals as the next 9 highest ranking US states.

What about if we look at Summer and Winter? Surely California colleges cannot have the most Winter Olympians, can they? No, they don’t, that honor going to the University of Minnesota. Here are the lists of the top 10 for Summer and Winter USA Olympians:

What about by gender? Are there any differences among the colleges USA men and women Olympians have attended? Not really big differences, but here are those top 10 lists:

It does get more interesting when we look at sports and years, as many colleges often have certain sports for which they are best known (did I mention Duke and basketball?). Here are the leading 2-3 colleges for each of the sports on the Olympic Program:

The above are not separated by gender and you can see the female influence in several sports, notably in basketball, where the University of Tennessee ranks highly, and football (soccer), where the University of North Carolina ranks first, both based primarily on their female players.

Certain schools appear frequently on the above lists, as you would expect. Notably, Stanford and UCLA are among the top 3 in 9 sports, while Dartmouth, Harvard, and the University of Colorado are listed in 6 sports.

And here is how the top colleges have changed over the years, looking only at the top USA colleges represented at each Games:

There you can see some trends. In the early years of US Olympic participation the Ivy League schools contributed the most Summer Olympians, while since 1924 it has always been a California school.

Finally, one thing is obvious about this analysis – there have been a lot of smart young men and women on @TeamUSA, but we went a bit further. What about graduate schools?

We have that information as well, broken down by type of graduate or professional school, so here we list the top schools by each type, but also the known number of USA Olympians for each type of graduate or professional school.

Impressive that these tremendous athletes, who spend so much time training and competing, have also excelled academically. As to the Rhodes Scholars, there have been 34 known Rhodes Scholars among all Olympians, with 9 of those coming from the United States. Here is that list:

[table]

So that’s it. Full details can be found in the spreadsheet that lists all USA Olympians and their academic affiliations, which is linked above. Let us know if you see any errors or additions. As we stated, the list can never be complete and almost by necessity, is certainly incomplete.

 

10 thoughts on “USA OLYMPIANS AND THEIR COLLEGES”

  1. This is remarkable research and it will benefit smart university people for generations to come! Thank you, Bill Mallon!

  2. I see an addition: Lee Talbott (1908, Cornell University) attended a second university after the Olympics, Penn State. (“LEE TALBOTT TO PENN STATE. Former Manual and K. C. A. C. Athlete Couldn’t Enter Cornell This Year”. Kansas City Star. 11 November 1909. p. 8.)

  3. Harold Van Buskirk is shown in the spreadsheet as having attended both Penn State and University of Pennsylvania. The Penn affiliation is obvious(http://www.archives.upenn.edu/histy/features/sports/olympics/athletes.html), but I find nothing on the Penn State connection. Penn has unfortunately been mistakenly referred to as Penn State many times. I’m wondering if this sort of thing happened in a source document. Or did Van Buskirk drop by PSU for a cup of coffee on his way to Penn?

  4. I found a couple things that did not make it into the spreadsheet:
    (1) Kathy Corrigan (1964, GYM) earned an M.Ed. degree from Penn State in 1968 (see http://kathycorrigans.com/about-kathy/).
    (2) William Cox (1924, ATH, bronze – 3000m team) attended Penn State. (University of Rochester is not mentioned in a brief Wikipedia bio.)

  5. Similar to Harold Van Buskirk, I have not found a connection to Penn State for Charles Hewes Moore, Jr., other than his father and son (both also named Charles Hewes Moore), who were PSU alumni. Charles H. Moore, Sr. was an alternate at the 1924 Summer Games. But Moore, Jr. has had a lifelong love of Cornell, as he explains in his 2017 self-published autobiography, “Running on Purpose.” Its only mention of possibly attending Penn State is that he declined their offer of admission in favor of Cornell, where he later served as Athletic Director for five years. I know that Penn State has many two-year branch campuses around the state, where Moore, Jr. resides. If the connection is that he perhaps took a course or two at the local branch campus, that would be a truly impressive discovery. Last, I did find one Charles H. Moore, Jr. listed as a supporter of the PSU Athletics Dept. “2014 Alumni Challenge” under basketball (http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/psu/sports/c-varsitys/auto_pdf/2013-14/misc_non_event/varsity-s-mens-thank-u.pdf), which by itself is not useful.

    1. I emailed Charles Moore, Jr. at an email address in his book and asked him. His reply:
      “No, I never attended Penn State although, because of family ties, have been an enthusiastic supporter. I don’t recall making a gift to their basketball program in 2014. I hope this helps.

  6. Thanks for compiling. It’s very interesting. Just one correction, it is Dartmouth College, not University. There was a landmark Supreme Court case over the issue, Dartmouth College v. Woodward, and we are very proud of our college.

    Is it similar to U Mich Ann Arbor or U Tex Austin?
    Or U NorCar Chapel Hill or U Wash Seattle?
