Since 1904, 340 Trojan athletes have competed in the Games, taking home 104 gold medals (with at least one gold in every summer Olympics since 1912), 59 silver and 54 bronze. u Three Trojans have won the prestigious Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in America: diver Sammy Lee (1953), shot putter Parry O Brien (1959) and swimmer John Naber (1977). u Two Women of Troy athletes have won the Honda- Broderick Cup as the top collegiate woman athlete of the year: Cheryl Miller (1983-84) and Angela Williams (2001-02). u USC athletes have appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated a total of 92 times.
