We Are … SC!

London 2012 was the most successful Olympics for the University of Southern California.

The final Olympics medal tally is in, and if the University of Southern California were a country, we would finish #11 in the medal count, right after South Korea and Italy, who finished in a tie for 10th place, and ahead of the Ukraine.

USC athletes (incoming students, current students, and alumni) won 25 medals (12 Gold, 9 Silver and 4 Bronze). South Korea and Italy each won 28, the Ukraine won 20.

This makes 100 years of Gold-winning performances by USC athletes, who have won at least one Gold medal since the 1912 Games in Stockholm, Sweden.

Now, we USC Trojans are holding our breath. London Olympics breakout star Missy Franklin has listed USC as one of the schools she plans to visit as she makes up her mind where she’s going to college.

Cal Berkeley, Georgia and Texas are also in the mix.

Hey Missy! Fight on for USC!
