Olympics: Casey Patterson’s early exit headlines week one for BYU athletes

A week of the olympics in Rio is in the books. Casey Patterson, Taylor Sander, Tatenda Tsumba and Jared Ward all made the long trip south. Luckily for them, they didn’t have to dive into green water. Let’s give you an update.

Well, it didn’t go great for Casey and USA beach volleyball partner, Jake Gibb. The duo fell to Spain on Wednesday and ended the medal quest as they dropped their second straight match in pool play.

Casey Patterson is a BYU grad and Jake Gibb is a Utah grad. Perhaps the takeaway here is that ‘Holy War’ grads should never team up in anything.
