Tech’s prestigious Olympic history has been the subject of a great deal of yellow jacket pride since the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. Every day students have the opportunity to work out where some of the world’s greatest athletes made history. Most students know Tech’s Olympic history to be closely tied to swimming and diving, as McAuley Aquatic Center was an Olympic competition venue and was used to host the sendoff celebration for the 2016 U.S. Olympic diving team.
Men’s Golf is returning to the Olympic Games after 112 years, and Tech alum, Matt Kuchar is grateful for the chance to bring home a historic gold.
