Record Five Golden Flashes to Compete at Tokyo Olympics

KENT, Ohio — Five Kent State graduates will compete at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics over the coming weeks, breaking the school's previous record of four Olympians at the Munich Games in 1972.

The quintet will represent four different countries with Reggie Jagers III being the first Golden Flash to don the Team USA uniform since Kim Kreiner in 2008.

The Canadian duo of Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes will be Kent State's first alumni in action. The men's golf competition consists of four rounds of 18 holes, beginning on Thursday, July 29 and concluding on Sunday, August 1.
