Name: Hannah Buckling
Country: Australia
Event: Women's Water Polo
USC boasts a dominant women's water polo program, including the 2016 undefeated national champions, so it's no surprise that the Women of Troy litter the Olympic rosters, including Australian standout Hannah Buckling.
In her single season served at USC, Buckling certainly made her mark. She was instrumental in the Trojans' run to the 2013 NCAA Championship, earning status as the 2013 MPSF Tournament MVP and going on to garner All-American honors after punching up 40 goals for the Women of Troy that season.
Upon her return to Australia, Buckling rejoined her National Team and has stood out as a driving force for the Aussies' success. Buckling provided five goals for Australia in its fourth-place finish at the 2010 FINA World Championships, following up the silver medal that she won in the 2013 event. Buckling was the 2012 Australian Junior Female Water Polo Player of the Year, and has stayed on that powerful path in her time with the Stingers.
Australia most recently captured bronze at the 2016 FINA Super Final, led by two goals from Buckling for the Aussies in the bronze-medal match.
