Christenson, 23, began his Team USA career while he was still running the show at USC as the nation's best setter. Now, he is a mainstay in the side, headed to his first Olympics.
He is at the core of a young roster ready to represent in Rio. "I think we just approach the match being aggressive with as much energy and fire as possible," said Christenson. "We know that whatever lineup we put out there we're always going to compete."
A 2014 and 2015 All-American first teamer at USC, Christenson set the U.S. to the 2015 FIVB World Cup gold medal as well as the 2014 FIVB World League gold medal and a bronze in 2015. The USA Men's Volleyball Team will have podium aspirations as a Top 5 ranked squad in the world coming into the competition.
