Tennessee Volunteers Boast Record Breaking Number of Competitors for Summer Olympics

The Tennessee Volunteers are sending a record breaking number of competitors to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

The Tennessee Volunteers are sending a record-breaking number of competitors to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

The Tennessee Volunteers had a very successful calendar year across all sports this past year. The football team made the Citrus Bowl, the men's basketball team made a deep run in the March Madness tournament, the women's basketball team made it to the second round of the tournament, the baseball team won the national title and the softball team made it to the super regionals. A very well rounded athletics program and now it's showing up on perhaps the biggest stage in the sporting world.

The Summer Olympics start on July 26th and the Volunteers are sending a record breaking number of competitors to the worldwide event. Tennessee announced that a total of 31 current, past and future Volunteers will be on site for the Olympics this year. That is a school record, the sixth most in the country and the second most in the SEC.

A school-record 31 Vols and Lady Vols — past, present and future — will compete on behalf of 18 countries at #Paris2024

That figure is 6th nationally and second in the SEC.
