EASTON, Pa.– The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee announced its official roster for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team, and former Lafayette College student-athlete Amanda Magadan (Golini) '17 is one of 592 athletes who will represent Team USA this summer in Paris.
 
Golini played four years in the midfield for the Maroon and White from 2013-17, earning All-Patriot League honors each of her final three seasons, including first-team laurels as a junior and senior.

A native of Randolph, N.J., she led the Leopards in scoring in 2015 and 2016 with 10 and eight goals, respectively, leading to First-Team All-Region accolades in both seasons and a Third-Team All-America honor in 2016.

Golini has collected over 150 caps during her national team tenue and will serve as a team captain for USA Field Hockey when the 2024 Olympic journey begins on Saturday, July 27 against Argentina at 1:45 p.m.

The American collegiate athletics system plays a vital role in Team USA's success on the Olympic stage. This summer in Paris, 75% of U.S. Olympians will have competed collegiately as part of their journey to Team USA. In total, 169 schools from 45 different conferences will have one or more U.S. Olympians competing in Paris.

Twenty-one teams have at least 80% collegiate participation on their U.S. Olympic rosters, including 15 teams that are comprised 100% of collegiate athletes: women's basketball, men's and women's 3x3 basketball, beach volleyball, men's and women's indoor volleyball, diving, fencing, women's field hockey, women's rugby, modern pentathlon, men's and women's water polo, rowing and triathlon. College athlete representation on the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team spans all three NCAA Divisions (I, II and III), as well as junior colleges, NAIA schools and collegiate club programs.  
 
"We are incredibly grateful for the collegiate athletics administrators, coaches and support staff who inspire greatness in the student-athletes who will represent Team USA in Paris this summer," said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland. "With more than 440 current and former college athletes on the U.S. Olympic Team, we know they are competing not only for themselves and our country, but also proudly for their schools and school communities."

All collegiate data of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team was collected by the USOPC collegiate partnerships department. Team USA's collegiate footprint is defined by athletes who have or will represent their college in competition. This includes athletes who have finished their collegiate careers, those currently competing and incomers who have signed National Letters of Intent. While the vast majority of athletes will have competed in NCAA intercollegiate athletics, athletes who competed in non-NCAA varsity programs, junior college programs and club sports are also included in the USOPC's collegiate data collection.
