Visi has the most. Do I gotta count them for you?🙄[/quote]
Snarky rivalry aside, I’d actually be interested. I love it when local school/place names get mentioned at the Olympics. I grew up in Oakton and was so excited when the announcer mentioned that one of the U.S. divers was from Oakton last night - just before they absolutely flubbed the dive and dropped to last place. 😬😂 Which Olympians are Visi grads?[/quote]

If there are any, VISI is not promoting it in any way on their social media. Gonzaga had an alum receive a bronze medal for rowing and that's all over their social media, [b]and SR has also posted about Paris as well.[/b] A lot of local media have been publishing articles about the athletes in Paris, but I haven't heard of any from VISI.

SR parent here. Honestly, SR is going a bit over the top with the constant posting on Instagram and FB. This is a school with a lot more dimension to this institution beyond athletics and celebrating olympians. It would be nice if they balanced that out even just a tiny bit. This year they have declared that the focus would be on Goal #1, "a personal and active faith in God." Let's hope they deliver on that. Celebrating athletes is wonderful, but there is more than that to celebrate.[/quote]
