That's just for summer games, right? I have to expect we have a few more in the winter games. Didn't Jeremy Bloom win a medal in SLC?

I thought so too but the link lists both Winter and Summer games. He's a 3 time world champion and he won 11 World Cup medals in FIS freestyle skiing but none in the two Olympics in which he particpated from what I can see...

Interestingly enough, I had some time to kill today and looked up the medal winning history (not necessarily their first Olympics) for the PAC schools:

USC has 258 medal winners since the 1912 Stockholm Games (unknown if all were student athletes).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USC_Trojans

UCLA lists 230 medal winners since the 1936 Berlin Games (but as far as I can tell, coaches/future coaches are mixed in :fragez:).
http://www.uclabruins.com/sports/olympics/spec-rel/all-time-olympians.html

Standford has 223 medal winners since the 1912 Stockholm Games (all appear to be student athletes).
http://www.gostanford.com/sports/olympics/alltime.html

Cal has 159 medal winners since the 1920 Antwerp Games (all appear to be student athletes).
http://www.calbears.com/sports/olympics/spec-rel/medal-winners.html

Arizona has 65 medal winners since the 1952 Helsinki Games (all appear to be student athletes).
http://www.arizonawildcats.com/trads/ariz-olympians.html

Arizona State has 57 medal winners since the 1952 Helsinki Games (all appear to be student athletes).
http://www.thesundevils.com/sports/olympics/spec-rel/asu-trads-olympians-medals.html

Oregon State has 18 medal winners since the 1908 London Games (all appear to be student athletes)
http://www.osubeavers.com/ot/olympians.html

Colorado has 11 medal winners since the 1952 Helsinki Games (all appear to be student athletes)
http://www.cualum.org/olympians/

Can't find anything else solid enough on the rest of the PAC's Olympic history to post here. UW and Oregon are especially annoying to search.

Here is a better list for USC

I also couldn't find anything for Washington and Oregon

Mary Decker Slaney did not win any medals, but I will never forget the evening my guy and I were running at the Fairview track and here came Mary and her training crew. They put us to shame so quickly that we stopped running and just watched in total awe.
 
OP updated.

Can't wait! Just to let you know Skiddy, this is the most viewed Olympic thread (1,832 views) on any of the PAC boards. As far as I can tell, it is the only complete listing.

You should post this link on boards for the rest of the PAC before the games start. It would be welcomed:

"I've been looking for so long for a comparison type list like this among the pac 12!"

"I lived in Boulder for ten years and Mark Wetmore is the best distance coach in the country, college or otherwise. I was a Cal walk-on in the 1980s and improved more in 14 weeks in Colorado with Wetmore working with our group (he had an open group) than I did in eight years out here."

Interesting stat, out of the 529 athletes competing 119 are from the Pac-12 which is almost 25%

Seems crazy we don't draw a greater number of athletes considering the olympic training center is just a couple hours down south and the altitude would seem to be a great draw. Is this something ot develop?

Absolutely. We need to increase our revenues so that we can become a T&F power beyond distance events. First step, though, is getting a new facility for indoor.
