Carolina Olympians

University of North Carolina

USA

15 cards

These Carolina Olympians illustrate the University’s association with the modern Olympics that dates to the 1896 revival of the Games. To celebrate that long connection, University Communications designed trading cards featuring 15 Tar Heel Olympians. You will see some familiar faces and may discover hidden gems in Carolina’s Olympic history. Some were pioneers, some won gold medals and some represented the USA after outstanding collegiate careers. Others took different paths to Olympic glory though it’s not an exhaustive look at Carolina Olympians. I can't actually find these for sale anywhere.
