983... and counting The newest USC AAs: Aaron Dan (discus), Brandon Estrada (pole vault), Trey Henderson (hammer), Joey Hughes (400m; 4x400), Oscar Spurlock (110m HH), Manjula Wijesekara (high jump), Reggie Wyatt (400m IH; 4x400), Bryshon Nellum (4x400); Nate Anderson (4x400).
As for USC and its AAs, I started this whole process not knowing that the criteria hadn't always been static so my AAs are athletes who scored at the National Championship meet. Eventhough that wasn't the criteria in the old days, it's the criteria that I'm staying with because it doesn't exclude any past athlete and it's consistently fair. (that, and to attempt a re-do would send me to the funny farm).
The criteria used in determining USC AA's is stated below.*
The outdoor lists covers all our known All-Americans since 1923, the indoor since 1965.
