Trojans might have been burned down in Greek Mythology but this team
has made a different legend in sports. USC is one of the top teams in
NCAA.
History tells us that there are different groups of
people who wanted to dominate the world. Despite knowing that different
civilizations have already flourished in different lands, they engage
in battles and wars to gain control of the territory. Different empires
and dynasties ruled over the world in the conquest to expand
territories and to proclaim their kings the mightiest of all.
It
was not a friendly war or even a war with good cause. These wars lead
to the different rise and falls of each group. Yet, even though they
have their own vicissitudes, the accomplishments and failures are still
part of our history books.
In the field of sports, domination is
part of the game. Every team would want to be hailed as the best among
the best. For years, different games are held to see who will arise as
champions. Players prepare for months prior to the real game to make
sure that they have the endurance and the skills whomever they have to
face. In NCAA, one team of the best teams in their history is the
Southern California Trojans.
Their name is not one of the empires
or the dynasties, known to be the fiercest conquerors in the world. But
definitely, their name is just as great as it was established in the
Greek Mythology. There is no Helen for their cause of battle, but they
have happened to be excelling for years with many unprecedented win.
They have won over 88 NCAA championship titles, of which 76 titles
belong to their men team. This is such a remarkable record because they
have by far more wins than any other university could attain.
They
have gain domination in different sports. One of their best teams is
their football team. They have managed to outnumber their greatest
rivals in terms of titles for the National Championships. Their
baseball team has garnered 12 titles, bagging their latest win in 1998
under the supervision of Mike Gillespie.
Another field of sports
wherein they got the most wins is in the track and field. This is just
one of the best records in the history of NCAA as they won 26 titles.
There were four coaches noted for their win, and Dean Cromwell was one
of them. Their volleyball team is also one of the best.
Of
course, their team for women made a sound in NCAA but they never got as
much wins as their men team are. It just proves that Southern
California Trojans are great protectors of their name in the field of
sports. They are one of the best teams in NCAA and over America. Not
only they have conquered America but they also made it to the Olympics.
They are one of the top schools in the field of sports and academics.
Not many teams can level with their number of wins in NCAA and their
curriculum.
They are just like the people of Troy, who were known
for their riches and massive defensive walls. No wonder, they are able
to get successive wins for years because of their amazing talents to
defend their title.
