In Pictures, America's Top 5 Olympic Schools

No. 1 Stanford University

2008 Olympians: 46

Stanford has more affiliated athletes participating in this year's Olympics than any other college. Its 46 participating athletes include 11 current students. The school's biggest contingent comes from its swimming team, which provided eight athletes competing for five different countries. Notable Stanford athletes in the games include swimmer Julia Smit, who picked up two medals in Beijing, and volleyball star Logan Tom. Another honor for Stanford: It has graduated more current American billionaires than any other school except Harvard.

No. 2 University of Southern California

2008 Olympians: 41

Trojans have won a gold medal in every Olympics since 1912. Athletes accomplishing the feat this year include Rebecca Soni, a USC senior who grabbed first in the 200-meter breast stroke with a world record time. Another potential medalist is Lisa Leslie, the WNBA player who starred at Stanford in the early 1990s. The U.S. women's basketball team beat South Korea on Tuesday to advance to the semifinals. The 6 foot 5 inches Leslie has already captured golds in each of the previous summer Olympic Games.

No. 3 University of California, Berkeley

2008 Olympians: 41

Forty-one Golden Bears are participating in Beijing. Milorad Cavic, who attended Cal from 2003 to 2006, competed for Serbia's swimming team this year. He captured the silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly last week, finishing just .01 second behind gold medalist Michael Phelps. Natalie Coughlin, who was at Cal from 2001 to 2004, captured six medals this year. She already had five medals from the 2004 games. "When I went into this meet, I was so nervous going into this Olympics with six events," Coughlin told reporters. "I have never done it at such a high caliber, but it got better as I went on."

No. 4 University of Florida

2008 Olympians: 34

Like most colleges on this list, University of Florida's biggest group of athletes at Beijing comes from its swim team. Nineteen swimming Gators are competing for 13 countries, including Dara Torres. She started attending University of Florida in 1985, and Beijing is the fifth Olympics for the 41-year-old. She's captured three silvers this year. "I'm competitive; I wanted to win a gold, but I gave it my best shot," Torres said.

No. 5 UCLA

2008 Olympians: 32

UCLA's big feeder teams for the Olympics are its women's track and field and softball teams and its men's soccer team. Seven lady Bruins are competing in track and field events. Six will play on the U.S. softball team. Former UCLA men's soccer players Marvell Wynne, Patrick Ianni and Benny Feilhaber are on the U.S. soccer roster. Wynne, son of a pro-baseball player, plays defender for Major League Soccer's Toronto FC.
