U.S. Olympic water polo team – and RE alum Ashleigh Johnson ’12 – defeat Hungary at Ransom Everglades
Ashleigh Johnson '12 received a hero's welcome at Ransom Everglades just six weeks before the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, leading the U.S. women's Olympic water polo team to a dominant 13-6 victory over Hungary at the Ansin Pool on June 27. Photo Gallery
Cheered on by her mother, Donna Johnson, sister Chelsea Johnson '14, and a host of other family, friends, fans and admirers, Ashleigh Johnson made nine saves as she and her teammates easily defeated Hungary in the pre-Olympic tune-up event.
A standing-room-only crowd of about 600 lined the aquatic center stands for the match, which was covered by three local television stations and the Miami Herald. Johnson, who took a year off from Princeton to train for the Olympic Games, won five state titles – one in swimming – while at Ransom Everglades. You can view the Herald story here.
