Emily Ausmus, 18, from King High of Riverside and USC, is among seven first-time Olympians for the three-time defending champions.

Emily Ausmus #12 of Team USA passes against Team Australia in the second period of a women’s water polo exhibition game at Long Beach City College in Long Beach on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. USA won 14-8. Seven first-time Olympians will join decorated Southern California attackers Maddie Musselman, Rachel Fattal and Kaleigh Gilchrist on the U.S. women’s water polo team at the Paris Olympics as it attempts to claim a fourth consecutive gold medal.

“We have a healthy mix, I believe, of experience with youth,” U.S. coach Adam Krikorian said in a statement released by USA Water Polo. Six of the seven first-time Olympians played in the finale. The exception was Emily Ausmus, an 18-year-old from King High in Riverside and USC who will be the United States’ youngest player in Paris. She played earlier in the tournament.

Goalie Ashleigh Johnson, who had 53 saves at the World Championships, is another three-time Olympian. Goalie Amanda Longan became a two-time Olympian on Thursday.
