The Road to Paris: Meet the 2024 U.S. Olympic Women’s 3x3 Basketball Team

The 2024 U.S. Olympic women’s 3x3 basketball team is set to take the world stage in Paris, and we’re taking a closer look at the collegiate roots of these talented athletes.

Coaching Staff

Leading the team is head coach Jennifer Rizzotti, president of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun. Rizzotti, a UConn alumna, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously coached at Hartford and George Washington. Assisting her is Tammi Reiss, a four-year star at Virginia and current head coach at Rhode Island.

The Players

Cameron Brink

Stanford University’s Cameron Brink is a force to be reckoned with. Her dominant college career earned her the No. 2 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. Brink’s impressive résumé includes a national championship in 2021, three All-American honors, and the 2024 national defensive player of the year award.

Hailey Van Lith

Hailey Van Lith, a TCU Horned Frog, has had a storied college career. Transferring to TCU prior to the 2024-25 season, Van Lith previously played for Louisville, earning first-team All-ACC honors twice. A brief stint at LSU under Kim Mulkey preceded her move to TCU.

Cierra Burdick

Cierra Burdick, a Tennessee Volunteer, boasts an impressive collegiate career. The only two-time world champion in 3x3 for Team USA basketball, Burdick’s professional career has been just as impressive.

Rhyne Howard

Rhyne Howard, a Kentucky Wildcat, put together an impressive college career. Named national freshman of the year and twice earning SEC player of the year honors (2021, 2022), Howard’s success led to her being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft.

These talented athletes are ready to take on the world stage in Paris. With their impressive collegiate backgrounds and experienced coaching staff, the 2024 U.S. Olympic women’s 3x3 basketball team is poised for greatness.
