Stanford | Sykes Family Match

Thank you to Gene Sykes, MBA ’84, and his family for their generous matching challenge from July 23 – August 8, 2021. We are grateful to all who participated in the Home of Champions Challenge.

Stanford Athletics is proud of the Cardinal student-athletes and coaches who competed in Tokyo. Once again, Stanford showcased its dominance on the world’s biggest stage.

You can still make an impact on our student-athletes with a gift to the Buck/Cardinal Club prior to the fiscal year-end on August 31, 2021. All gifts make a difference!

By the numbers

This summer, more than 50 current and former Stanford student-athletes — plus two head coaches — competed on the world stage.
