Two Trojans who shined on the world's biggest stage in 2016 are nominated for awards at the 2017 ESPYS.
USC alum Allyson Felix is nominated for Best Female U.S. Olympic Athlete after becoming the most decorated American woman in Olympic track and field history.
At the Rio Olympics last summer, Felix won two gold medals (in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays) and a silver medal (in the 400m).
She now has a total of nine gold medals -- six gold and three silver -- tying her with Jamaican sprinter Merlene Ottey for the most Olympic medals of any female track and field athlete in history.

The only Trojan who had a more impressive Olympic showing was swimmer Katinka Hosszu. The Hungarian USC alum, nicknamed The Iron Lady, is nominated for Best International Athlete.
Hosszu burst onto the scene at the Rio Olympics, setting a world record and taking home the gold in the 400m IM in addition to winning the 200m IM and the 100m Back. She also earned a silver in the 200m Back.
No other swimmer at the Rio Olympics won more individual events.
