Appearance
The Utah State Aggies are an American handball team, representing Utah State University,[1] in collegiate tournaments organized by the United States Handball Association.
History
[edit]Handball started as a class at Utah State in 2001 by Herm Olsen as a result of declining participation in the game in younger generations.[2][3] He coached the team for more than 20 years, instilling a "tradition of winning"[4][5] in the program, and oversaw the development of 11 individual national champions, two doubles champions and a pair of team championships in 2022.[6] He was named the US Handball Association Coach of the year in 2021.[7]
The team was co-coached by Olsen with Stacey Marble in 2022,.[8] with Marble taking full control ahead of the 2023 season[6]
