Monday morning blues? Not for this crew.

Over 4,000 athletes brought the energy — but it took a dedicated, behind-the-scenes crew of U Services team members and campus partners to make the USA Games run like clockwork. From high-tech badges to late-night SPAM runs, here is how our teams stepped up to deliver an unforgettable week.

Thanks to our Waste Recovery team members and partners around campus, the events had sustainability in the forefront.

U Market Services (UMS) found themselves going the extra mile this summer. Literally!

For one unforgettable week, our residence halls transformed into a bustling Olympic village as over 4,000 athletes and coaches moved into eight different residence halls and apartments to be their home away from home.

Many athletic events are defined by the fierce competition on the court, but at this year’s USA Games, some of the most unforgettable moments happened at the dining tables. For the M Food Co. and Chartwells teams, food became the ultimate bridge — turning mealtime conversations into lifelong memories and transforming bitter border rivals into unexpected friends.
