Hottest Bods of Summer '24

As the temperatures are scorching much of the United States, we present to you our second edition of the Hottest Bods of Summer '24. This time we're celebrating a former collegiate track athlete, a current collegiate track athlete, the reigning NCAA high jump champ who is headed to the Olympics and a WNBA veteran who stands at six-foot-seven.

Taylor Robinson

A former collegiate competitor from Mineral, Virginia, which was once known as a gold mining town, Taylor Robinson is the latest valuable resource to come out of the Louisa County. She competed for the University of Marshall from 2017-2021 and Towson University from 2021-2022. While at Marshall, Robinson was able to collect her first prize in her final race in the program. She earned a bronze medal in the 100-meter hurdles at the Conference USA Championships in 2021. She closed her career during the 2022 indoor season for Towson, where she earned 60-meter hurdles wins at the Bison Opener and the Patriot Games.

Kalani Brown

The WNBA is in the midst of its hottest summer ever and Kalani Brown is currently competing in her fifth season. As of the morning of July 6th, the 6-7, 27-year-old center for the Dallas Wings is nine games away from her 100th career game in the WNBA. In a reserve role, Brown is shooting .566 from the field which is her second-best career mark. Last season she shot a career high .629. Brown scored a season's best 13 points against Washington on June 22, making six of her eight shot attempts. Earlier in the season she narrowly missed a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds against Chicago on May 18. Brown is no stranger to our celebration of body positivity. In 2021, she was featured multiple times in our series. You can see one of those features by clicking the link below:

Trinity Rossom

It seems like if your last name is Rossom, you are armed with athletic skills, supreme genetics and a big social media following on Instagram. Trinity Rossom of UCLA has 64,100 followers, Alexa Rossom of Oregon has 26,900 followers and Avian Rossom who just graduated from North Carolina is the biggest of the sisters on Instagram with 422,000 followers. While we just gave you the family rundown, Trinity is the one we're here to honor in this edition of the Hottest Bods of Summer '24. She made her lone appearance on the track at the Rafer Johnson & Jackie Joyner Invitational with a top three finish for the second straight year in the 100 meters, March 23, in Los Angeles. Prior to college Rossom was a high school state champion in Georgia in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400-meter relay.

Elena Kulichenko

To say that University of Georgia's Elena Kulichenko is having a dream year is an understatement. In March, the native of Odintsovo, Russia earned her third straight bronze medal at an NCAA championship meet to close her indoor season. Most high jumpers would be extremely happy to have those three prizes if those were the top accomplishments of their career. Kulichenko went after more and got it as she won her first SEC high jump gold during the 2024 outdoor season. She finished the collegiate season as the NCAA high jump champ with a career best mark of 1.97. Once again, most high jumpers would be fine with that being their top moment of the year. Kulichenko isn't finished. She won the Cyprus national championship and will represent that nation in this summer's Olympic Games. With all of the info that we have provided in this feature, none of you should be surprised if Kulichenko ends her 2024 high jump season with a highly coveted Olympic gold medal.
