Congratulations to Stanford sophomore Kristina Vaculik, who was named to the Canadian gymnastics Olympic team.  Kristina is the reigning Canadian national champion.

It would be fun to group all the Stanford Olympians in one thread.  Feel free to add and change the number at the bottom accordingly.

Riley is new Zealand but O'Hare, Buehler and Barnhart for USA women's soccer. 

Kristin Richards, Logan Tom, Fuluka A and Cynthia Barboza WVB.  Although Richards might be an alternate.

Good catches Bob...I guess the Stanford SID once again needs to get on the ball with adding O'Hara and Buehler to the women's soccer roster.  I flubbed Riley's New Zealand affiliation.

Regarding MVB and WVB--when are the official rosters announced?  I see at least a couple of Stanford men (Gabe Gardner, Kevin Hansen, Kawika Shoji) on the MVB national team roster as well, but I think the Olympic roster for both men and women are separate from the national team rosters of the USA Volleyball.  I don't see Foluke on the women's natl team roster, but I do see Ogonna Nnamani in addition to the others you already named.
