Meanwhile, Eli Bennett, son of legendary UVA coach Tony Bennett, joins the Indiana Pacers as an associate coach and video assistant, bringing his coaching experience and UVA roots under Rick Carlisle. On the international stage, UVA rowers Elsa Hartman and Lila Henn claimed gold for the U.S., while Emma Alimbau-Borràs earned bronze for Spain. In tennis, Dylan Dietrich made his mark at the ATP Challenger Tour, reaching his first semifinal in Switzerland.
