Alyssa Mendoza became the first Olympic boxer to qualify for the Games from the state of Idaho and is the youngest competitor on the 2024 roster at just 20 years old.

McCane also etched her name in the history books for her city of Cleveland, Ohio, and became the fifth consecutive boxer, and first female, from her city to qualify for an Olympic Games.
