Nine out of the top 25 men are American (36%) with 15 out of the top 25 women (60%) coming from the US. The oldest man was born in 1994 which makes him 24 years old, a bit old for a college player. However, players from Israel are granted an age exemption by the NCAA due to their compulsory military service after the completion of high school. The oldest women were born in 1996 which makes them 21 or 22 depending on birth month, right in line with what you would expect for college seniors.
