Not only one but three of the track and field athletes from Team USA have managed to clinch bronze medals, adding to the USA’s medal collection. Although Team USA fell short of clinching a gold, the athletes managed to soar the USA’s flag high.

Glory to the USA, sans gold

Although Track and field spectators were quite disappointed by the performances of the USA’s athletes, three of them managed to keep up with the expectations. In a recent post, USATF highlighted the achievements by American Athletes. The post was captioned as, “Ednah Kurgat ran 33:16.61 in the 10,000 – Team USATF’s first medal of the Pan Am Games Tiffany Flynn jumped 6.40m for long jump bronze Demarius Smith, Honour Finley, Richard Johnson, and Jada Griffin clocked 3:19.41 in the mixed 4×400”

The first medal for Team USA was marked by one of the best track-and-field athletes on the Plate of Team USA. Ednah Kurgat not only clinched the first bronze for the team but also recorded a run in 33:16:63 in the Women’s 10,000-meter final race. In addition to this, she was only 3.62 away from Luz Rojas Llanco, the first contender in the race.

On the other hand, Tiffany Flynn clinched another bronze medal for Team USA in the Women’s Long Jump Final event. She not only stood in the third position but also secured a jump of 6.40m.
