Allyson Felix won a gold medal with the USA women’s 4×100-meter relay and Aaron Brown and Andre De Grasse won a bronze medal with the Canada men’s 4x100m relay at the Summer Olympics on Friday.

Earlier Kami Craig and Kaleigh Gilchrist won gold in water polo as Team USC defeated Italy 12-5.

With the three medals earned on the track and in the pool Friday, Trojans have won 17 medals at the Rio Games. USC track and field athletes have earned eight of those medals, matching the 1932 and 1936 Olympics for most medals won by Trojans in a single Games.
