South Carolina great Wadeline Jonathas is taking home gold in Tokyo.
While the track star didn't run in Team USA's gold medal 4x400 relay run Saturday, she will take home a gold because she was part of the four-woman team that ran in the preliminary races that got Team USA to the finals, which happened early Saturday morning in the Eastern time zone.
Jonathas is a two-time national champion since arriving at South Carolina in 2019 and was a three-time All-American in her time at South Carolina.
She becomes the second medalist at the Olympics with Gamecock ties, joining Allisha Gray, who won gold in 3x3 basketball. A'ja Wilson has a chance to make it three gold medals with her and team USA's women's basketball team going for gold Saturday night.
