Thomas, who lives in the Austin area, earned a master’s degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Austin in May 2023. The now-Olympic gold medalist earned her bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, where she became the Ivy League’s first NCAA sprint national champion in the indoor 200-meter race during the 2017-18 season.
It is the third overall Olympic medal for Thomas and second individual medal. On top of earning bronze in the 200-meter final in Tokyo, Thomas was part of the United States women’s 4×100 relay team that won silver. As noted by USA TODAY’s Lindsay Schnell, Thomas is expected to compete in the relay in Paris later this week.
That wasn’t the only medal that the United States picked up on Tuesday in the event, as Thomas’ teammate Brittany Brown beat out Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith for bronze by 0.02 seconds. Alfred earned the silver medal with a time of 22.09 seconds.
