Harvard University hasn’t been known for producing Olympic medalists — until Gabby Thomas stepped on the track.
The 24-year-old track star has been making headlines as a strong medal contender ever since she won the women’s 200-meter dash at the U.S. Olympic trials in June. Now, Gabby Thomas is making history as the first Harvard graduate to win two-track medals from one Olympic Game, according to Go Crimson, the official athletics website for Harvard University.
