Team USA Surpasses London Medal Total Under the Watchful Eye of UO's Lananna

RIO DE JANEIRO - By the time University of Oregon alum Galen Rupp put an exclamation on the 2016 Olympics for the men's USA Track and Field program by winning the bronze in the marathon Sunday morning, the team sat on a haul of 32 medals. That's the most the program has won in an Olympics since 1984 (40) and the most in a non-boycotted Games in 60 years.

The man pulling the strings to make that happen? None other than Duck associate athletic director Vin Lananna.

"I set the tone for what the team is doing," Lananna said.
