Brittany Brown won the bronze medal in the 200 meters iirc and I have heard the women's discuss silver medalist was or is a hawkeye. Great job by them and love to see them get a medal

Edit: My mistake, I was mistaken about the discus silver medal.

Here is the Hawk discus thrower, very accomplished:

Laulauga Tausaga-Collins (born 22 May 1998 in Hawaii) is an American discus thrower. With a personal best throw of 69.49 m, she won the gold medal at the 2023 World Athletics Championships.[2] She also won the gold medal at the 2022 NACAC Championships.

Professional​

[edit]
Tausaga made the women's discus final at 2019 and 2022 world championships, won silver medals in discus at the 2019 match and 2019 NACAC U-23 Championships. Tausaga won discus at 2017 Pan American U20 Athletics Championships.

She won the gold medal at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest with a fifth throw of 69.49 m that raised her personal best by more than four metres, after finishing 12 and last in the discus final at the previous two world athletics championships.

She failed to qualify for the 2024 US Olympic team by fouling all three of her attempts.[2]
