Tokyo, Japan - There was success to be found at Olympic Stadium in Tokyo as Team USA had a few more athletes earning medals on Tuesday.

The US Track and Field team made a run for a few more medals on Tuesday when Athing Mu captured a gold medal in the women's 800-meter final.

This is the 19-year-old's first medal earned in her first Olympic Games.

She was able to outrun the entire field from start to finish, crossing the finish line at 1 minute and 55.21 seconds. Great Britian's Keely Hodgkinson grabbed silver at 1:55.88, while American teammate Raevyn Rogers clinched the bronze at 1:56.81.

Mu's finish makes her the second-youngest winner – male or female – of the Olympic 800-meter race.

Additionally, American sprinter Gabby Thomas finished third in the women's 200-meter final, just overshadowed by Jamaica's superstar Elaine Thompson-Herah's nearly historic first-place finish. Thompson-Herah crossed the line at 21.53 seconds, which is the second-fastest finish in history, behind the record-holding mark of 21.34 seconds.

Christine Mboma of Namibia placed second at 21.81 seconds, just six-hundredths of a second ahead of Thomas' bronze time of 21.87.

Off the track, the US' Chris Nilsen reached enough heights to earn himself a silver medal in the men's pole vault final.

The three-time NCAA champion was able to clear 5.97 meters (19.58 feet), second to Sweden's Armand Duplantis who reached 6.02 meters (19.75 feet). Brazil's Thiago Braz da Silva rounded out the podium with a bronze height of 5.87 meters (19.25 feet).

Nilsen's finish is a new personal best for him, eclipsing the previous record he set while competing at the University of South Dakota.
