Fred Kerley is one of 26 Aggies currently competing in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and on Sunday, he became the first one of them to bring home a medal. Kerley made it to the final in the men’s 100 meters, and came away with the silver medal after a narrow defeat to Italy’s Lamont Marcell Jacobs.
