Tennessee Track & Field/XC: Bartoletta Earns Bronze In World Championship

University of Tennessee legend Tina Bartoletta has achieved yet another monstrous milestone in her career, earning the bronze medal for the women's long jump in the London 2017 IAAF World Championships at London Stadium.

Coming fresh off of her victory in the USATF Outdoor Track and Field Championship back in June, Bartoletta tweeted how proud she was - as well she should be - about her victory Friday.

I am so proud of this medal. I didn't execute well enough to keep my title but I damn sure never stopped fighting.

She entered her sixth and final jump holding fourth place.
