It's been a great summer to be a Florida Gator, as athletes associated with the University of Florida collected a total of 22 medals: 9 gold, 6 silver and 7 bronze. The final two medals came on Saturday night, when the U.S. men's 4x100m relay won a silver, with the help of Jeff Demps' run in the preliminaries, and Novlene Williams-Mill assisted the Jamaican women in the 4x400m relay, which won a bronze medal.
The medal total eclipses the Gators' 1984 mark of 20 medals. If UF were a country, it would have been 11th in the total medal count. The only other university that won more medals in these Olympic Games was USC, with Trojan athletes winning 25 medals.
Here is a summary of which UF athletes medaled in the London Games:
