Pelham native Kate Douglass brought home a bronze medal for the Westchester community who was rooting for her at the Olympics in Tokyo Japan. Douglass, 19, finished third in the 200-meter individual medley with a personal best time of 2:09.04.

Douglass, who was a standout swimmer in Westchester for most of her teenage years, now swims for the University of Virginia. The Pelham Picture House hosted a watch party for Douglass on July 27.

The U.S. Women’s Swim team now has 11 medals, led by noted U.S. Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky.
