GUADALAJARA, Mexico - Indiana University senior Allysa Vavra won a bronze medal in the 400-meter individual medley at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
American Julia Smit took gold with a time of 4:46.15, followed by Brazil's Joana Maranhao with the silver in 4:46.33.
Vavra took home her first international medal with a time of 4:48.05. That is the fourth-fastest time in the Indiana record books.
Vavra had the second-fastest qualifying time for the A final, winning her heat in a time of 4:53.76, two seconds behind Smit.
