Cullen Jones joins Anthony Ervin

Only three African-Americans have won Olympic medals in swimming for the United States. Cullen Jones of Irvington, N.J. became the third on Monday.
Jones won gold as part of the men's 4x100 meter freestyle relay team. He is only the second African-American to win a gold medal in swimming for the United States.
Anthony Ervin, a Hart High of Newhall graduate, was the first African-American to win a gold medal in swimming when he won the 50-meter freestyle in a dead heat with Gary Hall Jr. in the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney.
Maritza Correia won a silver medal in Athens in the 4x100m freestyle relay to become the first African-American female swimmer to win a medal for the U.S.
