Âé¶¹AV native Taylor Ruck (second from right) won her second bronze medal of the Olympic Games Wednesday in the women's 4 by 200 free relay.

Âé¶¹AV-born swimmer Taylor Ruck made her second trip to the podium Wednesday night at the Olympic Games in Rio.

Swimming the second leg of the race, the 16-year-old Ruck and her Canadian teammates won the bronze medal in the women's 4 by 200 metre relay.

Ruck, Katerine Savard, Brittany MacLean and Penny Oleksiak—with her third medal of the games—finished third in a new national record time of 7:45.39.

Ruck, who was born in Âé¶¹AV, moved with her family to Scottsdale, Arizona when she was 10 months old. She has returned regularly to Âé¶¹AV during the summers to visit her grandparents and also trained with the Âé¶¹AV AquaJets Swim Club.

Earlier this week, Ruck swam the third leg for Canada in a bronze medal win in the 4 by 100 freestyle relay.
