Missouri City Olympian Deadmon returns to hero's welcome

Tokyo Games Olympic gold medalist Bryce Deadmon is convinced he has the perfect team.

“Really got friends and family that support me more than I support myself,” Deadmon recently posted on Twitter after returning home from Tokyo to a hero’s welcome after being a member of the USA men’s 4x400 meter relay.

The Missouri City native and former Texas A&M star was also a member of the bronze medal winning 4x400 relay.

At the Aug. 21 special ceremony held at the Community City Plaza, the 24-year-old Omega Psi Psi member was fêted with a marching band and a steady supply of American flags.

Deadmon’s Olympic Games performance marked a stretch to remember for Texas A&M Olympians, with Aggie athletes winning a combined seven medals, including NBA star Khris Middleton being a member of the gold medal winning men’s basketball team.
