EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Allyson Felix won her 19th and final medal in the world championships Friday night — a bronze she took after running the second leg of America’s 4×400-meters in the mixed relay that’s been touted as the last major race of the 36-year-old’s career. Felix was entered only in the mixed relay after failing to qualify for the worlds in an individual race. The 19th medal, the third bronze of her 10 trips to the championships, extends the record she already held. Adding to her 11 medals from the Olympics — a record for any American in track and field — she now has an even 30 from her sport’s two biggest events.
