Now that all the events are done, Ventura Country would have finished with five medals: a gold for Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers in beach volleyball; silvers for Jessica Mendoza and the women's softball team, and for the men's water polo team, and bronzes for Brandon Knight and the baseball team, and the Bryan brothers in tennis doubles.
The way we count medals in the U.S., that would tie the county with Slovenia, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Sweden, Croatia and Lithuania for 38th. (Use the rest of the world's accounting method, ranking by golds, and the county would slide quite a bit.)
Any way you measure it, a pretty good haul.
