2662527, NCAA National Championship Women's 4x400m final
Posted by Walleye, Sun Jun-10-18 09:39 AM
Simplest math possible: USC has to win the race for the team title. Please also note Sydney McLaughlin's hellacious third leg for Kentucky.

Lol at the Purdue runner's reaction. "What the fuck?!?"

2662532, I feel like "teammates on the infield" is a vital 4x400m component

The Purdue runner seemed legitimately cashed, so no real blame on her. But I agree that she didn't see USC coming for her and maaaaaaaaaaybe if she had, might have looked deep down for a bit more.

2662533, I don't know. Purdue's anchor ran a good time...

Fast anchor split outside of USC. Maybe she could have run a little bit faster if she knew what was going on behind her.
But I think that walk down was inevitable.
USC anchor ran a world class level split, everyone else was running great college level splits.
I haven't looked into her stats, but I'm pretty sure she's never run anything like that in the past

2662535, That's true - she had Purdue measured

USC's 400m domination this year, for both men and women, has been genuinely fun.

2662536, SMH. Had to be Purdue. On a brighter note,

Chloe Abbott is a very talented, and beautiful, young lady. She finished 5th in the individual 400, ran the first leg that put them in such a great position.
I happened to be at this game, video doesn't do her Justice:

3 records fell....in the rain

2662706, Rai Benjamin really impressed me
Posted by Walleye, Mon Jun-11-18 04:25 PM
Nothing against Norman, but I already knew how good he was. Meanwhile, I'd watched the last few Diamond League meets and Abdurahman Samba has been killing folks weekly. Now Benjamin comes through in a college meet and runs a convincing world leader. That's really cool.
Plus, I'm about ready to see somebody challenge Young's 400imH world record. I watch it semi-regularly because he's got such long legs that it looks like cheating. It's awesome, but weirdly hate-able.

2662708, my wife and I watched it live...

I didn't even know the meet was happening, tbh. I was just going through channels at the right time. Saw them with the batons in the starting block area and decided to let it rock. I cannot believe how the USC gal stalked her down like that.
