USC Womens 4 x 400 track win

But not SOFTBALL!!!!!!111!

(And Beach Volleyball was kinda lame ... UCLA should have had to beat FSU twice to claim the title after emerging from the loser's bracket. Stupid made-for-TV setup).

 

According to the official meet splits, Purdue's anchor ran her leg in 52.08 -- her open PR is 52.37.

 

She did fantastic. Just not good enough to win.

 

The 4x4 is and always has been a contact sport. That head-on shot of the exchange zone is a standard for track photographers because they know they're usually going to get some pushing and shoving and/or something crazy in the frame.

 

K thanks. I just noticed her running through her once they both had the baton.

 

Holy cow! That was amazing!!!
Ellis is phenomenal in down the stretch. Those strides were something else.

 

Probably true but that's 25 more people than watched the ACC Network.

 

So I am watching the replay of the "IAAF World Relays: Day 2" on The Olympic Channel. The broadcast features introductions of the women's team who come out of the stadium tunnel and do brief group dance numbers. This is cute.

I find women's track and field more watchable with HDTV.
