FOR THE WIN! That’s as close as it gets to a buzzer beater in track and field. Not gonna spoil the race with a description for all of you first time viewers. Sit back and enjoy!
USC's 3rd leg isn't getting the credit she deserves. She closed that gap alot to put the 4th leg in a good position to win and she was just phenomenal running that last leg
dbeezy The 3rd leg may have closed the gap but the anchor leg for USC was far from being in a “good position to win” when she started her 400, especially after that terrible handoff
Matthew M I don’t know who/what caused the bad handoff, but even before that I wouldn’t propose she was in a great position to win. A better position than at the start of the 3rd leg, sure.
This is so much bigger than this race. Rarely do you see a comeback story. Last year Kendall was in the same position and unfortunately she came up short. I know she was hard on herself about it coming to a big stage like this and coming short. She trained to be ready this time and it all worked out. There was nothing the girl from Purdue could do
Connie B yea. I can’t lie when I saw them bobble the baton I just thought they were out of it, but when I seen her coming in the last hundred and win at the line I threw my couch at the tv. Yea my couch at the tv lol
Agree, you never know what other people's capabilities are on the last 60 meters or so, some people save their energy for that last stretch in order to catch up the distance of first place who is probably tired on that stretch
No way they could DQ USC for barging in lane one after that amazing final leg. Shows how important pacing is. So easy to go out too hard in relays due to all the excitement. Wow, what a race! Love the Oregon fans cheering for excellence!
Robert Morrison but as a track runner you can take the inside from someone as long as you aren’t messing up the other person’s running. The Kentucky runner was not bothered but Ellis’ opportunity of taking inside and not running more and taking outside like Kentucky did 💛
There is no way Purdue is going to lose this unless they drop the baton. USC is not going to catch Purdue.................OH MY GOODNESS, OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
That slow mo shot at the end is priceless as the Kentucky runner crosses the finish line just ahead of the Perdue runner, and the Perdue runner can be seen mouthing “F**k” 🤣
Rocky, Rudy, and Kendall Ellis! One of the sport's greatest comebacks ever! She "lost" (barely) in the final leg of the 2017 Women's 4x400 championship to Raven Rogers but NOT in this race! From 4th to 1st! ALL HEART! One of Track and Field's GREATEST final relay legs ever!
This is pretty amazing! Kendall Ellis was SO FAR behind the Purdue Girl, heading into the last turn, I thought it was impossible for her to catch the leader. Kendall literally made up TWENTY YARDS, over a 220 yard distance!! That's incredible!!
Woww. Amazing. I was in suspans all the time. Really wish Sydney made her move but she kept up well. Good move for the last girl who won. Congratulations.
Hmm!!! Makes me wanna go out & do an exercise walk! Calling forth all 'Don't spoil it' thrilling races, in which the winner is not revealed in the video title, & participating athletes are not later suspended for doping violations. My finds are: mens 1985 4x400m world cup, 1996 olympics womens 4x400, 2016 ncaa womens 4x400, & 2014 european womens 4x400m.
All 186 of those downvotes are from Purdue and Georgia!! The Georgia people are probably still cussing!!! They had the team title until the last possible second!!!
