NCAA Men's 4x400 Relay Record

LSU's Reginald Dardar, Kelly Willie, Bennie Brazell and Xavier Carter set the NCAA record of 2:59.59 at the 2005 NCAA Championships.

[@lfholt7]

This is the best 4x400 meter race I've ever seen, going back and forth all the way until the end until Xavier Carter puts in a beast leg on the anchor!

[@lfholt7]

Just once I want to run an anchor leg like that at NCs or an international event. The X-Man was a beast!

[@Kelvinllovejr]

Now my boy Seth ran a crazy 2nd leg for ASU. Was eatin boys up. Crazy how fast he was for being so small. Nice little school record for 4x400 for those Sun Devils!! LSU ran a real good race too. Can't argue with a sub 3 flat.

[@lfholt7]

My God, LSU is good. What a run from those last three legs, especially the X-Man.

[@sharktrinity]

This was Willie's highlight race of his career IMO

[@toms9211]

xavier carter is the truth

[@TrackShark92]

Hahaha..Hernynack i feel you man...jazzcy ALTHOUGH ur right LSU does well in all of the relays Baylor is the dominate force in the 4x400m relay AND will be for a while...Baylor is just getting started...

[@pointblack22]

i hate and love this race ....we ran 3:05 at that natoinals and still couldnt make finals but it was crazy watching this race on the back stretch

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 FYI, schools don't have to be a member of the NCAA to compete in the Drake or Penn Relays, and many non-NCAA schools and athletes have won Drake and Penn Relay titles over the years.

[@IANupe104]

If USC had that weather... in 2018.

[@jwillie_43]

That was crazy

[@ogbigc1]

My cousin is kelly willie. 3rd or 4th runner

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 You're wrong. Not only do NCAA colleges compete at Drake and Penn, but also NCJAA and NAIA schools compete there. Furthermore, at the Penn Relays, U Tech of Jamaica regularly competes, and I don't know what association they're in, if they're in any association at all. The bottom line is that the only way to win an NCAA relay title is at the NCAA Championships.

[@aaronkoeppe9057]

13 years later USC runs 2:59 flat

[@dan2hamilton]

Yea he is playing international rugby now

[@henrynack]

well thats one hell of a trick!

[@adaly8075]

He probably meant 4:04. No JV team that i can think of can run 3:04

[@sharktrinity]

@jazzcyclist Are you from Track Shark? Lol. I swear I've heard rant like this before.

[@Lunaaxcx]

To all the middle schoolers wondering how you got a faster time!! Its faster because your track is probably 9 times out of 10 shorter!! But good job on your times thats good for middle school!!

[@BonerAire]

Its sad, cuz they got a 46.6 and a ran a 45 in the 300 lol. But im in the eighth grade.

[@conricks246]

@switchflipcease yea but in my league the 400 is almost always right after the 800, im only a soph in high school tho im hoping to do more races next year and i get better

[@thetrackstart]

i love da 4by 400 im always aunquor i run a 49. n 9th grade

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 You thought wrong. You need to read more carefully in the future. I used the phrase "NCAA relays". I made no mention of Drake Relays, Penn Relays, Texas Relays, etc. If you include all that stuff, LSU has probably won a couple hundred "relay races".

[@ogbigc1]

Kelly willie is my cousin

[@jhim767]

my school is ranked 3 in both the 4x1 and 4x2.and 9th in the 4x4 with a time of 3:19.67

[@ShynyMagikarp]

@jazzcyclist I thought you just meant races won. You should try to specify on TITLES.

[@ShynyMagikarp]

@jazzcyclist How is that even possible? When you say NCAA relays do you mean ANY meet in which Baylor has won? This season? I'm so confused, because Baylor has, without a doubt, won 18 Drake Relays. A win is a win.

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 According to Baylor's media guide, you're wrong. Baylor has won 1 women's indoor 4x400, 6 men's outdoor 4x400's and 7 men outdoor 4x400's. That's 14, not 20. The Drake titles are meaningless since the Drake Relays always takes place the same weekend of the Penn Relays, which draws a deeper field than Drake.

[@MegaMiestro]

Yeah I know, when I was in 6th grade, I ran the mile backwards and got 3 seconds off their relay.

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 I'm talking about NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Relay titles, not Drake Relay titles.

[@chuckmorton8823]

yeah, whatever happened to X Carter?

[@toms9211]

kellie willies leg was key

[@tommyjenkins8776]

Why do people ruin the video with music.

[@conricks246]

tht was intense race, its time like these i wish i ran the 400, but i run the 800, eh wat ya guna do?

[@ShynyMagikarp]

@jazzcyclist Well even though I agree Baylor's track team is only really dominant in the 4x400, they have won 20 (at the least) NCAA relays without a doubt. in 2009 they had won 18 out of the past 21 Drake Relays, which we all know is VERY competitive. Please, think before you post, or learn what you're talking about.

[@ShynyMagikarp]

@jazzcyclist any relay at a college level is an NCAA sanctioned relay...it's part of National College athletics...I don't get how it isn't classified under that? Even if Drake, or Big 12 are sub-groups. And I'm looking to get into a fight, so please don't accuse me of anything. But I don't realize why you're being rude when I'm asking questions and making a legitimate argument.

[@14lujan]

Dang and my best 400 in 9 grade was 56

[@international186]

yeah but the "one-trick" is the most important trick in track and field. the hundred is a show race, men run the 4 and that's why baylor decides to run it. cuz baylor recruits men

[@Kelvinllovejr]

@BRUNO2089 Next year when? In 2010? By who?

[@brution2000]

Too Bad it wasn't 2004 -- Baylor, Minnesota and Arizona --

[@Kelvinllovejr]

@kahlile9 Excuse me?? 5 seconds off the NCAA record? It kills me how you say JV too because if your time was that good not only would you be on Varsity but you would have run one of the top 10 fastest times in the world. You must mean that your JV team ran 3:04 in the 4x200. If you really do mean the 4x400 then what is your school called? How old are you? What are the names of the 3 other guys you ran with? The entire track world should have heard of yall then.

[@jazzcyclist]

LSU has won 36 (or is it 37) NCAA relays, which is more than any other school in the nation. How many has Baylor won? 11, 12 13? Baylor will never catch LSU until it teaches its men to run 4x100's and teaches its women to run anything. Baylor is a one-trick pony.

[@jazzcyclist]

@Dreadlord67 1) No person who has followed the sport of track and field as long as I have would have ever confused a Drake relay title with an NCAA relay title, so I'll have to assume that you're relatively new to the sport, because I don't know a single track fan who would have made the mistake you made. 2) I don't do name calling and personal attacks, so if you're looking to get into a pissing contest, you'll have to find someone else to play these sophomoric games.

[@indigenousgullah6277]

I did my job on 1st leg for my squad UF but we fell short good times

[@SuperKamiGuruu]

Great leg, bro.

[@indigenousgullah6277]

thanks bro those were the good days

[@mezzovoce]

Great, fantastic race--accompanied by an extremely obnoxious song.

[@TheFullOfficial]

My team ran 38 seconds off that and won state. How? 7th grade team :D

[@DTAY45]

3:04 in the 4x200 is really slow just saying???!!

[@TYLerlittmann]

lol reginald dardar

[@MrButtloaf]

yeah dude ur like a minute off .. you guys proly ran like a 4:04

[@NMbluestormtothemax]

You guys probably ran 4:04...not 3:04. For any high school athlete to be splitting anywhere near 45 is insane. the fastest high school time this year is 3:12...so yeah..

[@jhim767]

who cares.oregon has bad times....
