It looks like a typical cross town rivalry. No fist were thrown. I personally think it might be good for the sport. A little more excitement might bring more fans of the sport.

Exactly its a rivalry . No one got hurt just egos lol

@Freedom N. , Liberty Its a two team meet idiot

@@FreedomNLiberty-rn3xv you took it way to serious over one of the most competitive sports. get a grip

[@louieamarillas3772]

as a former Bruin trackster...it was bad behavior on both sides....they should not be allowed to be on the the track to cheer and block lanes

[@Christoph-sd3zi]

Judging by the racial makeup of the crowd the behavior is not surprising

[@aaronkoeppe9057]

Why weren't the athletes om the field like they should be? Wrong on the athletes and refs part

[@sammel4184]

Tbh, a lot of the comments are negative but I think a lot of people drift away from track because it has no personality or competitiveness. This was actually pretty funny and entertaining to see. Obviously we don’t need huge commotions but some personality is nice.

[@evetteleonard5606]

With just these 2 teams running I think the antagonizing was just a part of the rivalry and at the end they represented their schools...that's all, all fun...the coaches made it bigger than what it was

[@fightonandon4291]

I’m an SC Grad, and former track athlete. As much as I like to see USC win, that was a display of pretty poor sportsmanship. You go as hard as you can all the way across the line, period.

[@crismaracana2824]

I'm a UCLA grad and I feel the same way! I'm actually ashamed to call myself a Bruin and that Bruins and Trojans represented their respective schools in such a deplorable fashion. My girlfriend, ironically, is a USC grad and sure we get on each other's case when it comes to the rivalry but even she was embarrassed by the attitudes and behaviors of these athletes. This is completely unacceptable behavior!

[@aaronkoeppe9057]

How embarrassing between the 2 schools. The coaches on each team having to step in to stop the teams

[@rocknro1620]

Poor sportsmanship on both sides. You never taunt in the middle of a race! As an SC alum it was a great win but our anchor runner needs to JUST RUN. Keep it classy & let your legs do the talking. ✌

[@JohnHoulgate]

I'm happy to see USC win the relay, but that was pretty classless on both sides. The Bruin 2nd leg must have counted on the third and fourth legs to hold the lead he gave them. The hand signaling by both teams was so unnecessary. Is anyone giving these kids any guidance about how to behave like an adult?

[@warriorj8658]

As a former track athlete and lover of the sport I’m embarrassed

[@kennethwoods6525]

Did this race determine the overall winner?

[@thatracklife6550]

The score was: MEN UCLA 88 SC 70 VWOMEN UCLA 75. SC 88

[@kennethwoods6525]

@@thatracklife6550 : Thank you for the context. The overall meet for the men was already decided but this 4X4 win gave USC something to celebrate. Love the rivalry. Steeped in so much meaningful history.

Can’t even be good sports, there always has to be trash talk.

UCLA’s 2nd leg cost them that relay

What do you expect 😂

[@MrDjbuckethead]

This was the most ignorant competition I've seen. These are our future leaders?

[@pathfinderstravelmagazine2903]

If I were coaching these teams, I would have string words for them. Never look back. Don't congratulate yourself before breaking the tape. Don't taunt. ....so much ugly, unprofessional behavior here

[@richardgoh9598]

Those 2 guys disrespected the sport, the colours of their school, their parents and themselves. If these two renown institutions of higher learning represents the right values then these shameful behaviours shouldn’t be condone and the two athletes should be banned from the sport

[@GeeDee103]

2nd leg cold for UCLA V for victory upside down 🤣🤣🤣 4’s up Go Bruins if UCLA get rid of the 3rd leg they win easily…

[@sandyacombs]

Both teams should be ashamed of their behavior, showing a complete lack of sportsmanship.

[@Christoph-sd3zi]

When did USC and UCLA turn into Planet of the Apes?

[@zeyunggiscool]

Childish

[@michaeldavies4871]

BTW, it resulted in a double DQ

[@michaeldavies4871]

That was a fuckin’ disgrace. The lack of sportsmanship is appalling. Coaches, control your teams, there’s no excuse for this thuggish behavior on the track.
