[@kickedmarlin128]

Getting passed on the inside and the outside is the most disheartening thing ever

[@malikdammada7559]

That’s just disrespect

[@SassePhoto]

400m is a killer race - the toughest sprint. Amazing performance

[@thetruesquad5059]

is it better when only 1 person runs 400 and you know as in someone runs whole 400 but each person is racing

[@wwefan4life250]

SassePhoto Only sprint that I'd say is tougher is the 400m hurdles

[@mcgmusic7439]

It truly is. And also, the 4x400 is even worse I find because you have to keep strong at the end for good hand offs.

[@travisscott2264]

800 is harder but it’s not a sprint

[@DaBeezKneez]

Does anyone else an intense adrenaline rush when running a 400 almost like you cant control your body anymore just feel you body taking over 😂

[@josecarbajak6190]

Why old heads always screaming " MOOOVEEEEE" like we can actually hear them .

[@edwardgutierrez9072]

Jose Carbajak lol that’s at every track meet man I promise you.

[@trellasforrest914]

Cause we do

[@cwopre]

And the young cats shooting off the gun sounds brrrrrraaaattttt 🤣

[@treesedabeast]

Jose Carbajak Hy man

[@izzybarros]

Thats so true😆

[@Fujiwae]

They all worked hard but what a finish

[@vineethjoshy4819]

The finish did not have me on the edge. I was reclining very relaxed on the settee.

[@thecoach11]

He timed his move just right when everyone else ran out of gas he was cruising

[@Us3rwant3d]

When I tan track I was told to start off slow or do a lil jog then speed up

[@bangbang1145]

Crazy you guys actually showing race footage. Props to you

[@princep2376]

That was an amazing race! Plenty of position changes and comebacks.

[@forrestgump3909]

0:58 Shouldn't the guy in lane 8 be disqualified? He stepped out of his lane.

[@abigailziemer2577]

i don’t know... good question. i think at some meets you’re only disqualified when you step out of your lane if you interfere with another runners race.

[@BertMMA]

Warhammer Titan haa

[@Clammeister003]

That's the team that won aswell

[@pepsiman9840]

i think he was right on it, not quite out

[@paxundpeace9970]

Yes he steep out.

[@swaynizty5832]

that thumbnail didn’t fool me flotrack

[@FUQALL]

The last leg for Dallas Mustangs in the grey, was actually more impressive to me, look where he started his sprint

[@kaishafarrell3929]

The second group with the guy in the purple bottom and grey top has a beautiful running style😀

[@lahty7421]

I’ll make sure you tell him that lol😂

[@Teabonesteak]

So much guts in this one race. Bravo!

[@BrendanEvan]

Wow that was such a tight group all the way through. Those guys are FAST!

[@djchilto]

Raw talent...that's all that matters! Track is awesome!!!

[@achillesiq491]

Thank you for the video.

[@egbduf]

Whoever "the wings" acadamy is there got 2 strong squads

[@DavidDavid-fp6gv]

Jokes on you I'm laying down

[@ericsadler8973]

Man I miss running and watching track and field. I wish it was as big in America as it is in other countries. Maybe create a professional league like or something. Just witnessing the speed increases your adrenaline.

[@ScaryAppul-114]

Eric Sadler they do it’s called the IAAF Diamond League

[@mcgmusic7439]

Yea I wish track was a bigger sport. People work so damn hard at it but barely get recognized as much as other sports. I feel like it’s gaining popularity though outside of the Olympic games

[@donshields2379]

@@mcgmusic7439 thanks to NBC Sports.

[@donshields2379]

NBC Sports has the contract and doesn't show it.

[@holidayrap]

I'm glad I fast forwarded this video.

that was amazing man i loved that

[@oscarchadwick6074]

I’m on the edge of my seat for any race. :)

“Moooooove, moooooove” Summer track og. Dead give away.

[@iiamxrj2947]

I run for athletes academy and we won the 4x800

[@devseal1215]

Well run boys

[@wgang7534]

omg where is me? i literally did the 4x4 in junior olympics!

[@AWildBard]

great contest

[@Gavin_Parks]

lol I run for wings. I was in that Junior Olympics. I ran the 400, 4x1, 4x4 and the 800. In the 400 I ended up being the 6th fastest kid in the nation. This was really good!

[@classifiedsincebirth]

fell off my chair and chewed all my fingernails waiting for the dramatic ending

[@haveagooddayifyoureseeingt5912]

I had a meet against Athletes Academy, their team is practically unbeatable in the 400m and 800m

[@anewzim]

The third leg for the Athletes Academy team won it for them. Don't get me wrong the final leg guy blazed through, lit it up, what a finish from him, but he would have not got that chance had the third leg guy not pushed the way he did particularly in the last 100m before passing on the baton

[@jamesnmah1842]

Thanks appreciate it. I was the third leg guy had one job to give my teammates a chance and the rest is history!

[@anewzim]

@@jamesnmah1842 well done, all the best for your future

[@astro429]

I ran in the 4x4 heat before this our team placed 8th overall😀

[@mcgmusic7439]

Did the anchor run a negative split? Or did he just catch up? It’s hard to tell for me anyone know for sure?

[@iamgodschild9410]

Great job, Memphis Jaguars!!!!

[@raypradaa6113]

I was there this whole meet was ridiculous shout out to Jonathan Simms

[@vambo13257]

I am still firmly in my seat

[@jamesphillips531]

That is insane the first 5 were within a second and a half of each other

[@vexwrld4843]

tht was a good race

[@domepatrol9990]

That ending wasn’t even that close

[@forrestgump3909]

I know, right?

[@AndyZach]

The crazy part is the leader was passed by three other teams in the anchor leg. I wonder if that team went with their best sprinter first? Some do that.

[@hazelnutspred3348]

Did you even watch the race?

[@domepatrol9990]

Jo Momma yeah, did you??

[@domepatrol9990]

Jo Momma Jo Momma that’s how I know the ending wasn’t even that close

[@madtheswine567]

[@malarimiles7580]

I wasn’t on the edge of my seat!

[@Key-With-Me]

The anchor for Dallas Mustangs ran a massive split....

[@Key-With-Me]

48 sec split 😳😳

[@cw9533]

This distant makes the legs feels like jelly.

[@masonbarr8494]

Most 4x4s keep me on the edge of my seat

[@rsru2684]

Wow.

[@Jamesusain]

Heat 7 of boys 15-16 4x4 was such more interesting did you not see that finish ?

[@natclean7982]

Notice there stopping before passing the baton.. Great race tho

[@dennisrobinson8008]

Is the grey dude at the end Aumad Robinson?

[@dawelosears6563]

[@chipwells1352]

I watched this race from a reclining position.

[@playfultoy]

Good lane 8

[@ApplePi31415]

big crowd out there

[@donshields2379]

That is great to see a fan base.

[@michaelvaughn6806]

The first leg runners for lane 7 and lane 8 should’ve been disqualified for stepping out of their lanes on the bend.

[@roganbigballs]

I don’t think you got enough red arrows in the thumbnail

[@lilyflower5576]

You know I never ran track and I have no idea whats going on 😂

[@Praben]

Who is athletic academy anchor? He's fast

[@izzygambino6748]

his name is Salim Epps hes a junior becoming a senior he wont state championship this year as well

[@izzygambino6748]

he also won indoor new balance national 4x4

[@Praben]

@@izzygambino6748 thanks I will keep an eye

[@TheBigCheez365]

Starting leg in lane 8 probably should have been DQ'd for spending so much time in 7 haha. Great race over all though

[@jastew8814]

First I was like “woah that’s really fast for their age” I was assuming they were like 15, the. I saw it was 17-18.

[@nathanosafoomane6224]

I understand why they have the staggered starts on the first lap, but why on the second as well? If you're on the outside lane (first leg), don't you end up running more than if you were inside lane?

[@trinidadrodriquez876]

Yes irá unfair by the time Yo Y cuy in hoy ate what behind.

[@donshields2379]

The stagger makes up for the distance of the bend. You will notice the stagger in this race is further than a 400 meter start.

[@ExcuseMyFr3nch]

Thats a lil over a 3min mile they were moving 🏃

[@SpazRoad]

Is it possible to run the 200m and the 800m without sacrificing speed for endurance?

[@mostunique5941]

Asthmatic Spaz ehhhhh idk, those races are completely different and do use different systems. I run 200, 400m and 800m but if your more of a 200 guy then I wouldn’t recommend going for 800m

[@SpazRoad]

Most Unique I’ve always found that the fastest sprinters could run an 800m even faster then some of distance runners who trained for it

[@tedd1826]

I was there

[@AR-ii3ly]

Great race...but edge of the seat? Kudos to the athletes.

[@orepus2021]

I hope it won’t have me at the edge of my seat as I am on the toilet

[@isaz597]

Lane 7 1st leg runner 😂🤣😜

[@Zmad724]

The name of these schools is killing me. Athletes Academy, where grades always come second to athletics. If you never miss a class, you aren't paying enough attention to your individual sport and get kicked out.

[@izzygambino6748]

Anchor leg for athletes academy Salim Epps @limepps

[@chieflongwood9041]

Was this a black only race?

[@zimzimal8547]

That guy who was at the front on the last leg who ended up coming 4th or something needs to cut off them dreads/braids if he wants to continue being a track athlete, slowed him down no end

[@dean2663]

These are track clubs competing? There were no track clubs when I was in HS.

[@jamesjackson4264]

dean2663 when was you in high school and what state. Track clubs in Texas date back at least to the 80s.

[@dean2663]

[@bgleadbetter]

Please tell me this is a high school race. The hand offs were horrible.

[@bgleadbetter]

@@jupitercrash777 - what makes you think I'm not calm? Is this your first time on the internet?

[@bgleadbetter]

@@jupitercrash777 - what does that have to do with you telling me to calm down? I recognized how horrible the hand offs were. Let me guess... you're one of the coaches, of one of the teams, that doesn't know how to teach the hand off? Lighten up Francis.

[@bgleadbetter]

You're a legend? You're also an a-hole. Your initial comment was condescending and argumentative. You pretend to be some amazing team, but that certainly doesn't translate into being a nice person.

[@donshields2379]

USA men's teams have had baton problems. It is not isolated to high school. But, yes it was a high school race.
