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!
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
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
Walking down a 20-40+ meter deficit in a 400 meter leg is absolutely nuts, especially at this level. Her split was 50.01... which was only 1.75 seconds off of Olympic record pace... and 2.4 seconds off of world record pace. Given the stumble at the beginning, this was an exceptional run for the USC anchor leg. (And all of the other ladies of course.)
I've run my fair share of 400s in track and my gut tells me that she simply ran out of gas rather than slowed down intentionally. In these races, if you go out too hard, you run out of steam full-boat at the end. The Purdue runner was just spent.
It’s not over until it’s over........ run to win or don’t run at all. I love 💕 seeing that effort from deep inside of every one who calls upon it. A moment of total greatness. Peace.
Holy moly. For everyone asking, yes apparently you can kick in a 400. The best tactic in a 400 is to sprint as fast as you can for the first 300 and then go faster for the last 100 😂
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 💛
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” 🤣
Lea Jones Can’t wait to cheer in the new Hayward Field stadium. It looks incredible and is going to be so loud since it is more enclosed. See you there!
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!!!!
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.
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!
The girl from Purdue still split around 52.5 which says A LOT about how fast Kendall Ellis was running. She shouldn’t be ashamed. She got beat by one of the best in the world... the 2018 indoor National champ in the 400, who also just happened to be a gold medalist from the 2017 world championship USA 4x400 team as well. Heck of a race either way! Ellis has heart for miles!

Announcer: Purdue has just won the race, unless she drops the baton
Kendall Ellis: hold my beer
Lgpsoccer 22 haha
Excellent
Hold my baton
🍻
Lmao
GIRL!!! YOU RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. ASSUME NOTHING IN THE 4X4
I dont think she did, she just completely faded.
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
tab0108 amen
Is this the black chat
Not just the 4X4 but in each and every race.
That Purdue girl is gonna have her own seat on the bus
That girl will be hitchhiking home
ALL to herself, man!
Ethan Bates UBER!
No bull lol u saw her face lmao she was like fuck
Fuckn Right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Matthew M Kendall didn’t necessarily get out.
Dang she really did

That sounds kinda like uva mbb
That wasn't training...100% EFFORT&DETERMINATION.
Nothing? She could have ran faster.
THIS WAS HANDS DOWN THE RACE OF THE GAMES!!
She is now a living legend at SC!!
USC needs to commission a bronze statue of ellis at the finish. If that doesn't epitomize FIGHT ON, nothing does.
@@brianjacob8728 She ran a 50.00 anchor leg I would have thought she was under that obviously (49.5) seeing as how USC was so far back!!!!!!!
@@dwightlove3704 She had a bobbled start.
@@stevenmackey7416 Who had the poor start???
One of the best races you will see.. lesson never give up and leave it all out on the field
Yep! Never give up is my thing as well!

She was so tired she couldnt even look up at the replay to see if she for sure won. Thats when you know it was max effort.
Can't take nothing away from the talented women in this race, but... I'm now a Kendall Ellis fan forever! Savage! Tenacious! Focused!
purdue shouldve ran through. the anchor slowed down bc she thought she got it.
The anchor slowed down because she had no lift at the end. Poor training or a poor choice of anchor.
She heard the announer, that's why
she slowed down because she tied up, the anchor from USC ran her down
No mam...she just tanked...look at that back stretch...she was hauling ass
I've run my fair share of 400s in track and my gut tells me that she simply ran out of gas rather than slowed down intentionally. In these races, if you go out too hard, you run out of steam full-boat at the end. The Purdue runner was just spent.
My favorite relay race of all time. AMAZING. Watched it live and lost my mind. Definitely one of those sporting events you tell your kids about
Announcer: Purdue has just won this race, there is no way unless she drops the baton.
Kendall Ellis: Relax, I'm the closer for a reason.
Unless she drops her tongue...
It’s not over until it’s over........ run to win or don’t run at all.

Love way you saying!
That final kick by the USC runner was amazing! She deserves and rightfully earned that win! 👏👏👍

How can anybody give this video a thumbs down. this is an amazing race with a super anchor leg.
Some partial to Georgia, maybe?
Or just jealous.
Purdue fans
This race will never get old
Truth is stranger than fiction. You couldn't script it any better than this.
OMG who else keep replaying that final leg. WOW
Wow! The will of Kendall is what I got to have!

wow that was badass! bravo, m'lady!
4:45 poor Deanna Hill from USC just wanted to catch her breath for a moment
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” 🤣
i mean how many times have you rewatched this?? cause its been over 20 times for me haha
Haha 😂 Me Too , I even immitate the commentators now😂
Oh my godnesss oh my goodness
3 years later and I still watch it about 8 times a month
one the bravest anchor run I have ever seen
That's crazy bruh.. she really caught that girl
i run the 4x4 for my school and tbh i’m honored to have the same name as her 😌
The second leg from Purdue should’ve been the anchor she absolutely bossed her part! 😳🏃🏾♀️💨💨💨
You want to see track fans? Eugene OR, baby. Cheering USC's win.
Connie B We are quite familiar with the experience up here.
Great sportsmanship and the fans knows it
Lea Jones Can’t wait to cheer in the new Hayward Field stadium. It looks incredible and is going to be so loud since it is more enclosed. See you there!
The winner of women team was in that last 10 metre, wow....
One THE GREATEST FINISHES of all time. God Bless Kendall Ellis! wow
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!!!!
Wow.
Kendall Ellis! This is why we go to USC!
Wow. What a comeback. Way to hustle.
The greatest anchor leg in a Track and Field history!
I agree this is great, but Evelyn Ashford ran an anchor leg for the 4x100 at the 1988 Seoul Olympics that was so amazing in my opinion.
INCREDIBLE!! Doesn't get better than that...
Now this is how you leave it all on the track! Amazing race!
Kendall did great ! USC DID THAT
There you go...never ever give up. The Purdue girl was out of gas and let up just enough and USC kept coming and got that lean
Amazing win!!! Big BRAVO
Anyone else watching this during COVID-19 and still gets hype about this race!!!
MissEllis,you are a beast and you proven it is not over till you cross the finish line, you just inspired so many girls
Never give up,never give up ,never give up.
other videos claim greatest comeback or greatest finish. no, this is it! And I'm a UCLA Bruin!
That was truly amazing to watch I love track and field

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.

so inspirational!!!
I'M SOO PROUD OF YOU LADY
Amazing 👏
running is a contact sport, i will push you out of my way.
impressive 50 second sprint
