I must say watching the Penn Relays always gets me excited all over again about the sport of Track and Field. It makes me wish I was still running; I am anxious as if I am preparing to run as I watch these great athletes compete. USA women have certainly redeemed themselves in the relays, having dropped the baton in the last two major championships.
There were no outstanding performances, everyone did there part. The USA men have a little more work, but they are headed in the right direction. Overall the USA team did represent on the homeland. However, Jamaica is still in the lead in relays. They are a force to be reckoned with both men and women relays. Of course, Usain Bolt did his appearance in the 4x100 relay and "Yes" he did his thing. He split a 8.79 in the 4x100, which is unheard of these days. I still say Jesse Owens holds the 4x100 split 8.64. Usain is mighty close though.
Collegiate athletes were representing as well. In my opinion, there were no outstanding performances as well. Everyone that ran did there part on the team and the results showed. But I must add that Texas A&M still has me baffled on there efforts to takeover the forefront. I am cheering for you guys.
