A mention must be made of the Trinidad and Tobago men’s 4 by 400 squad who, with a population merely the same size as San Diego, gave the mighty USA a run for their money in the final.

Please, go away!
Ayana is getting seriously short changed here. can't believe how few mentioned her, when she should be near/at the top of all lists. definitely the most impressive distance performance, even if Kiprops win was more thrilling. 8:19 last 3k is unreal.
As a group, current and former OREGON DUCKS! Quack, quack!
"The 2015 IAAF World Outdoor Championships were an unmatched success for the University of Oregon as current and former Ducks won a program-high six medals among their 10 event finalists (top eight). Ashton Eaton won gold in the decathlon, while Brianne Theisen-Eaton won silver in the heptathlon. English Gardner, Jasmine Todd and Jenna Prandini combined to win silver in the 4x100 meter relay and Phyllis Francis brings home a silver medal from the 4x400.
Other top eight finishers for the Ducks included Galen Rupp in the 5,000 and 10,000, Francis in the 400 and Centrowitz in the 1,500 meters."

Schippers without a doubt. She broke the real world record in the 200m.
Ducks?! Ok, Ashton Eaton is the greatest athlete ever! Unbelievable.
But what has any other Oregon duck won (gold medal) at an Olympics for the US since the days of Prefontaine? One discus a long time ago and one 4x400 relay gold for running in the heats.
Much ado about very little those Oregon Ducks.

Oregon????
USC beats them with only Allyson Felix.
Add the others...
That Bolt and Pryce can look at themselves in the mirror after those of the charts performance's.
Second that Denis Mitchell held relays camps and everything for the US relays and their handoffs were worse then most high school teams....
