OK, you got me hooked. Let me ask you for links to 4x400 races then -- YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo; Whereever the "good" stuff is.
Times should not matter, drama gets bonus points! :)

Trust me, you won't believe the finish on this one
2010 State Championship- Corey Brown, now Ohio State WR, runs amazing last 200m to win. You'll have to watch it twice.
Here's the 2007 Penn Relays Boys High School Championship race. It's Long Beach Poly vs. mostly a bunch of Jamaican high schools. Bryshon Nellum anchors for LB Poly against St. Calabar's Yohan Blake....remember these are high schoolers
Thank you. I shot this.

do you mean you shot the Penn Relays video or the PA state championships video? both are sweet justice
Also, I know this race isn't a 4x400, but it's a crazy 4x100 race you have to see. Lauryn Williams, future olympian (in the white at 2 second mark) comes from WAY behind as the anchor leg and wins the state championship...the amount of ground she makes up is downright unsettling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxggBFV3d7IIt's interesting to see where Yohan Blake and Bryshon Nellum are today. Nellum was on his way to become the next great American 200/400 runner. No doubt he would have been a real threat in the 2012 trials had he not gotten shot multiple times in the leg in that freak "wrong place wrong time" situation.
Nellum ran 20.43 and 45.54 in high school (with a couple sub 45 4x400 splits). He is a tremendous talent. It has been years since he was shot and he has consistently gotten better each year. I hope this is a real breakthrough year for him at USC.
But I think 2016 is calling his name.
On that note, NBC is really going to shove this "human interest story" down our throats come trials, but I don't think I'll mind too much. He will have earned the recognition.
St. Thomas Aquinas HS and Miami Northwestern HS, two of the top 4x400m teams in the country, go head to head at the Florida Relays, Miami Northwestern comes out on top at 3:11.

A rematch at the FHSAA 4A State Championships, but this time St. Thomas wins it without the top youth 400m runner in the world, Arman Hall, out with a pulled hamstring.
St. Thomas and Miami Northwestern had the top two 400m runners in the country, with Arman Hall and Hugh Graham Jr., respectively.
