Even though Machel Cedenio is having a subpar year, the T & T firepower was too much for the US to handle. Jereem Richards looks pretty useful at 400, for a 200 guy.

Yuck!
London is just not the Americans' city for 4x4. Lost to Bahamas in 2012, lost to T & T in 2017. Sad. And to make it even worse, Michael Johnson is a BBC commentator. Jinx.
The team from Trinidad &Tobago ran incredibly to win. The United States had a really young team that was burned out from the long NCAA season (minus Roberts), we were not invincible this year in the 4X400. If Kerley, Cherry and London hadn't run such long seasons and already peaked the US would have won easily, but such is the way with the NCAA.
Looks like the team should have stuck with their old coach for 4x100 and 4x400
Yeah. A dropped baton is less embarrassing than a silver medal.

Richards is also a 400m sprinter, a former National JC Champion.
Didn't tExas run nearly that quick. There is no way, with all the 400m runners in the US that they should lose to Trinidad & Tob whose population is 1.3 million. That was a disgrace for the US.
The U.S. Junior team at Pan Am Jrs was less than two seconds slower, and they were unpressed the entire way.
Kerley is well past his peak. I new he wasn't going to hold the lead. His legs are toast from the long season.

There's that wrong-athletes-on-the-team excuse again. No reason USATF can't tell tired/injured people to step aside and send someone who might win.
Centrowitz, especially, straight up said he was injured and couldn't train properly since nationals, and should have been kicked off. He should be banned from 2019's team just for wasting a spot on this year's.
