ladies side collegiate open 4x4 there's the collegiate record a m aggies from last year longhorns have the meat record way back in 2004. that's an old one 18 years ago to see a couple different repeated arkansas and texas teams in this heat but in lane two kansas state out of manhattan coming in and order is on our sheets o'sheala johnson chalisa ray lavon stevenson and alex ferguson going to be bringing up the tale for the wildcats all the qualified teams have checked in out in lane seven this is clemson and their running order so far given to us is courtney williams arya campbell canaria gadson and kenya thompson we will change them as we get them as every single one of these four by fours change last minute as they give their cards to the clerk of the course texas team in this heat arkansas team in this heat as well in the next sonia richards ross heat that will have all of the premier heats so this is more of a bee heat for arkansas and texas it's nice when you have that kind of depth yeah it is from the inside ut arlington at one then kansas state howard colorado then arkansas texas clemson and on the outside oklahoma state and byu down this back stretch you're battling about an eight would you say eight eight to ten yeah at least eight to ten mile per hour headwind and what you've got to do is you have to make sure that you use your arms you won't you don't want to expend as much leg energy as possible on that back stretch keep your arms going work around this curve the third 100 of this 400 is where you really have to re-accelerate and then now just pick your knees up and let the wind bring you home first leg on a 4x4 is your best starter out of a block at least a heart for byu doing a good job for the cougars out there for nine and at seven clemson looks like they might pass first now it's down to two kansas state passing first they'll stay in their lanes through this turn when you get to the back of this curve right here is where they're going to cut for the pole and i've said it a thousand times during these relays you want to have a nice even line as you cross down you see how clemson just cut in super super tight in the purple and puts her into third that can actually disrupt your stride pattern and you're running a little bit harder than you need to just take a nice gradual line it looks like jada baylark for arkansas running in third right now in the maroon top and bright bottoms it is that's baylark i was expecting her to be on their invitational quartet but she's here k-state running very well passing off with howard at the same time so it's howard then k-state [Music] this is listed as amina solly of kate of howard rather in that lead and then lavon stevenson for the wildcats hot on her heels clemson still in third you know these relays dwight have been so much fun we've seen sprint medleys we've seen four by twos they ran some four by eights and this is all about being able to jump on a relay team with some friends that you don't usually run with especially when you have two teams in this like texas and arkansas you just get some speed training in learn how to run on the 4x4 because you never know when your coach is going to come and say hey listen we need you to run a leg so just get it done get it done early here and also have some fun while you're doing it howard kansas state arkansas and clemson [Music] and howard extending their lead with that exchange and this is slated as jessica goodbye the senior from howard having the bison out front with the wildcats in tow and on our list that's alex ferguson for k-state about 15 meters back in a purple [Music] 35 meters tiffany pittman is on the anchor for howard they changed their order so sorry for the miss id k-state getting second that's a personal uh team best for howard they came in with a 333 71 time and they just ran 332 89 good for howard a good trip to the heat of south texas tiffany pittman on for howard on that anchor 52-2 that's huge for howard final pass in this race everyone's tired but watch the hand of howard going out perpendicular with her body is the lowest where you want it to be you want it to be high and you cannot take your eyes off of that runner but if it is in fact jessica goodbye of howard she ran one heck of a close and it wasn't it was pittman for howard 52 she ran on that and a big win it was not close all right we will step away for a moment but when we return it will be the invitational sections of the 4x400 relay [Music]
