Nice to see the women's world record held by actual women again!

Not to highjack the thread, but did anybody notice that the runner who broke his leg while helping the U.S. win a gold medal in the 4x400 relay yesterday -- Manteo Mitchell of Shelby -- is a Western Carolina alumnus?

US Mens only won silver. That was a preliminary that he broke his leg in. US lost to Bahamas in the last 20ish meters after leading for over a lap.

Thanks, Daze. I should have read that story more carefully.

Well you aren't out until you have 3 strikes. Very good effort to keep his team in the race.
