Talk about girl power!!!
The NCAA Track & Field Championships are going on this week out in Eugene, Oregon, and men and women from college programs all over America have descended on the city in a bid to win national championships in a variety of outdoor track and field events.
And one team in particular -- the USC Trojans women's track team, to be exact -- refused to be denied as they sought a national championship in the 4x400 meter relay.
Their relay got off to a slow start, and got progressively worse by the time the baton was passed to anchorwoman Kendall Ellis for the final leg of the race. Ellis herself even flubbed the handling of the baton, pushing the Trojans even further behind the pack as the final lap wore on.
But then something incredible happened. Ch-ch-check out the awe-inspiring moment (below)!!!
The @usc_track_field Women of Troy had to win the 4x400m to win the national championship.

Unreal!!!
Such an adrenaline rush for us -- and all we did was sit and watch the video! Ha!!
Can't imagine how pumped Ellis must have been after she caught her breath -- talk about hustling right down to the final second to win a national championship!!!
Good for USC... that was cool!
