They could medal at damn near if not all world class championships race EVER.

The Texas team no; this time run by a country , yes. These women represent 4 different countries Abba only American. All 4 women on the relay have to be from same country or kingdom to run in Olympics.

Whats also crazy is they would have only tied for 6th at the Texas High School State Championship this season... Wait til those boys decide to compete as women.!!

@@dajosco115 Exactly. Our tax dollars are going to subsidize foreign athletes so they can beat our own athletes here at home and abroad in international competitions. It's a no win situation.

@@Jay-ku3ur Most boys don't want to give up their gonads just to beat a bunch of foreign women. And these "winners" should be tested for their testosterone levels. They may be like Castor Semenya and the Botswana duo who have internal testes like male birds do. Once this is determined they will be stripped of these records.

​@@blackout07blue...huh?

It IS crazy to permit this to happen. No more foreign students in our NATIONAL collegiate tournament. At the very least, the points they get should be subtracted from their team's totals.

This is not the first year to have international athletes on track teams. Most track teams field international athletes. Now it’s a problem because your team didn’t win? Stop the hating.

@@vernonfrance2974you sound stupid 🙄

She looks so graceful and beautifully fast

@zaireyoung8137 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't try to force others to accept my standards of beauty.

Nah not really coz it’s a staggered start

If you think they are all natural you are being deceived. Besides, what are our Native Born Black Queens, chopped liver?

At all!!

@wishkaye @wishkaye They are recruiting/importing members of Nigeria's national team, the St. Lucia's national team, Ireland's national team and who knows what else. I guess USA's talented track stars need not apply.

That's fine but just give us some closed captions as they do with Irish, Scottish, Australian, Cockney and English speakers from New Zealand.

She's recovering from a Hamstring injury. Sometimes Hamstrings take a year or more to properly heal

@@johnsteen74 Ah. Thanks for the update. Had one of those once. took more than two years to heal.

I don't think the Red Raiders men intentionally messed up.

@@vernonfrance2974 They filed a official protest after that race and there was some ppl that provided evidence that they were robbed.

@@dwightlove3704 I have yet to see such evidence and evidence is not evidence if it is not in evidence.

Instead of recruiting US citizens they got foreign nationals. It won the title for them but kept US women from having their chance at success and probably even scholarship assistance. Here is what Ms. Ezinne said: “My parents were born in Nigeria, I got a lot of ties with Nigeria. So I knew it would be nice to Rep Nigeria . . . That’s why I wanted to compete for homeland.” However, Nigerian authorities were not so pleased with Ms. Ezinne. This is what they said: July 13, 2022 Reading Time: "The Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) has reacted to the outburst of one of its athletes, Ezinne Abba, who made damning accusations about her exclusion from Team Nigeria to the World Championships starting Friday in Oregon, United States. PREMIUM TIMES reported Ms Abba’s frustration as the 21-year-old alleged she was only told of her exclusion from the World Championships 40 minutes before her flight to Oregon. According to the University of California, Berkeley graduate, the AFN and the minister were culpable for her shattered dream of representing Nigeria on the global stage after only just completing the switch of her allegiance from the United States to Nigeria. "The AFN Secretary General, Adisa Adeniyi Beyioku, said Abba should know she cannot force herself into the team after failing to compete in any individual event at the Nigerian Championships in Benin City last month."

Red Raiders slowest guy had the baton the longest so the DQ wasn't due to an illegal advantage.... They would've won even better if they got it right.

Right

she was in it a couple of times this year. they ran faster with rashidat. her long stride is more effective on the curve.

@@jjaylanni I thought shorter strides were more effective on the curve. Maybe I was wrong.

@@vernonfrance2974 longer strides are more effective in general so she’s gonna cover ground whether on the curve or the straight. and with rashidat running a low 49 in the 400 I believe she could run a faster 200 than lanae which is why they opted to go with her on the curve.

@ybolarinwa88 They are NOT Texans. They represent Ireland, Nigeria, and the St. Lucia in international competition. How does that make TRUE TEXANS feel?

@@jjaylanni The good thing is that they won't be a team in international competition and that will mean the USA relay quartet will leave them in the dust when it comes to the World Championships. Surprisingly Jamaica lost to the USA last year but they also have a good chance of winning this year.

She runs flat footed however as a team they move the baton.

It's to ensure the baton stays in the middle of the lane when being exchanged. Plus, it just feels right, I don't know how to explain it if you've never ran one.

Shut up

You love how it is "fully international." Do you realize how this importation of foreign athletes impacts our own young talent from the USA?

Ezinne Abba was born & raised in the USA.

​@@vernonfrance2974Did you noticed how well the Frosh athletes performed this season?

@@vernonfrance2974 I think the level of interest in T&F may be a factor as well.

Such an ignorant comment. They are out of breath or did you miss that as well.

they are foreign... going to texas..

@@bigfellamike1913 Yes. TT would rather bring in talent from outside and deny US girls the opportunity - all to then brag about their Texas girls. What a farce!

@thefitmacgyver9447 @thefitmacgyver9447 They are recruiting/importing members of Nigeria's national team, the St. Lucia national team, Ireland's national team and who knows what else.

@@vernonfrance2974 as do all other major universities. If the other schools could’ve gotten them to their school they would have.

@@vernonfrance2974you do know other nationalities go to school here in the states? And every sport in the NCAA has foreign athletes sorry to burst your small mind 😊

@donovanrobinson1843 It is not as simple as accusing me of having a small mind because I am the one thinking beyond the box. @@donovanrobinson1843Do you see any US citizens competing for other countries' national championships unless they have dual citizenship? Track and Field is more of an individual sport than most therefore it is most vulnerable to foreign incursions and dominance such as the @donovanrobinson1843 Texas relay team having no US citizens representing Texas. I am actually an internationalist minded person but when we have our National T & F championships we should have our nation's citizen students competing. We have needy students here being deprived of financial and competitive opportunities that should be theirs. How many times did Julian Alfred run for example? That is the number of times our US women did not get to compete. Furthermore, how else to you think we can get more of OUR needy talent developed? In the USA we have areas where those growing up there are just as deprived as in other countries. This would be one means of helping to overcome that disadvantage they encounter. @donovanrobinson1843 At least we should change the name to something else if it is not going to be National. And we should subtract any points won by foreign nationals from the team totals. Next you'll want our Olympic Team to be based on international tryouts.

If she has "duck feet" as you say she would be advised to take up swimming instead.

no that’s webbed feet. duck feet means they point unusually outward instead of more straight. they’re images supporting my statememt online.

Two of them are Nigerian and one of them is from Saint Lucia. 😂🤡🤡

Ezinne Abba was born & raised in the USA you incredibly fragile snowflake and has been eligible to compete for Team USA since Nov '22 after changing her mind from representing Nigeria. Not any of their fault if an 11.06/22.38 Lanae Thomas wasn't quick enough or worked well within the order of the team!

So it's ok to have international students, but not ok to have international student Athletes?

And nobody but born and bred Texans / Americans should attend and compete for the College?

American 'talent' refuses to participate at top levels. And that's OK with you?!! THAT is the true effrontery.

the coach is canadian. that explains a lot
