Finals.
The women's 400 is underway and Tokyo Olympian Quinera Hayes
is on the inside in one.
Never has the 400 been this open at the Olympic
trials.
There are four women that could potentially win this race
and Kaylin Kaylin Brown has the point strong.
So Brown looks the best at halfway, but Shamir Little
is certainly there.
And I think the most dangerous person right here is
Lena Irby Jackson.
But the Collegians very much holding their own.
Aliyah Butler is doing well in black and look at
Kendall Ellis.
They're both in really good position.
Ellis Brown, Aliyah Butler.
Look at Aliyah Butler, center of the track and Kendall
Ellis is surgeon.
Kendall Ellis is responding and wins and has to feel
good for the Southern Cal star because she started her
pro career making every team until she wasn't.
4946.
Aaliyah Butler up for 2nd and Alexis Holmes, who did
not look particularly good in round one or the semi
final, found it and got it right.
Sonya in the final, Yeah, she had a great indoor
season so I was surprised that she wasn't running better
through the rounds, but she showed up when it mattered
most.
Let's take a look at that finish again.
There is Kendall Ellis and you see Alexis Holmes there
on the inside.
She came from way back to leave Kaylin Brown off
this team who I thought Kaylin was in the best
position at 200 meters after a semi final run.
I thought that she would be hard to beat while
she left her best race in the semi because Kendall
Ellis and Leah Butler and Alexis Holmes all under 50
seconds to make a very, very strong US 400 meter
team.
Kendall Ellis says, I've been gone for a little bit
and I've missed the Kendall that I know I'm back.
And now she's a national champion and she is headed
to Paris.
Well, Alexa, Carrie Richardson, she's not back.
She's better.
What a run from Aaliyah Butler that finished from Alexis
Holmes.
Well done.
Kaylin Brown, she was in the mix too.
But Kendall Ellis, Aliyah Butler and Alexis Holmes?
They're headed to Paris.
