Were any of our big guns missing? I mean our 4 x 100 mens team was Mike Rodgers, Justin Gatlin, Isiah Younga and Noah Lyles.
And can we all admit it's stupid as hell to run the men's 4 x 400, women's 4 x 400 and mixed gender 4 x 400 back to back to back? At least at the Olympics they are scheduling it so the big stars can run both.
In the men's 4x 400, the US was run down on the anchor, but then DQd. What was the DQ for?
And why wouldn't we anchor Fred Kerley? The best guy needs to anchor. Period.
