Reuben McCoy, who was disappointed at the start of the day when his bid for the 400m hurdles ended with a crashed hurdle on the turn, got his watch at the end of the day by anchoring Winslow's win. Three American teams were ahead of Jamaican champion Wolmer's Boys, who finished 4th in 3:15.95.

4x100: Glenville Cleveland OH 41.11 (Camden NJ 41.32, Poly Long Beach CA 41.59)
Glenville streaks to victory from lane 9 as no one ever made up the stagger. Ted Ginn (2nd leg), who got redemption from a dropped baton last year, talked about the Cleveland schools financial troubles afterward. "They're trying to take the sports away from our schools, and I want to dedicate this to our schools, because its important to keep the sports in the schools." |
