In all Adeleke raced five times in four different relay events, and Texas won them all
Just 90 minutes earlier, the 4x200m quartet of Alfred, Adeleke, Lanae-Tava Thomas and Kevona Davis ran a time of 1:28.05, improving the previous collegiate record set by Oregon in 2017, 1:28.78.
Rhasidat’s 49.2 split improved her 49.4 from the European Championships in Munich last August, despite it being her third race on Saturday: “Yeah, I did feel some fatigue, but I feel that drive for the team just helped push me down the track, kind of game me that element of atmosphere not to get too fatigued,” she added, the 17,000 in attendance on Saturday certainly all behind her.
Coach Floréal, better known as Coach Flo and a two-time Olympian, ranked it as his finest moment in his coaching career. “And it was more of a guarded split,” Flo said of Adeleke’s split. “Because she was looking at the screen, to see where the girl was, as opposed to running her race. But she broke her spirit, in the first 250m, by going out so hard, in 22.2. At that rate it’s over.
