FloTrack's Best Kicks of 2016: Courtney Okolo's NCAA 4x400m Victory
Courtney Okolo's insane kick at the end of the NCAA 4x400m relay will go down as one of the best kicks of 2016.
Courtney Okolo won four national titles in 2016, but the Texas senior had to throw down a nasty kick to get it done in the NCAA outdoor 4x400m finals in Eugene, Oregon, in June.
The 2016 Bowerman Award winner, 400m collegiate record-holder, and eventual Olympic 4x400m gold medalist split 50.45 to defeat Arkansas' Taylor Ellis-Watson and lead the Longhorns past the Razorbacks 3:27.64 to 3:27.94.
Okolo got the baton in third place behind Florida and South Carolina. The Texas sprinter closed in during the final 100m, moved into lane three, and secured the victory for the Longhorns.
