Southern California has won two women’s track and field outdoor championships in the last five seasons (not counting the COVID-19 canceled 2020 season). That’s the most of any program in the NCAA over that span. The 2021 and 2018 titles added to a storied Trojan history, filled with decades of great athletes. With so much success, we created an all-time relay team of USC women’s track and field greats.
Three relays are currently held at NCAA Championships — the 4×100 meter relay, the 4×400 meter relay and the Distance Medley Relay. But which one fits USC for an all-time team the best?
USC has never won a DMR and has won four 4×4 titles to three 4×1 titles. With just one title separating the 4×4 and 4×1, it’s a close call for which relay to pick. However, the versatility of Kendall Ellis (more on her lately) combined with the more recent 4×1 title wins in 2021 and 2019 makes the 4×100 meter relay the pick for the Trojans.
That said, let’s get into the all-time team.
