No one saw Courtney Okolo coming.The announcers had already called the 4x400-meter relay for Lancaster High School at the 2012 Texas 4A state track championships. Fans had gotten to their feet to watch Lancasters anchor leg and Baylor track commit Taije Jordan cross the finish line untouched. And even without much of a zoom on the TV feed, all the viewers at home could see was Jordan and a lot of empty track.But even though no one saw it, Jordan knew it -- Okolo was coming for her. She had told her teammates before the race that for her to outkick Okolo shed need to get the baton with a 70-meter lead -- in a 400-meter race.But even with a 70-meter lead the question was often when, not if, Okolo would come calling.And with 50 meters to go, screams erupted from the press box.Oh, my goodness, oh my goodness.Jeez, Louise.Courtney Okolo, everybody.That is video-game fast, one analyst said. Thats cheat-code fast.No, thats just Okolo.She has the kind of late-race speed that seems unnatural. While every runners legs are being dragged down by lactic acid and the muscles around their rib cages are tightening, Okolo is picking up steam. Shes fine. She appears unfazed. And one by one, she walks down opponents, seemingly operating on a different plane.Her come-from-behind win in that high school race put the state of Texas on notice then. But she has the world on notice now.In April, Okolo became the first American female collegian to ever run a sub-50-second 400-meter dash. Not even U.S. record holder Sanya Richards-Ross clocked a sub-50 during her collegiate years.Okolo owns three of the worlds top 10 times run in 2016, with her 49.71 standing as the best among American women entering the U.S. Olympic team trials in Eugene, Oregon. She holds a one-second lead between herself and the fourth-best American runner in 2016. In a race thats often decided by a tenth of a second, a one-second lead is meteoric. Even in the 800-meter race, theres only a .21-second gap between the American leader and the fourth-best runner.Texas coach Tonja Buford-Bailey saw early that Okolo was the perfect blend of an elite middle-distance runner with top-level sprinter speed -- almost a unicorn in track and field. Its not easy to find a middle-distance runner with that kind of sprinters kick or a sprinter with high-level endurance, but when you discover both -- and both at an elite level -- in a single athlete, you get Okolo.Because of that, shes kind of in a league of her own, especially at the college level. So, to keep pushing her, Buford-Bailey would have Okolo train her endurance workouts (several 200- or 300-meter intervals with short recovery breaks between) with the mens team.She can train with the guys and beat some of them, Buford-Bailey said. You see that way before she ever runs a race -- she has a special gift.Those are the kind of workouts that Okolo enjoys because it reminds her of the 4x400-meter relay. In an open 400, the race plan is very internal. You run the race based on how youre feeling and you have an opportunity to maybe play off some other runners, but when one competitor is in Lane 3 and another is in Lane 8, it lacks of the drama and excitement of Okolo and a competitor racing shoulder to shoulder for the finish.She thrives off that kind of closeness with competitors during races and workouts.Its kind of like how an animal preys on another animal, Okolo said. It knows its weakness, so itll find the right moment to attack. ... You can kind of see, Nows the right time to make a move. Its the right opportunity. So, no one shouldve been surprised when, at this years NCAA track and field championships, Texas looked completely out of contention on the anchor leg of the 4x400-meter relay.Though much of the focus was on Floridas Taylor Sharpe and South Carolinas Precious Holmes, who had battled to lead for most of the race, both Sharpe and Holmes knew it was only a matter of time before they saw Okolo.Its very, very scary, Holmes said. Your whole team is counting on you to run away from one of the best people in the world in the 400. Just to know that shes coming -- its very frightening. I wont lie.Okolo is the best female 400-meter runner collegiate track has ever seen, a compilation of exact training, countless races and a genetic predisposition to excel at an impossible task.Ive watched hundreds of 400-meter races, Sharpe said. When I look at hers, theres just something different. Anyone who knows anything about track, or even just a little bit about track, theyll notice that about her.Shes the one moving in hyper speed. The one whose legs dont become cinder blocks as they fill with lactate. The one who somehow has a cheat code to one of the most painful races in all of track.But, its just how Okolo is and has always been.When she finished her high school state title race, winning the 4x400-meter championship for Newman Smith High, one of the analysts said from the booth, Amazing. ... That might be a girl we see again down the road.And in reality, thats how most of her competition feels about her, too. They know that no lead is safe with Okolo on the track. Shes a runner theyll see again down the road -- most likely on that final stretch when shes just warming up.Nick Foles Eagles Jersey .
