A Hyattsville native gained national attention this week when a video of her astonishing performance in a relay race went viral.

Now a freshman at the University of Michigan, Ziyah Holman was the last runner — or anchor leg— in a 4×400 relay race at the Simmons-Harvey Invitational in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last Saturday, Jan. 16.

When she was handed the baton, she was already four seconds behind.

But as a short clip of her performance shows, Holman took off, gaining ground on one after another of her competitors, crossing the finish line in a dramatic comeback, winning the race for her team with a 51.79 split.

A video posted on Twitter has been viewed 3.9 million times and shared by everyone from SportsCenter to tennis legend Billie Jean King, while a video posted on Reddit was upvoted 70,000 times. Local and national news sites around the country shared the video on Facebook.

Holman, whose mother has lived in various places around the Route 1 corridor and works at a charter school in D.C., graduated from Georgetown Day, where she was known for coming from behind as the anchor leg in high school sports.

“I always used to get the baton last and finish first,” she told the Washington Post. “It’s just a mental thing that I’ve always had.”
