The Women’s 400m final at the 2008 USATF Indoor Championships featured a remarkable individual effort by unattached athlete Shareese Woods who took the title out of the second heat.

Moushaumi Robinson won a very close first heat, but she came up just short of Woods. Woods ran a scorching 52.03 to win her heat by 1.34s and the overall title by 0.3s over Moushami Robinson. Mary Wineberg (who had the fastest time in the preliminary round) was third in 52.36.
