are you kidding me, the 4×4 is the glamour event in High School track. I considered myself lucky to be on the team. The last event of the meet, everybody’s watching, it’s pure adrenaline. I could always push harder in the 4×4 than in the open. i would drop like 50s but could only do like 53 open. I would seriously sprint the entire thing. Some people say its not possible but I did it. (I can only run like a high 23 200) I would hand off and collapse in the infield. I always wish i could have anchored so I could get carried off the field. But instead I had to try to stand up and watch the race.
