Eugene WC’22 4x1 Relays summary:

Initial report: Not a single dropped baton

Women: No DQ’s, No DNF’s ( Great 2 team...

Since I have posted here ((2009) you and others here have doubted every word I have said on the topic of the 4x1.
So your doubting now is meaningless...

one I have handy…

[DJG]

Somehow I do not believe that a collegiate coach, like yourself who has coached men and women track athletes,
would ever tell his 4x1 relay after...

ROFLAO….and what is this vast difference of time the baton is in the zone that makes the men’s task that much
more difficult than the women’s….pray...

”at the exchange” is the critical part, SC.

An elite woman sprinter at 20 meters is running FASTER than an elite male sprinter at 10...

[DJG]

Davis, Barnes, Clark, Thomas must have been the scout team....

[DJG]

US algebra students know it very well....

[DJG]

LA ‘28 will be here before you know it!...

[DJG]

No, Team USA likes it quiet out there…..Silence is their method….and the result is too often madness!

”stick” is relay 101👍👏✌️...

[DJG]

Brilliant prediction! You pessimist!...

[DJG]

That is one prescription for a cure. How about using a verbal command to start the exchange process when the passer knows he is in position to make the...

[DJG]

A few Hundredths of a second now counts as “ ass-kicking”? You are better than that BB!...

[DJG]

I doubt very much any team would rush their handoffs with the possible exception at exch 3 where some anchor might
get happy feet when the adjacent...
