    I'm into history which finds me into weird fantasy meetings, yep....geek.

    So who would represent the USA what legs?

    Talking....

    Christian Coleman, Trayvon Bromell, Noah Lyles, Bob Hayes, Carl Lewis, Mo Greene, Tyson Gay, Tommie Smith, Fred Kerley, Justin Gatlin, Leroy Burrell.

    When I think third leg it's.....Tyson Gay, Yohan Blake, Dennis Mitchell, Calvin Smith, Shawn Crawford, Bruny Surin, all these cats having a leg best suited for them. Hayes has gotta anchor, Tommie Smith has gotta anchor, ya lead off with Andre Cason, all those hurdlers like Hayes Jones.

    Keep in the mind the 4x1 is not the 100m, more to this than just tossing four fast guys out there, just ask Japan and China who do a lot with little. Anyone buy into that long second leg thing? Ato Boldon was there in his UCLA days it was funny to watch. Slim Frency on that second leg for France, DeGrasse for Canada, Leroy Burrell SMTC.

    So give me the best USA 4x1 team to fill this lane

    lane

    1,Nigeria

    2,Canada

    3,Trinidad

    4,USA

    5,Jamaica

    6.France

    7.Raiders

    8.Great Britian

    What could have been in 1936

    Jesse Owens....Eulace Peacock...Mack Robinson(older bro of Jackie) Ralph Metcalfe

    What could have been in 1956

    Jim Golliday....Dave Sime....Thane Baker....Bobby Morrow

    How about 68

    Charlie Greene...John Carlos..Jimmy Hines...Tommie Smith

    A healthy Leroy Burrell and we beat Canada in that 4x1 in 96. Gleroy Gilbert destroyed Tim Harden race over.

    It will take somebody who made our Olympic team unless it's 1932, There we had a team just there to run the 4x1, yep won the gold. That Tennessee ladies 4x1 team is who we ran in 1960.

    Deno,

    Please allow me to spin this thread a bit. Four* men born in Alabama have held the 100m WR. I’ll add a couple other from the state to round out the pool.

    :10.30 Eulace Peacock* (1934)

    :10.20 Jesse Owens* (1936)

    :9.90 Harvey Glance* (1976)

    :9.86 Carl Lewis* (1991)

    Trey Cunningham (‘22 Bowerman Award)

    Emmit King (US relay pool ‘84 & ‘88)
