Who was all on this relay team? And what were their splits?
I know one of them is Scott strands son.
scott ran at auburn in the 90s and had a good road running career around the south regional races. Works at the Trak Shak in Birmingham. Wife Lorie, was also a solid runner.

Yeah, Henry Strand is their #1
Not to mention this is the same high school who produced Ethan Strand--now a 3:55 miler as a sophomore at UNC.
Alex Leath is their #1. 1:48.x in the 800 at New Balance indoor.
And it is Vestavia (not Vastavia) Hills, if it matters.
They also have soph Mitchell Schaaf who ran a 1:56
They also have a junior Max Armstrong who ran a 1:51.
Also David Howard who ran a 1:58, not sure if he was in that relay
yes..this team could threaten LBP's 7:28? record... hope they can get to NON... there will be competition!
They won the XC state meet last fall in a tiebreaker.
They also return a very solid crew.
They return these 5k times-
Strand - 11 - 15:28
Schaaf - 10 - 15:52
Holt - 10 - 16:05
Mize - 9 - 16:08
Hayes - 9 - 16:28
Meadows - 9 - 16:34
They also return:
Armstrong - 11 - 1:51 / 4:19 mile. He should be up there with the Vestavia Hills top guys.
Howard - 11 - 1:58 / 4:36 mile. He ran a few xc races last year. Maybe he will improve by a lot
I'm pretty sure their 7:38 is the fastest in the country this year. It will be interesting to see what they do at the Alabama state meet next week.
