The 4x8 can be a little interesting, because as the last of the three longer relays athletes may be doubling and tripling. This leaves the door open for a team stacking their 4x800. I find it hard to believe that FSU will approach the absolutely sick record of 7:11 by Penn State unless they are not running the DMR and the 4xMile. To the original poster, I don't know what your seed was but you probably won't even be in the Championship heat. 7:30's do win the 2nd heat.
will oral roberts be putting together a 4x8??

They ought to. They were the class of last year's race. Plus, they have a great runner named Prince Mumba. How do you run against royalty? That's not fair. Its like trying to pass the Prince of Wales on the turn. You just don't do that. [quote]ORU wrote:
4x800 – Oral Roberts returns the four runners who won it a year ago: Adrian Foster (1:50) and Shaun Smith (1:46) of Jamaica, James Wanjiku (1:52) of Kenya and Prince Mumba (1:46) of Zambia. Villanova, second to ORU by three tenths, also returns its squad, of Dan and Sean Tully, Mark Korich and Eckman.
The Villanova Wildcats’ last win in the event was in 1992.
Other teams to watch in this wide-open event include LSU, Mississippi State, Seton Hall, Tennessee, Cornell, Penn, Georgetown, Columbia and Michigan. Georgetown has won this race four times in the last 10 years. Seton Hall won it in 2000 which was the Pirates’ sole win at the Relays since 1986.
