NBON Relay Result

impressive!

They both anchored? Are they not on the same team?

What's with the 3-turn stagger in the 4x2? What a cluster on the last exchange.

Is that not the norm? They changed it to a 3-turn stagger here several years ago, I thought it was a national change.

I've never seen it before outdoors. In fact, I've never been anywhere that ran that except indoors on a 200m track. It's always a 4-turn stagger.

A 4-turn stagger? So kids stay in their lanes the whole way? I wish it was like that here. 3 turn staggers get pretty messy.

I can't see any reason not to run the entire race in lanes and can see no reason to break on the 3rd runner except for people who like to watch roller derby and NASCAR. What are the odds that any of the teams in the EE heats practiced the 3rd exchange with no acceleration zone or the last exchange as a 4x4 handoff at 200 speed? I'd say nil.

Swedish relay is kind of a cool concept. This is the only meet where I've ever seen it. 51 is screaming.

100-200-300-400

Judging by the OP, they must be from New Jersey or are going to Villanova or both.

Very clever King of the netherworld , I was from NJ, and neither is going to Villanova, Taylor is going to UM, Sydney was a soph in HS this past year.

With a 3-turn stagger, where do they make the first exchange? I've never seen a track marked with a 2-turn stagger at the 200 mark.
