2:54 or faster. It’s the best team and the most “much watch” relay the US could have put together in the past 25 years.

Noah or Josephus, because Noah does not like the 400?

will lyles be on the 4x1? can't see him doing both relays. but i'd love to. everybody wants to see the fast 1/2 guys come up for a 1600 relay. It is the most exciting race in high school for this reason.
and there are a lot of guys who hate the 400 but buy into the 4x4. love the idea.

This is a world record in the making. Yes, Noah's brother, or someone else, could take his place.
No offense to Lyles put I think there are some better guys than him out there (400m runners).
While at Arizona State Henry Carr anchored a WR 4x4 team, yep, an NCAA WR team. But he did not run the Olympics trials in the 400m, he was a 200m cat (did run a few 400's), and did win the Olympic gold.
When it came time for the USA to run that 1964 Olympic 4x4 final, enter Henry Carr on anchor. He didn't disappoint cooking a smooth striding 44.6 split.
Flo Jo had a similiar situation, she was also just plugged in run a USA 4x4 anchor. She came up short.
While in HS Noah Lyles ran on the 4x4, but unrealistic to think he would run on both relays and he will anchor the 4x1. If he wasn't on the 4x1 I do think he can split a sub 45.00, which is all ya need on a team lie that one.
Yes, Benjamin needs to be there.
I'm sure lyles could but does he want to? The USA has a ton of other guys who could split under 45, even high schoolers lol. Norman should also be on the 4x100 with Colman, lyles, baker/Gatlin.

best username i've seen in a while
Totally disagree about Norman and the 4x1, he is not the short sprinter that any of out sub10.00 guys are.
The team should be....
Rodgers...Gatlin...CC...Lyles
If Gatlin can't go....
Rodgers....CC..(twek things producing that long second leg) Chris Belcher....Lyles.
How about some 100/200/others athletes who didn't run the 400, but.....the 4x4 relay.
With splits if I have one
Justin Gatlin 44.3
Larry Black 43.5
John Regis 43.8
Christian Coleman
Curtis Conway
Mike Marsh
Omar McLoud
Renaldo Nehemiah
Marcus Brunson
James Lofton 45.2
Roy Martin 43.5
Johnny Jones 44.9
Lyles would kill it. Probably a sub-44 split at the least, but could also surprise everyone including himself with something epic.
