Two of the top seven 4x200 relays in the nation are slated to match up on Saturday. The Bullis girls held the US #1 ranking for a few weeks in December and their 1:40.53 effort at the Bishop Loughlin Games currently has them at #3 in the country. This Saturday we'll get to see how fast they can go on a flat track at the PG Sportsplex.
The Bullis girls will have their biggest matchup of the year to date in Virginia's Nansemond River. They clocked a season best of 1:42.85 at the Boo Williams Winter Break Invitational which puts them at #7 in the US. They won last year's SMAC Classic by nearly two seconds and will be looking to defend that title against one of the top sprint teams in the nation.
There are also ten other teams seeded below 1:50, including the MD #3 team Henry E. Lackey. They ran 1:45.04 on a banked track in New York last week, but also 1:45.18 in the Sportsplex at the Ed Bowie Classic.
