The Good Counsel boys were one of just five teams on the list who "ran" under 3:25, thanks in large part to Sean Sutton on the 400 leg. A 2011 graduate, Sutton ran his 47.63 personal best indoors as a senior at the UK High School Invitational and also won the championship 400 at New Balance Indoor Nationals. (Photo by Don Rich)
We continue our project, which started out with the distance medley relays, with the sprint medley relay - specifically, 200-200-400-800. The legs could be any four runners who competed for the school over the past decade. For each team, we used each runner's personal bests in the 200, 400 and 800.
We tried to put together the fastest possible group for each team based on existing personal bests. When applicable we will also point out if there may have been a runner who could have run faster (for instance, if a team had a standout indoor runner who ran 42.50 in the 300 but never ran a 400, we can't put her on the 400 leg, even if she would likely be the fastest).
We ranked every team that could put together a sub-3:33 squad - and plenty of teams just missed by seconds, or even less! We list the top ten teams here and also provide a read-only link to the Google spreadsheet that lists all 88 teams that met the standard (the list can be found on the third sheet, while the DMR teams are on the first two sheets).
