ECAC and IC4A 4×400s
April 26, 2008College Men’s 4×400 Championship
April 26, 2008Our final championship is the College Men’s 4×400. The entered teams are Auburn, Michigan, LSU, TCU, St. Augustine’s, Florida, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M.

College Women’s 4×400 Championship
April 26, 2008If LSU wins this race, they will break the Carnival record for most wins by a women’s college team in a single meet. The Tigers already have four victories: 4×100, shuttle hurdles, sprint medley and 4×800.
But first, the consolation final. Texas Christian had the lead most of the way, lost it to Auburn, then came [...]
High School Boys 4×400 Championship
April 26, 2008After the two Philadelphia Area heats, we have perhaps the acoustic climax of the meet, the always raucous High School Boys 4×400. Last year, as Long Beach Poly (CA) broke 3:10 while holding off St. Jago of Jamaica, the stadium literally started to shake. We have a number of excellent teams for the [...]

College Men’s 4×800 Championship
April 26, 2008The 4×800 is our first relay following the individual finals, and first of our final set of relay events.
Columbia is the defending champion, a sentence that has not been used since 1939 (it was quite an upset last year). The 4×800, as the last of the three “distance” relays, usually is very exciting especially [...]

Those two start to pull away from the field on the backstretch. Tarpey continues to lead at the bell in 3:04.4. Villanova alum Jason Jabaut [...]
