I believe the Track relay is the most exciting sport in sports. Mostly the 4 by 400 but any kind of track relay is exciting. There is nothing better than an exciting 4 by 400 relay. Ive seen many in my time. The US on the International has the best team traditional. They hold the ecord at 2:54 and many times close to that. That eam included then World record holder Butch Reynolds, and Ucla alums Steve Lewis and Danny Everett.
Michael Johnson the world rcord holder in the 400 meters anchored many relays while at Baylor in college and anchored the US teram in two Olympics. The current US 4 by 400 relay team led by Jeremy Waringer, David Neville, Angelo Taylor and La Shawn Merrick ran a 2.55.3 at the Olympics.
Other exciting relays are the 4 by 100 relay, the 4 by 200, the sprint medley relay which includes an 800 meters, 400 meters and 2 200's. Also exciting are the Distance medley and the 6400 meter relay.
I look forward to one day see a Distance medley or 6400 meter relay between the countries of Great Britain, Kenya, Ethiopia, and USA it will be exciting.
What your most exciting relay rememberences?
