Now that the CIF has aded the 4X800 Relays as a State meet event and is being run more often including the league finals I needed to dig into the event.
I have had a top 10 list for the event in my Relay list section but now it is a major event and I felt it was time to do a deep dive into the event.
For the last 3 weeks I have spent my extra time combing through the results I have going back to the 1960’s to find whatever I could.
Here are my new Top 50 lists for both genders and the Evolution of Redwood Empire Records for both.
I’m sure I did not find everything so let me know about marks I am missing.
Hope you enjoy.
