Class Relay:This relay will consist of one freshman girl, one sophomore boy, one junior girl, and one senior boy. One girl will run a 200 and the other girls will run a 600. One boy will run a 400 and the other boy will run an 800. A plaque will be awarded to each member of the winning team. We hope to make this a special event, that over the years, each team can look forward at attempting to win and/or break the previous record. We will keep this format the same for each year. To clarify any questions: the sophomore boy may run either the 400 or 800; the junior girl may run the 200 or 600. We realize that in some years, you may not be able to put together a relay to fill this race. Some teams may only be bringing one team (boys or girls). Therefore, the event points for this relay will be cut in half (i.e, 5-4-3-2-1). These points will be scored in both the boys and girls team scores.
