Penn Relays: Men's 4 X 400 Preview


The always exciting Men's 4 X 400 at Penn Relays will not disappoint this year. With an absolutely loaded field that includes powerhouses Texas A&M, LSU, St. Augustine's (the DII Power), Pittsburgh, Oregon, plus UTech from Jamaica, this will be quite the dogfight. 

Below we run down the best 400-meter runners from each school and provide a brief projection of the top teams.

Texas A&M LSU St. Augustine's
Deon Lendore (44.90)
Carlyle Roudette (45.77)
Deon Hickey (47.52)
Aldrich Bailey Jr.(45.19- Maybe)?
Bralon Taplin (45.36)
Greg Coleman (47.20)		 Vernon Norwood (45.39)
Darrell Bush (46.15)
Quincy Downing (45.87)
Cyril Grayson (47.00)		 Joshua Edmonds (46.71)
James Quarles (46.06)
Roxroy Cato (46.97)
Kevaughn Hewitt (47.42)
Burkheart Ellis (45.99)
Elhadji Mbow (47.84)


Pittsburgh Oregon
Brycen Spratling (45.46)
Micah Murray (46.75)
Charles Ross (47.56)
Carvin Nkanata (46.36)		 Mike Berry (44.75)
Marcus Chambers (46.55)
Jack Galpin (47.72)
Arthur Delaney (47.63)


UTech (Jamaica) North Carolina
Faedien Royes (46.37)
Jonia McDonald (46.47)
Rusheen McDonald (45.10)
Nicholas Watson (20.68 200m)
Julian Forte (47.18)
Adolphus Nevers (47.48)		 Ceo Ways (45.93)
Rilwan Alowonle (47.27)
Javonte Lipsey (47.18)
Kwame Donyinah (46.84)

After looking over the PRs of all of these loaded 4 X 400 teams, I really think that UTech and Texas A&M (if they are fully loaded with Bailey and such) could push each other under the 3:00 mark.

If Florida can do it, why can't those squads?

St. Augustine's DII squad is also very deep and to be honest I think Oregon with Mike Berry on the anchor are dangerous whenever he has the stick in his hands. 

BOLD PROJECTION: TWO TEAMS GO SUB-3:00
