Not surprisingly, our high school boys athlete of the meet for relays is Anthony Kestelac, the anchor of the national record setting boys 4×800. Kestelac ran a 1:49.3, which is 4th fastest all time.
For those trivia buffs out there, the national record in the 4×800 has been set at the Penn Relays before . . . . . but in 1921. 88 years ago, Cedar Rapids (IA) set the record with an 8:25.4, almost 50 seconds slower.
The Penn Relays are the largest annual track and field meet in the United States and the largest annual relay meet in the world. Over the course of three days, 19,000 athletes from all levels will race in front of 115,000 spectators. The 2010 Penn Relays will be from April 22-24.
