Well, I love the medleys, and, in a sense, I couldn't care less whether you
do; but I do know that my HS team didn't have 4 half milers for a 4X880;
nor did it have 4 milers. Come to think of it, we didn't even have 4
quarter men, because I (a miler) had to run the mile relay. But we fielded
a sprint medley team that set a record at the Queen City Relays in
Charlotte, NC that stood for 15 years or thereabouts. Maybe that's why I
love medleys.
