The 4x800m kicks off majority of the track meets that you will attend in Illinois. Over the last few years, we have seen some of the best performances we have ever seen at the State Meet in the 4x800m. A lot of talented has graduated from last year which will really change up the scene in this event. Here we use state splits and open times to decide the best 10 relays in each classification coming into the season.
