We have been on the cusp over the last few years of a team finally dipping under the 9:00 barrier once again and that will be a major topic of discussion once again this year. Many All-State relays return a good amount of their relay from last year. Lets use state meet splits and open times to figure out who the top 10 relays are heading into the season.
