The Illinois high school track season has highlighted outstanding speed and teamwork in the relay events, and the Top 10 ranked girls 4×100-meter relay teams across Classes 1A through 3A represent the fastest and most polished squads in the state. Demanding precise exchanges, explosive acceleration, and composure under pressure, the short relay consistently produces some of the most exciting races of the season. From teams loaded with raw sprint talent to well-synchronized units built on chemistry and experience, each relay on this list has earned its ranking through consistent, high-level performances against elite competition. Together, they showcase the depth, precision, and excitement of girls sprint relays across Illinois high school track and field.
These rankings are made using PR's of athletes in the 100m sprint. The 4 times are added together to create this ranking. We also include factors such as multiple people returning from a state relay from last year.
