I went to the Penn relays as a kid, and saw Jesse Owens make a quick speech and give the ceremonial baton to the athletes competing in the silver baton series of relays. Early 1970s. Still love this great Meet!
I always find the DMR silly because by the time it gets to the mile anchor, the initial 3 legs don’t matter. Everyone gets into a pack again anyway. Great finish though.
depends. In my conference, it was really only a 3 school fight by the time the anchors got the batons. At a national level, there's less speration of talent
Hey FloTrack. Do you have the video of the womens DMR??? I really wanna watch it and I can't find it anywhere? Strange that I can find the mens but can't find the womens. Help??
It's the distance medley relay, a kind of relay where each leg runs different amounts of laps. In order they are 1200,400,800,1600. This is different from the 4x4 or the 4x8 but it's still a very fun relay.
Can we stop glorifying Ole Miss for leading only 2 meters of the race. This is the type of stuff that makes these races boring because it incentives these guys to just sit and kick so they become slow and boring until the last 400m and that is not what a true 1600 should be.
@@BeFruitful7 Pre would be crying watching this, and I’d bet if they were running with him in the 70s he would. Same with guys like Stewart Mcsweyn who aren’t just gonna let people run paces that I can run for two laps then decide to pick it up. If you have the ability to run fast why would you give less?
@@landyncb8751 it is because they end up running a time that just isn’t impressive. He ran 3:59 and he is capable of so much more. I would rather watch a guy run 4:10 and go from the gun than watch him run a 3:59 with only a fast kick.
What an outstanding race. Penn never disappoints with excitement.
Especially the women's swimming team
Never
I wish they had distance relay like this at the outdoor champs.

That Wisconsin anchor did a good job. It is hard to take the baton in front and he didn't lose his head when they all passed.
THANK YOU for not giving away the result in the title!!!!! That was mega exciting!
For real!! That’s a first a first for flotrack
Giving a shout out to UConn! Nice to see a school not expected to contend be there at the finish!
Wes Porter anchoring is 🔥 Missouri represent

Magnificent relay! Eight teams off the final curve still in the running!
Lohr commentary unmatched.
What a finish!
Awesome race.
Hoddy Totty 🔥
Wow! What a race!
This race is the fucking best

Hotty Toddy....Get Some!
Great race
is there a video for the women's DMR?
I went to Binghamton…at least we got 10th(out of 10?)….lol
UUUUcoonnn, Go Huskies
Why isn't Hengst on the Ole Miss DMR squad? He was a stud in HS.
He hasn’t raced since XC
@@tylernugent3617 Oh, I see. Thanks.
🥶🥶🥶
I would have won the race but, my chain fell off.
I didn't understand this race, why aren't the distances even?
To be able to see which team has guys that have different strengths rather than only 400 runners and no milers. Or have only 800 guys and no 1600 guys

In the end as long as your other runners are decent it always just turns into a 1600m
There is also a sprint medley relay: 200m, 200m, 400m, 800m.
The tall one looks like a 3 dollar bill.

A sit and kick race is far from boring
lol why don't you go race them and show them how it's done

@Baum Squad Yea but he did a Centro and went to the front for the sole purpose of slowing it down not to actually run fast
