Best Sprint Crews: Boys Week 3

Track is back and we’re here with more rounds of our Best Crew rankings. These started in 2022 with one version, then in 2023, I used this current method, which was much more efficient, easy to tabulate and calculate. What these aim to do is recognize which teams excel in their various event areas – whether that be jumps, throws, or sprints.

The explanation from 2023 is spot on, so click here if you want to read the recipe for how these are created.

Here are the figures that show the points for each mark:

BOYS TABLES

GIRLS TABLES

As there are no additional regional qualifying standards for relays (everyone gets to run theirs), I did a little math to find what the equivalent would be. For instance, the state qualifier for the D1 100m is 11.1 and the regional qualifier is 11.5, 3.6% slower. The state qualifying standard for the 4×1 is 43.5, and 45.06 (rounding up to 45.1 to be generous) is 3.6% slower. Here is a chart with an estimated regional qualifier for each relay:

Est. RQ	D1 Boys	D2 Boys	D3 Boys	D4 Boys
4×1	45.10	46.30	47.30	48.80
4×2	1:34.5	1:36.6	1:38.6	1:41.5
4×4	3:35.6	3:41.0	3:45.1	3:56.4
4×8	8:27.5	8:42.8	9:09.4	9:32.1
Est. RQ	D1 Girls	D2 Girls	D3 Girls	D4 Girls
4×1	52.50	54.20	55.50	57.50
4×2	1:52.8	1:54.8	1:57.6	2:04.4
4×4	4:20.0	4:31.1	4:39.4	4:51.8
4×8	10:20.5	10:50.9	11:26.1	11:51.4

These contain results uploaded to athletic.net by 7PM Saturday (4/13). Hopefully there will be enough UP meets in these next two weeks so that the folks north of the bridge can be covered as well.

If you’d like to delve more into how individual performances relate in a historical sense, please subscribe to Jeff Hollobaugh’s MichTrack Newsletter. Jeff always does an excellent job of recapping our athletes and their individual greatness, along with providing stories and thoughtful anecdotes. These rankings attempt to capture the here and now, but it’s tough for me to do this and shoutout to the great individual marks. So check out the newsletter and learn more about the superb athletes from our state.
