and the preparation of that team. It is a recurring theme with how bad
the US men’s track team is with running relays, and it just continues
to get worse with no indication that it is going to improve.

Running relays is more that just running fast, or having the fastest
runners on the track. There is a skill to it, and that skill is based
on discipline, preparation, and working collectively as a team
to see the race through with out any errors from start to finish.

Even the US women have regressed with running relays properly, and have
looked out of sorts in some of their races, so it’s not just a men’s problem.

The US men and women need to get back to the fundamentals, because
not only is Jamaica far superior in sprinting, but other countries have made
giant strides to surpass us as well.
