[Guest]

Chuck, Are you including a 4 X 400 meters in your search? I have the information at work and will reply Monday if no one else helps before then. My source is Craig Whitmore, Ohio's track & field historian.

Tell me something. Didn't that team have singer James Ingram on it????? I believe he ran 48.4 in High School (He's out of the Cleveland area). And I think his team won the Ohio State 4x4 title. Too bad track didn't pay during that time. Had he continued track, I guess we would have never heard the songs "Just Once" and "One Hundred Ways". Peace.

I liked " Somewhere Out There" the best.

[Guest]

Louis DeFreeze might have been the "Red Baron," but what was the name by which his far more famous brother Donald went?

[Guest]

Who the heck was Donald DeFreeze and event did he run? I don't remember that name at all.

[Guest]

I do believe this is the gentleman to whom you refer:

This is the Ohio high school 4x400-Meter Relay record
3:13.57 Cleveland John Adams (Paul Thomas, Melran Leach, Donald Taylor, Harold Madox) Columbus 1984

[Guest]

3:13.57 is faster than 3:16.5 and meters are longer than yards.

[Guest]

Sorry, 4x400 meters is not longer than 4x440 yards. A mile has always been longer then 1600 meters. But yes, John Adams 4x400 time is superior to Glenville's mile relay time using the standard conversion formula

[Guest]

SO WHAT IS THE ALL TIME OHIO HIGH SCHOOL MILE RELAY RECORD, AND THANKS FOR CLEARING UP THE METERS ARE LONGER THAN YARDS QUESTION,

[Guest]

1. buy T&FN's Big Green Book. The answer to this and all your other conversion questions can be found there.

2. 3:13.57 (4x400m) is a superior mark to 3:16.5 (4x440y/4x~402.5m).

3. If 3:16.5 for the MILE (4x440y/4x~402.5m) relay, not 4x400, then it is the "state record" for the MILE relay.

4. Ohio doesn't appear to recognize the MILE relay as an event. It recognizes the 1600 meter relay so there really is no Ohio MILE relay record.

5. If you're don't care or can't figure out what distinctions are being made here then refer to #2.
