Distance medley relay at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships

Last updated

The distance medley relay has been held at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships annually since 1967. Since 1997, the race consists of a 1200 meters leg followed by a 400 meters sprint, followed by an 800 meters leg and concluding with the 1600 meters anchor for a total distance of 4000 meters. Before 1997, the order of the legs was different, with the 800 m leg leading off and the 1200 m leg third. Before 1994, imperial analogues of the four legs were held instead, from 880 yards to 440 yards to 1320 yards to the mile run anchor.

The 400 metres, or 400-meter dash, is a sprint event in track and field competitions. It has been featured in the athletics programme at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1964 for women. On a standard outdoor running track, it is one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In many countries, athletes previously competed in the 440-yard dash (402.336 m)—which is a quarter of a mile and was referred to as the "quarter-mile"—instead of the 400 m (437.445 yards), though this distance is now obsolete.
