The relay team of Jonathan Shawel (SENIOR -- Placentia, CA), Chris Giesting (FRESHMAN -- Batesville, IN), Randall Babb (SENIOR -- Wheaton, IL) and Jeremy Rae (JUNIOR -- Fort Erie, ONT) took first place last night in the DISTANCE MEDLEY RELAY at the NCAA INDOOR TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS!
- Jonathan Shawel ran the lead-off leg: 1,200 meters
- Chris Giesting ran the second leg: 1,600 meters
- Randall Babb ran the third leg: 800 meters
- Jeremy Rae ran the anchor leg: Mile
What I found amazing was the top four teams in the Championship Final -- after running that many laps -- all finished within ONE SECOND of each other. Had to be an exciting race!
