DMR Dream Teams: Girls Top 50


The O'Keeffe sisters from Davis HS, Maddy Denner (l), Mariah Castillo (c) and Destiny Collins (r) all easily slot on their school's all-time DMR dream team. (Credits: James Leash/Scott Padgett/Pat Rhames)
--
Which teams could put together the best all-star distance medley relay teams?

The legs could be any four runners who competed for the school at any point in history, without repeating any of the legs.

Teams were balanced for the fastest possible net time. For each team, we used each runner's personal bests in the 400m/440y, 800m/880y and 1600m/mile, while choosing another runner for the 1200m leg and estimating their time based on their 1600m. In all cases, the top miler went on the anchor leg, with the next best on leadoff. 

For adjusting 1200m legs, we used this tool, with minor adjustments.

Needless to say, as especially for those of you that know me .... this was heaven in regards to delving back into the history books, researching the top programs and top names on the California prep scene.  You will notice that several 'kids' from 1950's and 1960's are included on this exclusive list! 

In quarantine mode and 'forced' to look up Track & Field results over the past 60+ years --- sign me up!

This is just the beginning as we are developing Dream Teams galore here, with our Dream Team 4x800's and 4x1600's, and yep - 4x3200's are currently in the works!

With that, please send us a message if you have corrections and if we missed someone. Email us at jeffrey.parenti@flosports.tv, and we'll do the math to see if you jump in!
