3x400IH

[Mozzer]

Do any other states run this? (I live in NJ)

I know Dyestat doesn't have this even ranked... but share some times for it if anybody here has run or runs this event

[skifree]

i also live in NJ and just ran it a few days ago. My team ran 3:01.x. I dont mind running it

[apocalypse]

We do it here in NY. I really want to try it. With the two guys who i have in mind to do it with me, i think my team would do pretty decent in it.

yeah, a ran it in new york last year. i'm petitioning for a collegiate 3x400h at penn relays(not really, but that'd be sweet. we could run a pretty sick time)

[Mozzer]

Yeah I really like the relay.. It's too bad you don't see more of it on the national scene.

[NJ5k]

Wow, I didn't know it was a New Jersey thing. It's in every relay meet around here.

[Mozzer]

I didn't think it was just a NJ thing, but it's not one of the relays ranked on Dyestat, so clearly it's not popular enough in all states to get any attention.

Do you mean you guys actually use a baton during a 300 hurdle race? We have a 4by 300lh but we just add up the times here in minnesota...???

[barton_hurdler]

This has got to be one of the worst relay ideas I have heard of!!! I will also say that the 400 IH that you(East Coast) guys run are stupid (33"). I have found that kids who run the 300 IH (36") transition better to the college hurdles, 400 IH (36").

[gazzelle5]

in new york, i always raced 36" 400h, where the hell do they do 33"?

[Fraek]

i don't know, but not in NJ... Barton, you were prolly looking at a differnt age group for some kind of non-high school race or something

[bladiblah]

yeah its done a few places in NY. its definatley awesome to run. my team ran 3:39 at Nanuet.(girls) but two of yus had bad days. on a good/great/consistant day ha wed have a low 3:3X ish time. i wish there were more places to run it

[Mozzer]

In NJ we run the same hurdle height as in college races

Who told you that we don't run 36" hurdles?

And for clarification the 3x400IH is not run with a baton, but with all 3 team mates going at the same time with 3 other members of a different team. The times are added up and that is the relay time. The major plus to that is that the time you run really isn't a relay split like an 800 on a DM or a 4x8, but a time that one can count as one's own PB in an open race.

[fastfemale7]

I had no idea that the high school 400IH's were only 33". That's ridiculous.

Fastfemale, what school do you run(hurdle) for? I run(hurdle) for Andover.





I run for Eden Prairie! I love it!!

[barton_hurdler]

I stand corrected I think that they might be 30"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not really sure, i just know that most of the time they aren't 36".

[skifree]

We run the 400ih here in NJ with 36 inch hurdles. Ive never heard of 33 inch intermediates.

[Fraek]

I stand corrected I think that they might be 30"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not really sure, i just know that most of the time they aren't 36".

Ohhh... your a girl. then yes they are 30" & guys are 36"
