Best Answer

The 1600M relay also known as the 4 by 400M requires skill of the baton pass, as well as fast 400m times from all 4 athletes especially the anchor leg. I assume you all run fast 400M times, but if you don't run that fast, focus on increasing your maximal sprinting speed as well as running intervals to help run at a faster pace during each 400m leg. Passing the baton may seem to be an easy thing to do, but if it is done incorrectly, then you can loose some precious seconds. In practice you should practice baton handoffs so they will become easy in an actual race. Also, the first leg of the race should have your second to fastest 400M runner so he can get up in front. The second and third leg should have your faster runners, so they can help maintain the leed or even the top placing their at. The anchor leg should have your fastest runner so you all will have a chance to regain the leed and hopefully win if you were falling behind because of the second and third legs.

Good Luck!!!!!
