US teams won 7 of 8 relays this year, at least interrupting many years
of success by foreign teams, mostly from Jamaica, which brings thousands
of foot stomping, flag waving fans to Franklin Field every year.
Here is the background
of the US-Caribbean rivalry at Penn Relays:
BOYS |
GIRLS |
4x100 - Teams from Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago
had won 20 of the last 24 years, including the last three. 4x400
- Jamaica had won 12 of the last 18 years, but the US is improving
now with wins in 5 of the last 8 years by Poly, Camden NJ, Northwestern
MD, and Muir Pasadena CA (twice). 4x800 - US
had won only 3 times in 17 years, but has now won four of the last
7 (Poly this year, South Lakes VA, Boys & Girls NY, and West Springfield
VA). DMR - Ireland, not Jamaica, is the US'
recent nemesis in this event, with Irish teams winning 5 straight
years through 2000. But the US has now won three in a row with Northport
NY this year, North Penn PA last year, and South Lakes VA in 2001. |
4x100 - Jamaica had won 21 of the past 22 years,
with Poly Long Beach CA's win in 1995 the only interruption until
this year.
4x400 - Jamaica had won 14 of the past 18 years,
including the last three. US is now improving with victories in
5 of the last 9 years (Poly this year plus 1997 and 1995, Willingboro
NJ in 1999 and William Penn PA in 1996).
4x800 - Jamaica had won 16 straight years until
Boys & Girls NY won last year in a US record 8:50.41. Edwin
Allen resumed Jamaica's dominance this year.
DMR - This event was added to the Relays in 1990,
and Hayes of Jamaica won the first 6 times, but the US has now won
8 years in a row, including San Lorenzo Valley CA's US record 11:41.28
in 2000. |
