Another update from Larry Byrne on the upcoming Penn Relays:

Hi all

The Penn Relays Office announced this morning the HS teams that have been selected for the Boys and Girls 4x800m [sections] and the "one-race" championship DMR relay.

Among the 15 teams selected for the prestigious HS Girls Distance Medley Relay to be held at 6:20 p.m. on Thursday, April 26th is our own LA SALLE ACADEMY of Providence, as the complete listing below indicates...

A Bay Shore / NY (#1 2007 US Indoor Ranking)
B Southern Regional / NJ (#3)
C Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake / NY (#4)
D La Salle Academy / RI (#5)
E Carmel / NY (#7)
F Ramapo / NJ (currently ranked #4 in this '07 Outdoor Season)
G Roxbury / NJ
H Holy Names / NY
I Vere Technical / JA
J Walt Whitman / MD
K Pearl River / NY
L Manchester / JA
M Henderson / PA
N Radnor / PA
O Archbishop Prendergast / PA

Since Penn prohibits any HS from competing in both 4x800m and DMR, teams that are highly ranked in both, have to declare their choice before the races are selected. In this regard, Eleanor Roosevelt, Greenbelt, MD [#2 Indoor DMR] and Colts Neck, NJ [#6 Indoor DMR] opted for the 4x800m, while the #1 Indoor 4x800m team ... Carmel of New York choose to compete in the DMR Otherwise the top-ranked teams remained with the relay events in which they are stronger.

The two other HS relay events on the Penn program...4x100m and 4x400m...are open to all who enter same. However, who's running in what heat or section should be announced in another few days, and when they're selected, we'll pass that data along.
