Under the direction of Head Coach Brian Glass, the 4 x 100 meter relay team went undefeated this season. At the Lakeside high track meet, the team turned in a very impressive time of 41.97 seconds. They continued to impress by consistently running sub-42 second races all season long.

Along the way, they became 5A Southeast Conference Champs with a time of 41.85, and 5A State Champs with a time of 41.79. Their final achievement was winning the Meet of Champs, where they laid down an amazing time of 41.58 seconds beating the best teams from every division in the state!
