Chaparral enjoys something of a history of being out in front of the 5A boys 4x800. Photo by Alan Versaw.
Editor's Note: Here in the Colorado track and field community, we've learned to be thankful for the amateur historians among us. Without them, so much interesting information would be lost. What follows is but one example of that. Jeff Bliven has shared with us the information he has compiled about the 5A boys 4x800. If others of you out there have similar compilations you would like to share, please send them my way. I'll see to it they get shared here for all to see.
