CIF California State Meet 1986 Boys 4x400 Relay

[@goedgo]

CA State Meet is always packed. It's one of the best meets on earth!!

[@vhall2008]

I ran second leg for Galileo. The City represent!

[@badcoach2000]

This was California's golden period in track.

[@CIF-pm7tk]

ironically on a dirt track!

[@topnetworkersgroup]

big facts

[@iguillo]

@@CIF-pm7tk that is NOT a dirt track. LOL!

[@leonjordan6636]

anyone has footage of the 1984 cali state meet at the LA coliseum

[@topnetworkersgroup]

smh I"m somewhere in that shot at the end too lol, as a kid with pops; I remember these meets - great memories

[@Snyc2030]

I remember this race oh so well they clipped my friend from Berkeley High School on that last leg. We should have won this race.

[@fx2demm]

wow look at the stands..packed..it must of been awesome to run back when track was popular

[@ConcernedCitizen5514]

How fast did the third leg from Duarte run (the green and yellow jersey)? It looked like he took his team from 7th to 1st during his leg.

[@ConcernedCitizen5514]

It looked like he may have run 45 seconds.

[@CIF-pm7tk]

prolly 42 split! 🤣

[@iguillo]

I was at this state meet! I remember this relay well. That's Martin Cannady on the anchor for Duarte and Travis Hannah on the anchor for Hawthorne. I think Duarte would've won this had the baton not been knocked out of Cannady's hand.

[@CreativeStuffVideo]

iguillo Why does that stuff happen? I've seen it several time on the anchor of the 4x4, not during a handoff, the baton goes flying. Most of the time its by the steeplechase pit. We even call that area the Bermuda Triangle. Its inexplicable.

[@iguillo]

In this particular case, Travis Hannah unintentionally knocked the baton out of Cannady's hand.

[@CIF-pm7tk]

gotta grip that baton tight. so many guys are so smooth, but a slight elbow or bump and that thing is gone!

[@Snyc2030]

Actually Berkeley High would have won had our 3rd leg not been spiked. But, a great race nonetheless. Miss those days.

[@topnetworkersgroup]

smh, Duarte was SUPER Tough that year

[@reggiehampton2685]

Travis was still going to pass him.

[@raulsadventures5218]

hawthorne was the best in the 80s

[@Snyc2030]

After 1985 they were.
