In this relay meet, each school has four two person relay teams. One member of that teams runs a one mile loop, then exchanges with his/her partner, who runs the same loop. When they return, they tag the first runner and he/she runs the same loop again and then tags the 2nd runner to run one final mile loop. The team with the best combined time wins the meet.
