There's a reason why the girls 4x800 national record has remained almost untouchable for the past decade. 

In order to even approach Greenbelt Roosevelt (MD) High's top all-time prep effort of 8:43.12, teams from around the country will need to find four athletes with the ability to run somewhere in the range of 2:05, 2:10, and 2:15. 

Track has become a numbers game. Training has been refined and scrupled over the years, which has led to increased record-breaking and an ability for athletes to get faster at a younger age. But there's also a quality in relays that annually remains difficult to answer. How fast can you make your team as a group? How many runners can you count on, and which runners will you need to make up for?
