4x400 Glory?
by LaShawn Merritt

On Saturday night, LaShawn and the rest of the 4x400 meter relay team will try to get the United States its only relay gold of the Beijing Olympics.

LaShawn spoke briefly about his team's chances.

The 4 by 4 is an amazing event. And the United States has been known to be dominant in it. We’re going to line up or best quarter milers and go for it. If things play out well, we should get the world record.

I might just ask to be on the first leg so I can run and then be done. I’m not even worried about it. But whatever leg they give me, I plan to give it my all for the team.
