Deja Vu

Many may recall at last year's edition of the OATCCC Division 1 Indoor Championships when Gahanna Lincoln torched the final leg to win gold in the final homestretch of the Boys 4x200m Relay.

Well, it happened once again, and the dramatic finish was just as exciting as last year, if not even more, as they came in seeded fourth, and in the end, came out on top.

The race as a whole was exciting to witness from start to finish, as it was a constant battle for the lead between LaSalle, Gahanna Lincoln, and Cleveland Heights. Going into the final home stretch of the race, Gahanna Lincoln, joined by Cleveland Heights, quickly made up the gap that was initially created from the handoffs to the anchors in the last 100 meters.
