 In the 4x400m Relay, the entire first heat (Six Teams) were taken out of the official results and the times were not scored because an IHSA official accidently made a mistake while officiating the race. The third leg of each relay Team ran 240m, and was then required by the IHSA official to make an exchange. As a result, the relays in the first heat all ran 160m less than the second heat. The Teams in the first heat were not counted for points. However, we do have the splits. Northside Sophomore Joel Deleon ran a 60.23 400m split on the first leg of the relay. Northside Sophomore Cesar Rufino ran a 65.47 400m split on the second leg of the relay.
