Dave Bayler asked:

My 8th Grade son's 4x200 meter relay team has a good chance to medal at the State meet on May 16th. Any tips to shave a few seconds?

Alice’s answer:

lean forward at the end! you or your son probably already knew that, but incase you didn't, leaning doesn't help you shave off time as much as win when you're neck in neck with someone.

Dealing with the parents

Alice’s answer:

Same as you did. i wouldv'e told him that if he thought i was doing it wrong, he should come out and try it himself.
