QRC Link

According to the principals of Flotrack, they are a “Go-to site for anybody interested in running.”  Flotrack has captured video of several of the events at the Penn Relays, including QRC’s win in the High School Boys’ 4×100 for Small Schools.

Suffice it to say that the team’s performance – particularly that of the fourth leg – was nothing short of astounding.

The full video clip of the race is a must-see for any and all Royalians and is available at:
