Hello all,
This is a message for people with knowledge of (interest in)
sprinting/relays. I was wondering whether anybody has ever heard
of 'sibling relays'?
In The Netherlands, the AAC Amsterdam club team for the Dutch national
relays championships will consist of four brothers: Randy, Jermain,
Gregory and Valery Sedoc will try and break the (definately
unofficial, maybe non-existent?) family relay record in the 4x100
meters.
There is a very realistic chance for these four to at least break the
41second barrier. Certainly the first three athletes are very
accomplished athletes in their own right:
Randy ('75): LJ 7.72; TJ 15.00 (100/200 m: 10,63-10.55w/21.40-21.38w);
Jermaine ('77): TJ 15.51; LJ 7.50;
Gregory ('79): 110hurdles 13,51; LJ 7.82; 100m 10.75 (rarely ran);
Valery ('82?) is probably just as talented - he plays soccer
professionally in The Netherlands.
Also interesting: in the 70s, father Roy Sedoc was the Dutch record
holder in triple jump (with 16.01m, he is still fourth all time in The
Netherlands).
All replies greatly appreciated,
Regards, Wilmar Kortleever
