It is new this year to run the 4x800 early this year. It is done to give the distance runners more rest time. It is pretty difficult to run the 4x800, 1600, and 3200 so close together. I like the change, (my daughter is running all 3, so I might be a little biased towards the distance runners) but there are some complaining about it also.

I couldn't agree more. My son ran the 4 X 800, 800,1600 and 3200 at State a few years ago. He was pretty much done after the 4 X 800 and 1600 and didn't really do all that well in the 800 or 3200.
