Oceania 4x100m Relay

The 4x100m or sprint relay was first held as part of the Olympics in 1912 (men) and 1928 (women).

At the Oceania Champs each country puts together a team to compete. On occasion, such as in 2014 when pacific island representation was low, combination teams are allowed to improve the competition.

The sum of the ages of the runners determines which of the three age-bands the team will contest.

The men compete in age-bands of:

150 to 199 years
200 to 239 years
240 years plus

The women compete in age-bands of:

150 to 194 years
195 to 229 years
230 years plus

These are the current age bands; earlier championships did not necessarily use the exact same bands.
