The Florida A&M foursome remains the only group in Relays history at any level to win three straight years in the same event with the same lineup. After winning in 1966, they broke Abilene Christian's 1959 record of 40.9 with a time of 40.6 in 1967, then broke that mark in 1968 with a 40.4. This record was broken in 1970 by UTEP. Florida A&M was the second Historically Black College or University and only the third team overall to win three straight 440-yard relays.
