The 1930 winning 880-yard relay was the third straight victory for Ohio State in this event, and they would win again in 1932 and 1933 for a total of five wins over six years. The winning time of the 1930 team, 1:26.8, was the fastest of those five wins. That performance chopped a full second off the prior carnival record by Yale in 1926 and remained on the books as a record for six years, broken by the University of Texas in 1936.
