Reigning world champion Justin Gatlin and world 60 meters Indoor Champion Christian Coleman have formed their own relay team and will test to see how fast they can run tomorrow

According to Gatlin the idea originated with him and one of his sponsors and they recruited indoor world bronze medallist Ronnie Baker and longtime sprinter Mike Rodgers.

The top four ranked U.S. 100 meters runners for 2017 will be trying to beat the clock in a 4×100 meters relay at the Tennessee relays at Knoxville where Gatlin and Coleman were Collegiate champions.

Tennessee organizers are billing the race as an attempt at the American record of 37.38 seconds, but Gatlin, who ran on the two U.S. teams that share the record (with Rodgers on one of them), would settle for at least the fastest time of the year.

England currently holds that honor, running 38.31 last month in Brisbane.

The world record is 36.84 seconds by Usain Bolt and his Jamaican team mates at the 2012 Olympics.
