Joel, lane 7, possibly the worst start ever. Seems to react, but pops straight up and tries to get into his running too quickly. Lost the stagger pretty quickly and tried to fight it down the back straight.

Based on that, why did they have him starting in the relay? Based on how poor his block clearance was at the time, they should have had him from a running start (ie 2nd or 3rd leg) to get an indication. He lost valuable time from the start, and Penny had no choice but to drop him

He is starting like a hurdler.
