relay team
Sequential racing squad
A relay team is a group of athletes who compete together in a relay race, with each member completing one segment before handing off to the next.
The term applies mainly to track and swimming events: The American relay team set a world record in the 4x100 meters.
By extension, any group working in coordinated succession: We formed a relay team to move the boxes.
