CJ,
we run mile and 70 races and do have 4 poles that are 70 yards before each quarter pole.
One of them is 40 yards past the 6.5 pole, one is 40 yards past 4.5 pole and one is 40 yards past 2.5 pole. and then of course the actual 70 yard from the wire one, which not only acts as a starting beam but also acts as the one mile fraction timer (its usually a shade over 4 seconds from 70 yard marker to finish line).
If I remember I'll take some pictures of the beams tomorrow before the races.
