Eli5: Can you replace sweating by getting yourself sprayed with water?

I saw a short of a marathon in extreme heat. The runners got spray with water to cool them down. Does this replace the effect of sweating?

I guess it would depend on the circumstances. Sweating is supposed to help rid the body of toxins kind of like urine does.

If you are trying to stay cool, then yes.
