LRC Clayton Murphy Anchors US to 4x800 Gold and Reaffirms His Status as the Current World #1

David Rudisha, are you training hard? Clayton Murphy is in supreme form right now.

World Athletics:

The team of Chanelle Price, Chrishuna Williams, Laura Roesler and Charlene Lipsey got a comfortable 3+ second win over Belarus, although their 8:16 winning time wouldn't have been fast enough to even podium at the last two World Relays.

Yahoo:

With Jamaica not even in the final and three other teams (Andre De Grasse-lead Canada, GB and the Netherlands) DNFing, it was Barbados that took the silver way back from the US.
*IAAF Recap: "If you can keep your head when all around are losing theirs, then yours is the world relays title."

Nation:

We don't think so.

European-athletics:

The videos are great as they include Christine Arron's unofficial 9.66 relay from 1998 and a clip of Lillian Board who tragically died of cancer at age 22 in 1970. 

World Athletics:

Did you know Coe actually anchored GB's 4x400 squad a couple of times at the championship level?

World Athletics:

None of the guys on the 4 x 100 team that won Olympic silver last year are on the team as the oldest member is just 20.

Iol:

They'll probably both be in the 4 x 400. We'd love to see Caster on the 4 x 800.
