SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — It’s a world record that might only last a day. Still, the U.S. mixed 4×400 meter relay team owns it. The team of Vernon Norwood, Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon and Kaylyn Brown finished the four laps in an event that’s only 5 years old in 3 minutes, 7.41 seconds to break the mark of 3:08.80 set at world championships last year. All the record did was place the Americans in Saturday’s final, where the record will be in jeopardy again.
