US quartet blasts 41.58 in the 4x100 as Wlodarczyk improves to 77.20m in Cottbus

US quartet clocks fastest time in 12 years

Running with Lauryn Williams, Allyson Felix, Muna Lee and Carmelita Jeter, the USA 1 4x100m team clocked the fastest time in a dozen years, winning comfortably in 41.58 ahead of another American squad - Jessica Young, Alexandria Anderson, Marshevet Hooker and Charonda Williams- who clocked 42.23. A Colombia quartet was third in 43.61. It was a world lead for the Americans, equalling the eighth fastest ever, and a big confidence boost for Berlin. The 24-year-old World record by the GDR stands at 41.37.
