USA shaved 0.06 off the world record* in the men's distance medley with a time of 9:15.50 on the second day of the IAAF/BTC World Relays, Bahamas 2015. The team of  Kyle Merber (1200m), Brycen Spratling (400m), Brandon Johnson (800m) and Ben Blankenship (1600m) improved on the nine-year-old record of Kenya, thanks in part to an outstanding last leg by Blankenship in 3:51.24. The victorious USA team will receive a world record bonus of US$50,000. *subject to the usual ratification procedures Courtesy IAAF
