The Irish mixed 4x400m relay team set a new national record to finish third at the World Athletics Relays in Nassau, the Bahamas.

The side, like the women's 4x400m team, had sealed Olympic qualification with a stunning heat run early on Sunday morning, and backed it up with another brilliant display as Ireland clocked a time of 3:11.53 to finish in the bronze position behind the USA and the Netherlands .

For so long it looked like it could have been silver, but Mawdsley’s great final leg battle with Femke Bol saw the latter move ahead coming around the final bend. Sligo AC runner Cadden posted 53.09 before a closing leg of 52.21 from Becker for an overall time of 3:30.95 in a race won by USA in a time of 3:21.70.

"I was here nine years ago in 22015 and we were sixth I think , the men's team; the women’s team were fifth ," he told Athletics Ireland.
