British Set Record in 800 Relay

Britons Linford Christie, Darren Braithwaite, Ade Mafe and John Regis set a world indoor record of 1 minute 22.11 seconds for the men’s 800 meters during a dual meet against the United States Sunday at Glasgow, Scotland.

The previous mark of 1:22.11 was set by an Italian quartet in Turin in 1984.

The team of Terri Dendy, Natasha Kaiser, Marilyn Gilliard and Jearl Miles set an American record of 3 minutes 34.66 seconds in the women’s indoor 1,600-meter relay, breaking the mark of 3:35.92 set by the University of Florida at the 1990 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.

The U.S. won the meet, 150-127.
