Current PhD student Alex Haydock-Wilson, alumnus Charlie Dobson (Aeronautical Engineering), and Loughborough College alumnus Lewis Davey all duly delivered alongside team-mate Matthew Hudson-Smith as the quartet clocked a European record of 2:55.83 to hit the podium.
Haydock-Wilson, who also won bronze in the Mixed 4x400m earlier in the week, ran a storming opening leg in 44.51 seconds before passing the baton to Hudson-Smith (43.09) who handed over to Davey (44.90), before Dobson’s anchor leg (43.33) saw GB over the line and in the medals.
Charlie Dobson said:
The rest of the boys did all the work for me really, I just had to get it round and I did very well with that I think and we secured it. These guys did the hard work and I had to roll with it. It was incredible.
