Team USA defends 4x8 title with exciting finish over Kenya
Apr 24, 2017
Team USA's quartet of Brannon Kidder, Erik Sowinski, Casimir Loxsom and Clayton Murphy won a slow and tactical 4x800m over Team Kenya to defend their title at the World Relays. Sowinski and Loxsom were on the 2015 winning team. The race really got going with 200m to go, as Ferguson Cherioyot Rotich, who was fifth in the 800m in Rio, slammed on the gas opposite Murphy, the Rio bronze medalist. The men recount the race and offer thoughts on the departure of alternate Charles Jock from the team.
