The team consisted of Stevens Point's (WI) Roisin Willis, Marble Falls' (TX) Bailey Goggans, Mount De Sales' (MD) Juliette Whittaker and Moses Brown's (RI) Sophia Gorriaran. Each member of the team ran on Saturday, too. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MileSplit (@milesplit) In becoming the unofficial world junior leaders in the relay -- World Athletics does not officially recognize the 4x800 -- the American contigent surpassed a nearly 30-year record last set by a group of Jamaican girls at the Penn Relays in 1991. That group went 8:37.71. Just a day earlier, Whittaker set the third-fastest high school indoor 800m time in history, producing an astounding time of 2:02.07. That time also qualified the 17-year-old for the U.S. Olympic Trials. Gorriaran was second on Saturday in a time of 2:03.96, while Willis was third in 2:04.31 and Goggans was fourth in 2:07.84.Below are the team splits: SplitsSplits29.167 (29.167) 1:00.403 (31.236) 1:32.703 (32.300)2:05.961 (33.258) 2:34.207 (28.246) 3:06.537 (32.330)3:44.121 (37.584) 4:26.453 (42.332) 4:56.381 (29.928)5:27.995 (31.614) 5:59.467 (31.472) 6:31.703 (32.236)7:00.663 (28.960) 7:31.813 (31.150) 8:04.881 (33.068)8:37.193 (32.312)
