Clayton Murphy's bags are lost, eyeing 4x8 World Record

null

2016 Olympic bronze medalist Clayton Murphy is halfway through a hectic three week block: he blasted a world-leading 1:43.6 at the Mt. SAC Relays last weekend, leads Team USA's 4x800m squad this weekend at the IAAF World Relays and has a 1500m at the Drake Relays next up on his calendar. His luggage (and spikes) were lost in transit from Portland to Nassau, but he's taking it in stride -- the 22-year-old revealed that the red, white and blue are targeting the 4x800m world record (and a $50,000 payout) on Sunday night. Kenya currently owns the world record at 7:02.43. The American record is 7:02.82.
