(With thanks to AA for the report)

The Mixed 4x400m relay team secured the nation's first relay victory in 26 years.

The quartet of Jordan Gilbert (VIC, Michael Gilbert), Bella Pasquali (VIC, Jason Boulton), Jack Deguara (NSW, Katie Smee) and Sophia Gregorevic (VIC, Steve Gaffney) shattered the Australian Under 20 record twice in the one day, clocking the third fastest time in history in 3:19.27 to be crowned world champions.

Jordan gifted the Australians the lead on the opening leg and the team never looked back, claiming victory by a margin of over one second.
