By Doug Binder, DyeStat Editor

The quartet of Colleen Quigley, Elise Cranny, Karissa Schweizer and Shelby Houlihan put on another record-breaking performance Friday at the fourth intrasquad meet featuring coach Jerry Schumacher's Bowerman Track Club pros at Jesuit High. 

Houlihan anchored the group to a total time of 16 minutes, 27.02 seconds six seconds faster than the 2014 world record set by the Kenyan team of Mercy Cherono, Faith Kipyegon, Irene Jelagat and Hellen Obiri at the 2014 World Relays in Nassau, The Bahamas (16:33.58).

The men followed and Lopez Lomong anchored an American team that included Evan Jager, Grant Fisher and Sean McGorty to victory in 14:34.97. That came out to better than 3:39 per man.

A second BTC team with Marc Scott, Moh Ahmed, Ryan Hill and Woody Kincaid finished in 14:44.69.
