"TOKYO -- Sha'Carri Richardson and Noah Lyles blasted through the anchor legs of back-to-back wins in the rainy 4x100s Sunday night to close out world championships with a relay sweep for the U.S. Richardson received the baton with a .01-second deficit against Jamaica, but made it up and then held on for a .04-second margin. The winning time was 41.75 seconds."
"Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone anchored the U.S. women to victory in the 4x400 and Cole Hocker won gold in the 5,000 on the best night of the meet for the United States. Lyles teamed with Christian Coleman, Courtney Lindsey and Kenny Bednarek for his second gold to put a hold on the U.S. struggles in the relays. The U.S. won in 37.29 - .26 ahead of Canada."
"The only miss for the U.S. involved the men's 4x400 team. It came down to a last-lap sprint between 400-hurdles champ Rai Benjamin of America and 400-flat champ Collen Kebinatshipi of Botswana. Benjamin received the baton with a .19-second lead but couldn't hold off Kebinatshipi, who beat him to the line by .07 to give emerging sprint power Botswana its first relay win in 2:57.76."
