The Indian mixed 4x400m relay team of Bharat Shridhar, Priya Mohan, Kapil and Rupal Chaudhary, on Tuesday, set a new Junior Asian Record in the event during the ongoing U-20 World Athletics Championships in Cali, Colombia.

The Indian quartet clocked 3:19.62 to top their heat and qualify for the final of 4x400m relay for the second consecutive time at the U-20 World Athletics Championships.
