Canada crushed the mixed 400 free relay meet record at the 2015 FINA World Junior Championships.<\/p>\n

The foursome of Javier Acevedo, Markus Thormeyer, Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> and Taylor Ruck<\/strong> turned in a winning time of 3:27.71. \u00a0That swim broke the meet record of 3:28.74 set by Australia in 2013.<\/p>\n

Although the official stats have Canada’s time as the World Junior record, it is slower than the unratified World Junior mark of 3:27.02 set by Li Guangyuan, Qiu Yuhan, Yu Hexin<\/strong> and Shen Duo<\/strong> at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Jack Cartwright, Kyle Chalmers, Lucy Elizabeth McJannett<\/strong> and Shayna Jack<\/strong> took silver in 3:28.59.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Vladislav Kozlov, Igor Shadrin, Mariia Kameneva<\/strong> and Arina Openysheva<\/strong> earned bronze in 3:28.79.<\/p>\n
