The quartet — from left, ex-Wakatipu High student Hayato Yoneto, Dunedin’s Felix McDonald, ex-Wakatipu High student Jackson Rogers and Dunedin-based John Gerber, who attended kindy in Queenstown — also broke a 22-year Otago record in the process.
They finished in 40.46 seconds, breaking the record by a mere one-100ths of a second.
Yoneto, meanwhile, who’s a 100m and 200m sprinter, will be a New Zealand rep at the Oceania champs in Fiji in June.
