The team of Clinton Bautista, Joyme Sequita, Michael Del Prado, and Umajesty Williams clinched a gold medal for the Philippines after winning the men’s 4x400m relay event in the athletics competitions of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games on Friday.

The relay team clocked in at 3:07.22 to barely edge out Thailand at 3:07.23 for the gold. Malaysia came in third with a time of 3:08.82 for the bronze medal.
