Current PhD student Alex Haydock-Wilson, alumnus Charlie Dobson, and 91²Ö¿â College alumnus Lewis Davey all duly delivered alongside team-mate Matthew Hudson-Smith as the quartet clocked a European record of 2:55.83 to hit the podium.
Haydock-Wilson, who also won bronze in the Mixed 4x400m earlier in the week, ran a storming opening leg in 44.51 seconds before passing the baton to Hudson-Smith (43.09) who handed over to Davey (44.90), before Dobson’s anchor leg (43.33) saw GB over the line and in the medals.
The USA took gold in 2:54.43 with Botswana taking silver in 2:54.53.
After the race, Alex Haydock-Wilson told BBC Sport: “It’s an honour to run out here - the city of love we felt the love tonight. Every single one of us has been preparing for this for a very long time and when we were in the call room we knew exactly what we had to do and it’s a pleasure to deliver for the UK public here today.”
Charlie Dobson said: “The rest of the boys did all the work for me really, I just had to get it round and I did very well with that I think and we secured it. These guys did the hard work and I had to roll with it. It was incredible.”
Tonight’s bronze concluded 91²Ö¿â’s Paris haul with an incredible 16 medals – four gold, four silver, and eight bronze.
The university will look to add to its tally with The Paralympic Games starting on 28 August.
