The bronze medal went to  Clayton Brown, also of Jamaica, with 15.30.

Jamaica won in 3:37.65 sand The Bahamas were second in 3:39.65.
The Under-18 boys did not face the starter, while the Under-20 boys’ unit of Joshua Walcott, Levi Cadogan, Akeim David and Tre Hinds were also fourth in 3:18.33.  (SAT)
