Botswana’s 4x400m mixed and women's relay teams have failed to qualify for the Budapest World Athletics Championships. The women's 4x400m team failed to compete due to unavailability of opponents while the mixed team finished in second position during the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) field and track event held at the National Stadium yesterday.

The team registered a time of 3:20.87 finishing behind Kenya who won the race in 3:15.94, while Zimbabwe came third in 3:37.03. The qualification time for 4x400m mixed relay was 3:14.00.
