I saw the first time a the four minute mile was broken in high school in the US. 3:59.86 it was in 2002. Tbh I never questioned it
Jim Ryun ran 3:59 as a high schooler in 1964 (and then 3:55 in 1965). Alan Webb ran 3:53 in high school in 2001.
Oh my god it was Alan Webb at the armory in NYC that I saw! That same track found me on the floor when i fell during a relay race haha. Thank you for that mental trip
