That's 2 this year added to the 2 last year. Hopefully one of these guys develops into a viable medal contender.

Michael Slagowski of Rocky Mountain High School (ID) became the ninth prep runner to dip below the four-minute mark in the mile today. He ran 3:59.53 at the Nike Jesuit Relays in Portland, Oregon.

I think his 1:48 is more impressive. It is crazy that four out of nine high schoolers to ever run a sub 4:00 mile did so in 2015 and 2016.

Drew Hunter is still the most promising of the bunch. 3:58 indoors

I dont think mile-distance runners are dominated by any particular ethnicity.

as a youth football fan, I can say with certainty I would never let my kid run as much as this kid did during training. Impressive however to say the least.

Just thinking about running that fast for that long makes me want to vomit for some reason.

Yes, he is closer to being a world-class 800 guy than a miler. But that is splitting hairs, breaking 4 is still an amazing accomplishment.

Agreed, Drew Hunter is my favorite of Maton, Fisher, Slag, and him (the four sub 4:00 milers of 2015 and 2016).

Hunter will be an amazing miler.

Slag could be the next Nick Symmonds with his 800 prowess.
