Just got a text from Mark that David Torrence won the USATF Road Mile in 3:59!!!! $4k for the win + $10K for SUB 4!!!
Nice job DT, congrats. When I was in Cal for Payton Jordan last week Torrence told me he had been living off of $2,000 he had gotten in the fall (so for about the past 8 months!). I guess he'll be living like a king with this pay day, haha
Props to USATF putting on an event like this with an opportunity to win some money for these athletes, good to see.
**UPDATE: (10 mins after orginial post)
-online it says 4:00 (mark was looking at the clock when david crossed the line) so doesn't look like he'll get that extra 10k which is a bummer but still a victory and $4k in the pocket
***UPDATE #2:
Original post was correct, Brian below found the offical results!! 3:59.3!
