In a competitive professional field at Sir Walter Miler, 19-year-old Mikey Brannigan ran his way to his first sub-four-minute mile. Brannigan, who trains with the New York Athletic Club, finished seventh in 3:57.58, which converts to a 3:40.05 1500m.
Brannigan, who was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old, already owns the paralympic T-20 world record in the 1500m after running 3:48.85 at the U.S. Paralympic Track & Field National Championships.
