FloTrack Predicts The 500th U.S. Sub-4 Miler
Who will be the 500th U.S. sub-4 miler? FloTrack takes a look at potential milers who could be the one to do it in 2018.
Last week, Donavan Brazier became the 493rd American to break four minutes in the mile. We've seen a total of 68 Americans run sub-four for the first time over the past three years. Therefore, it is very likely that the 500th American to break four minutes will do it during this upcoming indoor season.
Who will the 500th athlete be?
First, we need to take a look at potential first-time sub-four milers in 2018. Below is a list of Americans who ran a 1500 or mile that converts to 4:02 or faster in 2017.
