Emmanuel Korir Becomes First Man To Run Sub 1:44 & 44.25

A little over a year ago then UTEP freshman Emmanuel Korir turned some heads running 44.67 in the open 400m becoming the seventh man ever to run sub-1:47 and sub-45.00 in their career.

Today Korir created an even more elusive club becoming the first man ever to clock a sub-44.25 400m and a sub-1:44 800m in their career.


Since Korir is now in a league of his own here are the three men with sub-1:44/sub-45.00 career bests.
