ESPN Radio's Colin Cowherd had a challenge to run under a 6:30 mile.
This got more track and field coverage on ESPN radio than probably the World Champs:

Colin has just reported that he ran the mile in 6:11 mile.

Couple of points:
1) If anyone has any contacts at ESPN radio, email me ASAP at
Supposedly a top American miler has been trying to call into the show today and keeps getting a buys signal.
2) That looks way slower than 6:11. Anyone else agree? Maybe I'm jut self conscious because my now 8 minute miles must look even slower. ESPN needs to release the full race video or at least longer snippets and his splits. Cowherd looks fit, so he should be able to run 6:11.
I edited the title until we get more proof
