Let me take a guess, because it's indoors?

re: been here before

This list alone would make anyone sit up in their chair and acknowledge the greatness of Jim Ryun.

re: Shawn H

The year I graduated from high school, 1982, had 4 of the top 13 times. I don't think I've ever realized until now how good that year was.

Thanks. We'll add in the indoor time as 20 sounds better and change the Webb thing.

The list came from here:

http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_mileok.htm

But they have indoors at the bottom and also only list Bernard Lagat's Kenyan time which is faster than what he ran for the US.

Seems to be the case since Lomong doesn't get credit for his 3:51:21 at the Armory. I think the USATF doesn't recognize indoor times as all-time records. Should though.

One of the best performances of that era was Herb Lindsay's 46:00 from 1980 - I swear they listed it as 45:59 in a magazine article. I remember thinking how crazy it was that someone could run 4:36/mile for 10 miles. The fact that Geb ran 44:24 (4:26/mi) in 2005 (http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m10milesroad.htm) is truly crazy.

Ryan Hall ran 45:33 for his 10 mile split at Houston in 2010, but no American has run a faster 10 mile race 34 years after Lindsay ran his PR.

re: Another Option

Has anyone from the U.S. won the Dream Mile since Falcon's 1990 first place?

I think there's also a typo on Ryun, it should be 3:41 not 3:51
