And mark Belger did it indoors at Harvard back in the 80 or 81, plus like someone said, everyone breaks 4 at BU these days.
Like others, I don't understand why Massachusetts is even being mentioned in this thread. Hell, ten men broke 4:00 in the same race at Falmouth last summer.

Yeah, I kinda dropped the ball leaving Massachusetts off the original post... oops.
Anyone know about new jersey? I'd suspect yes, but anyone have a reference?

Yes, Eamonn Coghlan set the former world indoor record and still #2 all-time (3:49) in the Meadowlands Arena.

PS This list might help you out:
http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_mileok.htmYou sir are my hero. Now it's just a crap load of numbers to wade through. Good catch.
Wow, Steve Scott was the man.
Wisconsin hadn't until a few years ago. There is a video of it on youtube, but the runners in the race were so unremarkable as a whole, that I don't even remember who was in the race.

On second thought, don't add AK. Dunbar ran 3:59 last summer, but that was in Portland. So if the question is "in state" then nope it hasn't happened yet.
Re-add Alaska - someone ran the first sub-4 mile in Anchorage last summer - right before Dunbar ran the first sub-4 by an Alaskan (but not in Alaska).
Also - there has never been a sub-4 mile run in Colorado on the track.
I'd imagine the Dakotas never have.
I think there was a sub 4 in Oregon a couple of weeks ago.
Does anyone know if anyone has ever broken four in Massachusetts?
Frank O'Mara ran 3:53 indoors at Brown, so add RI. I'd be surprised if Mark Carroll and Greg Whiteley haven't both done it, too.
Pat Casey put one up in Montana a few years back. Nearly put his name on New Mexico too but Leer was a couple strides ahead.
Just looked up Minnesota.

Also, I'm pretty sure Ben Blankenship ran one in state before, didn't bother checking after I found the first one though.
Atlanta held the Olympics. Maybe not a mile, but assuredly fast enough 1500 for these purposes.

What about Georgia and the Carolinas? I'd imagine more east coast states have had some but not sure...
Hawaii?

The 1500m is not the mile. However, there was a Grand Prix meet held in Atlanta in May 96 where Morceli ran 3:50 and Holman was fairly close behind.
South Carolina got its first sub-4 in 2007, by none other than Mr. Webb.
