Just bring a hill Kenyan to CO or WY and they will run sub 4 easily just like they do in training back home.

I would bet that the meet record at Dartmouth relays is under 4
Notice Utah isn't on this list. No excuse for being at altitude, CO or WY

Lowest in WY is 3800' in Greybull, west of the Big Horns.
Hard to see a sub-4 race getting organized in Greybull, WY. I have to say WY will be last.
Take Alabama off.
Vincent Rono went 3:58 the year after he won nationals at South Alabama's track meet. He was the first on Alabama soil to do it.

Not 3:58 but he did run 3:59.63 in Mobile on April 14 2007.
AL is off the list, thanks.

Odd that no one has ever gone sub in Hawaii.
You'd figure someone would have organized a professional race there. It's not as if people wouldn't like to go to Hawaii. That in and of itself would be a fantastic draw. Having a fast race at sea level helps, too.
I was reading "When Running Was Young and So Were We" by Jack Welch and he had an article about Marc Davis going 3:57 in 1995. That was a road mile and not a track mile, however.
Vermont will be the last

In the 2008 Big 12 race in Boulder, it was Manzano who ran 3:41.80 for the win; Pifer was second in 3:43.65.
If there is another race you're thinking of, please reference.
No that's the race I was thinking of, so it was Manzano which makes sense.

+1. I depress myself when I look at the HS state championship times from VT. I'm from MA and could've been contending for state champ with my 9:4x 2-mile time... I couldn't even make the All State meet in MA. NH has dartmouth, but VT has absolutely nothing. Anyone that wants to run in New England has a bunch of fast tracks in Boston. VT will be the last
Who went for it in Delaware this past weekend? Any info on where this took place? I'm only curious because I am from DE, and the running community is very tight knit here. I figured I would have heard about this.
Looks like it was Jake Edwards from Ohio State.

Nah...Wheating will come back and knock this one off. Or, someone will just drive over and do it so they can say they were the first.
That's Delaware, Ohio. Not Delaware the state. Delaware the state has no sub 4 miles on the soil as well as no native sub 4 Delawareans.

Is Delaware wide enough to have a 400-meter track?
We've got a comedian over here, guys!
Next year I'll run a sub-4 mile in a new state every Saturday. I'll finish with Wyoming.
Given that WY has a very low population. And the most promising runners live in Jackson el. 6200.Also, track season is ski season. zero chance for a 4:00mi, and I mean absolutely zero.

Some of those little towns have oil money and really nice facilities. So an attempt at under 5000 ft is possible. But it might take an act of god. But let's say in a few years this kid who ran 1:48 for 800 ma high schooler wants to make some more history.
A decade ago no one would have thought about Alaska but along came Trevor Dunbar and the Dome and that got people thinking and dreaming. So they rounded up some good runners and went after it. Even though it wasn't Dunbar who did it in state.
