state by state 1 mile records?

It is your list so do as you will but I do not think those who run 93% of a mile should get the honor of being called a sub Four Minute Miler.The Four Minute Mile is unique, so unique that the IAAF recognizes the mile as a standalone WR and the only non-metrical WR.

I've added everyone else that broke 3:42.22 for the 1500.

agree 100% a 1500 and a mile are both great but completely different events. To me 3:42 whatever is no 4 min mile, its like me saying I can run a 2:00 800 so I should be included

I hear ya on the 1500/mile shtuff....although your comparison of 2:00 800 is wayyyy off if it will make anybody feel any better about their 2:00 or sub 2:00 800 I never broke 2:00 til sophmore year in college so there is hope...I never really had a good quality shot in a mile after college, and I was a late bloomer as far as quality times go, all my PR's were well after college...and in all honesty my PR's were races where I actually got smoked, like in the 1500 Steve Scott won in like 3:36 3:37 and I was around 10th or 11th.... or my 5000, where I believe 13:30 won and I finished 8th or 9th in 13:46.....

Added the date when Webb ran the first sub-4 in South Carolina. Note: I can confirm the Waigwa mile was in W. Va.

Here's the article I wrote when Webb broke 4 in S.C. for the first time:

I have a similar list & believe we match now. The TX time was run on an oversized track in the old Astrodome and the TN mark was also oversized at ETSU. Waigwa's time was run in SC. .

Pretty sure Waigwa's time was in Charelston WV a week after NCAA's. Tom Duits of Western Michigan and Steve Lacy of Wisconsin also ran.

You're right, I screwed that up. On my list I have:

West Virginia: 3:58.3, Wilson Waigwa, 6/12/76

As an update for Alabama

This link says that the 1976 SEC Indoor Championships were held at the LSU Field House, so it would count toward Louisiana, not Alabama:

Anyone want to add the progress of the last 14 months?

Andrew Wheating brings Vermont up the list of fastest states big time with a 3:51.7 from this summer.

Other than that I dunno. I'm a native of VT and I love it!

Steve Bolt!

WA: add Abdi Hassan, Jordan McNamara and both the McClarys for 20 total

Bump for Manzano's "record" today. Possibly outdoor record?

Eric Jenkins of New Hampshire ran sub 4 this winter running for Northeastern University, which makes him the third New Hampshire native to run sub 4

No German Fernandez?

It appears to be a few years out of date.

Wheating's best as 3:58? No Fernandez. No Rupp 3:50.9

Ya mean the dates on the headings didn't give it away?

Now, that's silly! They are not "completely" different events in the way that a 800 and mile are different events. Have you ever even raced all three??

The 1500 and mile are quite comparable.

Indiana now has 8 (Andy Bayer, Andrew Poore, DeSean Turner, Austin Mudd)

What other states have added runners? Malmo, have an updated list handy?
