Zero.
Lagat is born in Kenya.
Until now : 4 person from the UK did.
And given how the "mile" distance is popular among distance track kids in the US, it's actually very shocking they can't get more talent for this distance.

Cole Hocker will do it next year. 3:28, world champ, and american record, baby! Can't stop the Shocker!
During his AR mile, Webb probably went through 1500 at sub 3:30 so I’d say your thesis is….most likely…incorrect.

Uh, no. It didn’t take him 17 seconds to run the last ~109m.
He came through in 3:31.6. His mark converts to a 3:30.3 1500m. So no, you’re very wrong.
3:30.1 conversion
America also has a gold and silver in the 1500 in the last few cycles ;)

Manzano wasn't born in the usa.
Good catch, forgot about that
Runners born in the US have improved on Jim Ryun's time from 1967 by 3 seconds. Quite impressive.
According to delusional Letsrun forumgoers Cole Hocker has already run sub 3:30
Do you know that Noureddine Morceli failed to deflect to USA from Algerian Team in 1988?
(at that time he was aged 18 and maybe vice-champion U20 1500m).
He relate that in his memories.
Hocker will break it next year and Kessler will do it the following year.
Matt MF Centro will do it next year
