Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the American Record holders in the 2 mile dating back to the 1960's?

Nor does it have Gouchers, Tegs from 2006 or Tegs and Ritzs from this year.
he wanted the US record holders, not the US all-time performance list (which would have the marks you listed).
Burleson sets a new record in April of 1962 and then in June Jim Beatty takes ~13 seconds off of that record. I don't know how often the 2-mile was run back then, but that had to be huge.
It's also amazing to think that Matt Centrowitz's time from this year's Nike Outdoor Nationals would have been the US record until Beatty's run.
