Congratultions to Oregon's latest Sub 4 Minute Miler!

The current and the last Oregon coach have a long way to catch up to Bill and Bill in terms of the number of sub four milers they produce. The last coach only produced one sub four miler. How many did Bill B. and Bill D. produce each?

Another question, how many Oregon sub 4s by decade?

00s 2 so far

90s 1

80s ?

70s ?

60s ?

50s ?

Does Oregon still have the most sub four minute milers of any school?

Are we even counting indoor sub 4s into this mix?

re: Condor

I was actually going to respond that they didnt have that many sub 4 milers, but I checked their all-time list and it is VERY impressive.

1. Joaquim Cruz 3:53.00 1984

2. Steve Prefontaine 3:54.6 1973

3. Dub Myers 3:55.31 1986

4. Dave Wilborn 3:56.2 1967

5. Roscoe Divine 3:56.3 1970

6. Jim Hill 3:56.41 1982

7. Rudy Chapa 3:57.04 1981

8. Dyrol Burleson 3:57.6 1961

Archie San Romani 3:57.6 1964

10. Knut Kvalheim 3:57.9 1973

11. Paul Geis 3:58.1 1974

12. Keith Forman 3:58.3 1962

13. Arne Kvalheim 3:58.5 1968

Mark Feig 3:58.5 1974

15. Jim Bailey 3:58.6 1956

Scott Daggatt 3:58.6 1975

17. Gary Barger 3:58.8 1975

18. Bill McChesney Jr. 3:59.1 1980

19. Matt Centrowitz 3:59.2 1975

Steve Savage 3:59.2 1970

21. Colin Dalton 3:59.44 1991

22. Steve Fein 3:59.46 2000

23. Harold Kuphaldt 3:59.73 1987

24. Rick Bergesen 3:59.79 1987

25. Mike Blackmore 3:59.80 1984

26. Wade Bell 3:59.8 1966

27. Lars Kaupang 3:59.9 1974

Add Mike McGrath (2006) and Acosta (2008) to this list as well. I can't imagine any other school has a list of sub 4 milers (or equivalent) 30 deep.

re: Didnt realize...

If you are going to state "I can't imagine any other school has a list of sub 4 milers (or equivalent) 30 deep." then you are stating the equivalent from the 1,500 meters right?

Looking at the all time list:

Knut Kvalheim ran 3:39.0 in 1973.

Norm Trerise ran 3:39.6 in 1968.

I would think there are more who didn't make the top 10 on the list as 10th is 3:39.9.

I don't know the exact "cut off" for a 1,500 meter conversion into the mile but it's like 17 seconds right?

For a quick example, Karl Keska, Daniel Das Navis, Ben Andrews, Greg James and Oliver Wirz (I think, I'm old and my memory isn't what it used to be) all ran in the 3:42 to 3:43 range in the mid 90's.

Either way, it is pretty impressive.
