I dont mean to take over this thread and i hope that this post doesnt get away from the original question, but this seems like a good place to aswell ask, who will be the next to break 4 in HS in the US, and when?

Lukas Verzbicas.
Jordan Hasay.
Wheating. Why not be the first to say it?
Pre after winning the gold medal in the marathon.
Someone we haven't heard of yet. Either that or Alan Webb.
David Rudisha, if he wanted to switch his strength from his current 400/800 balance more toward the 800/1500 side.
Will never be broken. Sub-3:20 1500 by 2040, though.
Silas Kiplagat went from 3.39 to 3.29 this year. And there is Asbel Kiprop with the huge potential (and legs).
Webb will PR in the mile before his career is done. Wheating will be under 3:47 but I don't think he'll ever have the strength to get much under the current American record.
Just go with whoever Ventolin^3 tells you. Ventolin^3 and his magical calculator are never wrong.
Silas Kiplagat is the easiest answer.
He is the fastest in the world right now and he is very young.
But as dominant as the Kenyans are at 1500m, a Kenyan has never held the World Record in the mile.

Improving four seconds (converted from 1500 time) is a longshot at his level, but I'd agree. Who knows what this kid can do with a monster base behind him? Sub-3:30 next year for sure, assuming he stays healthy, but just how far below it?
Wheating has improved by a huge level every year. I see no reason for it to stop now.

Not only does he have a magical calculator, he has also watched a lot of track races on TV.
the mile is becoming an extinct event at the highest levels, oslo and the pre classic have it, but its usually too early in the season, london has one, not a lot of top mile races.
the 1500 record of 3:26.0 supposedly is the equivalnt of a 3:42.8 mile, so in a way it already has been bettered by the same runner.

If someone is close to the mile record (probably after they've broken the 1500m record) they will get a Mile race near the end of the season to set it. "If they come you will build it"
Ventolin takes longer time than usual to do his calculations, this must be a hard nut to crack.

When there is someone running in the 3:26 range, then I think you'll see a few of the big meets in Europe stage a mile as a world record attempt.
