Certainly not the youngest Scot to break 4mins for the mile. Clubmate of mine, Graham Williamson ran 3:53.15 as a junior in 1979.
Chris O'Hare is the youngest man to break 4-minutes in the mile INDOORS. Graham Williamson ran 3:53.15 outdoors. The scottish indoor mile record is 3:55
Kevin Schwab, OU sophmore, has also broken 4:00 numerous times already DURING PRACTICE.
be prapared for a sub 3:55 if Schwab ever runs a mile outdoors this year.
No, fastest.Casey's mark is a conversion.

Nice to see. Congrats to your son, he's obviously worked hard. 2nd fastest NCAA this year stands out.
Hi guys - sorry to disappoint! I did not run sub 4 minute mile. My chosen sports were soccer (or football as we call it in Scotland but that is another discussion) and Shotokan Karate. So I am delighted to say Chris has done this all on his own.
i must say that we are however so very proud of him. 6th fastest Scot ever over this distance at age 20 suggests there just may be more improvement to come.
Thank you to everyone for showing interest in Chris. I am sure it means a lot to him.

and don't forget that second place, silas kisorio, is an naia runner. last year he broke through from 4:01 to 3:57 at this race.
chris o'hare shoe in for nationals gold!?!?!?!?!?!?

Gold? no caseys a shoe in but i would say a medal is possible.
Anyone going to comment on the claim above that Schwab of Oklahoma has broken 4:00 multiple times in practice? I know Oklahoma is an rapidly improving team, but how intense are these practices?
to be honest i cud see chris getting valuable expreice this year at nationals and then next year look to winning although...he certainly has a great chance and i feel if he runs his own race whats to stop him winning!?!
