Is the Mile in Arkansas the Best Indoor Mile in Terms of Sub 3:30/3:50 Guys in the US Since LRC Was Founded

That pretty much guarantees a slow tactical race.

I was wondering how fast it might be. Lagat and Kiplagat didn't break 4 in the Garden.

There is a rabbit listed (craig miller)

Guessing 1:52. Plenty fast to give a good crack at a sub-3:50!

You predict an indoor sub 3:50? That would be spectacular...

Which really shouldn't matter to a track fan. A race is a race and we should be able to appreciate a a great race even if it's tactical.

that would be his twin brother, Brad

I thought Jack Bolas was going to rabbit the Mile and Miller was going to rabbit the 2-Mile? Has this changed?

Isn't Jack Bolas Craig Miller's step brother? I thought that guy only ran the steeple.

I just realized the US Open this year had 3 guys who have run under 3:30 in their careers although I don't think Lagat is a sub 3:50 miler anymore. But that isn't 4 sub 3:50 guys.

well lagat ran 3:33.11 for 1500 last year, according to the iaaf scoring tables a 3:33.13 for 1500 is a 3:50.02 mile, so lagat was that fast a few months ago.

Brenda Martinez was the only one to go with the rabbit. She had a 12-15 meter lead she maintained for most of the race. At the bell she still had 2 seconds on the field led by Siham Hilali.

Hilali and Btissam Lakhouad closed well. Hilali passed Martinex with about 60 to go to win in 4:09. First 3 all 4:09.

1 Siham Hilali MAR 4:09.36

2 Btissam Lakhouad MAR 4:09.72

3 Brenda Martinez USA 4:09.96

4 Tizita Bogale ETH 4:10.89

5 Treniere Moser USA 4:12.71

6 Sara Vaughn USA 4:13.12 [4:13.113]

7 Anna Pierce USA 4:13.12 [4:13.118]

8 Stephanie Brown Arkansas 4:15.38

9 Heather Kampf USA 4:16.76

10 Ashley Higginson USA 4:20.16

No, no . . . I think you have him confused with Craig's twin who runs the 800. Maybe there is a cousin that runs the steeple?
