You are correct, Daniel Komen hold the fastest two times for the two mile (a not very often run race, the metric equivalent 3000m was run very often in the 90's, and still somewhat today). Funny how both Komen and Haile have all of their fastest times within the same second. Complete list here:

1. 7:58.61 Daniel Komen
2. 7:58.91 Daniel Komen
3. 8:01.08 Haile Gebrselassie
4. 8:01.72 Haile Gebrselassie
5. 8:01.86 Haile Gebrselassie
A somewhat rough estimate is 7:24.xx 3000m for a 7:59.99 two mile. That event is much more often run, if you want to look at the people who could have possibly done it. Here is a list for the 3k:
