    Well done to him.. The record will get broken next weekend anyway.

    The kid from down under who ran 5:03 using bottles could give him a run. I would think bottles would be slower to down, and the last cap wouldn't twist off. Cost him at least 3 seconds if not more. That should have been the first official sub 5.

    A true beer miler would always have a bottle opener or even a second beer if he thought his wrists would suddenly go limp before the last lap.

    Haha, in all fairness, this kid will likely get the record if he can run like last time and not have bottle problems WITH the new incentive of witnessing a sub 5 now.

    But i still don't think bottles are the best idea.

    If he used cans (and ran all alone) he could use half empty or empty ones. With the bottles and other people present it'll have to be legit.

    Harris did pretty well considering he had a cross country race in the morning. Obviously wasn't too phased about going for a quick beermile. Shame really.

    I am not sure if it has been said before, but even if it has, I will say it again: DIII OWNS THE BEER MILE.

    All you running-scholarship chumps wish you could lay claim to a record the public actually cares about.

    Have any D3 girls gone sub-6:00 in a beer mile? Seems like it would be their event. Maybe sub-7:00 more realistic?

    This is the best running performance of 2014. Bar none.

    Two guys at Oregon broke 5 at the Shittum meet at Hawyard Field in the mid/late 90's in different years. I believe they used cups so it doesn't fall under the current rules, but some say that they were 16 ounce cups as opposed to a 12 oz. can or bottle.

    Those two would have given Nielsen a run under the current rules.

    pre-poured cups don't count. The biggest obstacle people face with the beer mile is dealing with the carbonation. If you can air the beer out, it is a different event.
