Johnny Gregorek ran 3:57.47 on Saturday, .37 slower than his dad from May of 1981 in his first time under 4 minutes.
Marcus and Trevor Dunbar
I have the list of 439, but does anyone have the link or know how many father and sons have broken 4 minutes for the mile, in the US?
thx

Barry and Darren Brown. Don't think Dad Dunbar did. Think he ran 4:00.xx
I thought Marcus had gone under 4..... but you are correct.
From a Alaska Dispatch article:
"Marcus Dunbar chased it for years and came excruciatingly close to that magic mark. He passed the mission to his son, Trevor."
Sam Bair and his dad. Matt Centrowitz and Matthew Centrowitz.
Ryun's Dad coulda if he woulda.
the Keinos
Kenio
Brown
Coughlan
Centrowitz
Bair
Gregorek
The Coghlans === Eamonn and John
Well, Eamonn is almost American.
How many have broken 4 minutes in the same race, with the father leading and the son following in his footsteps
lagat could've if he would've
Brown was the first (Dad Deceased). He and Bair were chasing that honor for a while, and as I recall Bair ran 4:00.xx on something like 5 occasions before getting under.
2 sets.
Last one was Sam Bair and his son while at Pitt

No, it is more than that.
The non-Americans -
Kip and Martin Keino
Eamonn and John Coghlan
The Americans -
Barry and Darren Brown
Matt and Matt Centrowitz
Sam and Sam Bair
John and John Gregorek
We should make a new category of Father/Son combos who ran sub-4:00 and ARE NOT named the same thing. The Non-Americans would win.
Didn't Mac Fleet's father run a sub 4?
Also, Jim Grelle and his son
Abdi Bile (not american)
Son Ahmed (american) just broke 4 for first time a few weeks ago
No on Grelle, but I just saw evidence of how great Jim was ... 22 sub-4:00 miles indoors and out!
Negative on Mac Fleet's dad as well.
Amazing how in three weeks how many times the Bile last name name has been butchered by FloTrack
They should be ashamed really
Just watch an old You Tube highlight
