Correct.
Joan Benoit Samuelson at Bowdoin though she was more 5/10K runner than miler.
Jeff Galloway and Bill Rodgers both ran for Wesleyan and made Olympic Teams.
And all those people listed were Milers? I though Nick Symmonds was an 800 runner and Edwin Moses and the others?
Karl Paranya qualified for 1997 world championships in the 1500, but not compete.
I think the fastest miler ever to come out of d3 was Will Leer, as far as Americans go. Not sure about foreign nationals. Keep in mind that the d3 record is just under 4 flat, I can't recall off hand what it is. There never has been a Chesereck, Ryun, or even an Andrews at the d3 level.

I believe Symmonds ran 3:40+ for 1500 in college and won the D3 1500 title three times.

I believe they predated D3 though.

Paranya ran 3:57.6. Not sure if it's still the record, but I'd give it a little more credit than "just under 4." It's not like a 3:59.9 or something
Paranya would be in the top ten at Oregon all-time with that 3:57.6, I think. Not too bad for a D3 guy.

Correct. There was only University Division and College Division then.

Please provide your evidence that Morehouse was a NCAA D3 school. Other posters have correctly stated NCAA D1, D2 & D3 categories started in 1973. Morehouse is a charter member of SIAC Athletic Conference, 1913. SIAC has been NCAA D2 since 1973 I believe.

Good catch. (But I think they are still "D3" guys based on the spirit of the OP's question -- although the OP may not consider them "milers" even though they competed in the mile as collegians.)
Karl Paranya holds the DIII record at 3:57.6. He went to the trials twice, in 1996 and 2000, but never to the Olympics. This thread got me curious and I have been searching for some more information. His DIII 1500 record is 3:39.84 and it occurred on 7/13/97 in Stuttgart, Germany. Does anyone know anything about that meet? I can't find anything about it.
