Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4745787, member: 6620"] The Bench's Domerduck was in attendance in TrackTown for the meet and he filed several reports on the meet. (See the "Olympic" section of ND Nation), but here's some information on the mile. Very exciting for an Irish fan to follow ND alums Naguse and long-distance runner Molly Seidel, who is also gearing up for Paris. "The only two times better than yesterday's top two were back in the last century on July 7, 1999 when Moroccan El Guerrouj edged Kenyan Ngeny. El Guerrouj has 8 different times on the top 25 list. Ingebrigtsen has three times with his 1st when he won in the mile in Eugene in 2021, then last year in Oslo when he beat that time in a close race with Australian Oliver Hoare. Prior to yesterday those three times were the only recent times with the previous being the 2014 Eugene win by Souleiman and 2007 previous American record by Alan Webb which Nuguse beat by 3 seconds. "So yesterday's six runners on the list is the only time that one race had more than two runners make the list. Obviously it was the top 6 in yesterday's Bowerman Mile which included U of Oregon runner Cole Hocker who is now #25. He is the 4th American on the list behind #4 Nuguse, #10 Webb, and # 17 Steve Scott who ran a 3 minute 47.69 in 1982. just missing then world record which was held by Brit Sebastian Cole. Lots of history when you talk about the mile and an incredible list of runners which Yared is now near the top." [/QUOTE]
