4 minute MILE barrier broken on Louisiana Soil

---So if I put up $100 and the rest put up $100 apiece---Well all who want to get into this

If he ran the 100--I get all the $100s from all that entered---say there are 10 entered they get $10 apiece!!!

So if I lose, I lose $100, but if I win, I only win $10. Who in their right mind would take that sort of betting line?

Boomer....yeah he would take that bet.

He out-kicked me the last half mile his Jr. Year in high school to win a 5k in Rayne, obviously some time ago as I couldn't approach that type of run these days.

ULXRunner will tell you it never took much to outkick me, though, and he'd be right.

We had Jarrett run in our Erath 5K 2 years ago when he was dating my niece. He destroyed Kevin Castille's course record. He's that good.

As a side note, he has a few ties to the local area. His mom lives in Broussard. He's also a very talented accordion player.

----OK before the bet maybe you should read this---
Out of selfish curiosity, I asked Jim what his best times were in the 100, 200 and 400. His relay splits are well-documented, but I didn't know he ran an open 100-yard dash as a KU sophomore. He tells the time in the interview.

Don't bet Boomer anyone. Googled Ryan and he did run a 100 (10.2) Blaine Barrileaux's dad was in the race. Go figure!

As for sub-4 minute miles, 4:00.00 is almost a dime a dozen these days. 4:00.00 was the last preliminary time to get into the NCAA Indoor final at Arkansas this year. 26-28 milers broke the Barrier indoors this year and a bunch had to stay home.
