Jarrett is my cousin's ex-BF. Good guy. Congrats to him.

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.

What you lacked in foot speed you made up with endurance

I could only dream of mile times that fast. Had to settle for 26 6:10s instead.

I been around and competed in track my whole life, never had I witnessed a sub 4 mile. 1. It isn't raced often. 2. It I isn't cared about in this region of America. Jarrett is a class act, and very easy to root for. I'm very proud he was the individual to do this!

The fastest mile I have seen run in person was a 4:04 when I was a freshman in high school in Texas at Klein High a guy from Klein named Jerry Labonte

---I remember Jim Ryan running in the 100 yard dash at the SW Relays---did he also run the mile??

[CajunEXPRESS]

Geez Boomer it is quicker to google than to ask the question. He was the first high schooler to do a sub four mile.
