After running 4:00.28 at the Michigan state meet this weekend, high school star Grant Fisher will take another stab at the four-minute mile barrier this weekend in the Nike Festival of Miles. 

 

The recent Grand Blanc High School graduate will attempt to break four minutes in the Saint Louis Track Club Men’s Mile that includes Jordan McNamara, Jack Bolas, Tommy Schmitz, Stephen Pifer and many other notable professionals, according to the Nike Festival of Miles board of directors.

 

If Fisher completes the goal, he will be the seventh high schooler ever to break four minutes in the mile. 

 

This weekend Fisher came close to the elusive mark after running 4:00.28 in the 1600m and 4:01.66 at the full mile. He followed the performance with a 8:53.41 in the 3200m at the Michigan state meet. In his attempt to break the mile mark, the race directors at Rockford High School set up another finish line tape for Fisher to cross nine meters after the original 1600m finish, MileSplit’s Brandon Miles reports. Running solo the entire race, Fisher just barely missed the mark, but the time now stands as a new Michigan state record.
