These Eight Athletes Joined The Sub-4 Club Last Weekend
Eight athletes across the country who broke the 4:00 mile barrier for the first time last weekend.
This past weekend proved to be a wildly successful one for first-time sub-4:00 milers, as eight men across the country cracked the hallowed barrier for the first time.
From athletes who had come close before to those who had never even sniffed sub-4:00, the newcomers to the club ran the gamut of expected to totally surprising.
Here are the eight, with accompanying race videos where available:

Amon Kemboi crushes the Campbell school record for the men's mile by nearly seven seconds with a time of 3:59.52!
Kemboi's time is currently the third fastest in the nation and gives him the mile run title at the Bob Pollock Invitational! #RollHumps pic.twitter.com/bIOB6NrrXZ
