Men's Mile (Championship - Grant Fisher 3:59.38! 7th high schooler to break 4!)
Jun 5, 2015
Grant Fisher of Grand Blanc, Mich., became the seventh high schooler to break the coveted 4:00 mile at the Nike Festival of Miles. Fisher stayed patient throughout the race, coming through the halfway point at 2:00 and 3:00 at the bell lap. He moved swiftly passed the field and kicked hard to finish third in 3:59.38 behind Jordan McNamara in 3:58.81 and Tyler Pennel in 3:58.99. What is even more remarkable is that Fisher matched Matthew Maton's time of 3:59.38 from this season's Oregon Twilight. This is the first season in history that more than one high school boy has broken 4:00 in the mile.
