The whole Truth about The Mile Run Jim Ryun

Member of the U.S. House of Representatives
from Kansas's 2nd district
High school athletic achievements
In 1964 Ryun became the first high school runner to break four minutes
for the mile, running 3:59.0 as a junior at East High School in
Wichita, Kansas.
Established the high school and U.S. open mile record 3:55.3 as a
senior in 1965, a record that stood as the high school record for 36
years until broken by Alan Webb's 3:53.43 in 2001. It is also the last
time an American male high school athlete broke an open American
record in a major outdoor track and field event. In this record race
he beat the reigning Olympic champion and former world record holder
Peter Snell of New Zealand.
His 3:58.3 to win the mile at the 1965 Kansas High School State Meet
is still the record for the fastest time ever in a race that includes
only high school competitors.
Today he still holds five of the six fastest mile times in U.S. high
school history (all sub-four minute), with Alan Webb's record race
holding the other spot.
With five sub-four-minute miles he is the only high school athlete in
history with more than two such times. (Alan Webb has two, while Marty
Liquori, Tim Danielson, and Lukas Verzbicas have one each.)
He is the only U.S. athlete to run a four-minute mile as a high school junior.
After his junior year he qualified for the 1964 Summer Olympics in the
1500. He made it to the semifinal round, where he was eliminated.
As a high school senior he was voted the fourth best miler in the
world by the experts at Track & Field News.
ESPN.com has him rated as the number 1 high school athlete of all
time, beating out people such as Tiger Woods and LeBron James.[3]
Post high school athletic career
In 1966, at age nineteen, Ryun set world records in the mile and the
half-mile runs, and received Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsman
of the Year" award, and the James E. Sullivan Award as the nation's
top amateur athlete, the ABC's Wide World of Sports Athlete of the
Year, and was voted Track & Field News' Athlete of the Year as the
world's best track & field athlete. Ironically, Ryun did all of this
before he was permitted to run for the school he attended, University
of Kansas, since NCAA rules at the time did not allow freshmen to
compete in NCAA competition. In 1967 Ryun ran a world record in the
indoor half mile (1:48.3) and outdoors lowered his world-record time
in the mile from 3:51.3 to 3:51.1, a record that stood for almost
eight years. That same year he set the world record for the 1500
meters in 3:33.1, running his last lap in a blazing 53.3 seconds and
his final 1,200 meters in an amazing 2:46.6.

In NCAA competition Ryun was the 1967 NCAA outdoor mile champion. He
was also the NCAA indoor mile champion in 1967, 1968, and 1969, and in
1968 doubled back to win the 1968 NCAA indoor two-mile (3.2 km)
championship race (handing Gerry Lindgren his only NCAA championship
loss). Ryun's 1969 win in the mile helped the Kansas Jayhawks win the
NCAA indoor track championship that year. With his University of
Kansas teammates he also anchored a world record in the sprint medley
relay (3:15.2) and twice in the distance medley relay (9:33.8 at the
Drake Relays in 1967 and then 9:33.0 at the Kansas Relays in 1969,
Ryan's 3:57.6 anchor leg for the mile being his last collegiate race
on his home track).

Today, over 40 years after he set them, Ryun still holds the American
junior (19 and under) records at 880 yd (1:44.9), 800 m (1:44.3),
1,500 m (3:36.1), and two miles (8:25.1). In all, he broke the
American record for the mile four times: once as a high school senior
(3:55.3 on 27 June 1965), twice as a college freshman (3:53.7 on 4
June 1966 & 3:51.3 on 17 July 1966), and once as a college sophomore
(3:51.1 on 23 June 1967).

Ryun participated in the 1964, 1968, and 1972 Summer Olympics, but the
gold medal eluded him. Having completely recovered from mononucleosis
in the spring of 1968, he won a silver medal in the 1500 meters that
autumn in the high altitude of Mexico City, losing to Kip Keino from
Kenya, whose attempt failed into High School mile portion 4:10 and
4:24 W
