Alan Webb, American Record

3:46.91.

Flotrack.com has the video.

How big was this? The LetsRun message board crashed multiple times. Flotrack's website had a few traffic issues (or at least for me it did). I hazard a guess that were this on TV, the ratings would have been significant.

But I'll bet you a nickel it gets no mention on ESPN today.

UPDATE: My local paper ran full results of the Madrid GP meet but didn't mention Webb at all. So much for the contention that switching back to imperial distances will solve all of track's problems.
