Running in the Bowerman Mile in the Prefontaine Classic, he just ran a 3:43:97.

He lowered the record of 3:46.91 set by Alan Webb in 2007.

Nuguse finished second to Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who ran the third-fastest mile in history (3:43.73). The world record is 3:43.13 by Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999.

Nuguse’s best outdoor mile time coming into Saturday was 3:53.34 from last August. The mile is rarely contested on the top international level since the distance is not on the Olympic or world championships program.

Domerduck....Hope you got to enjoy the in-person viewing. Man, that is fast, faster, fastest (for Americans). And Ingebrigtsen is one tough guy.
