The previous mark of 3:46.91, set by Alan Webb, stood for 16 years.
At a press conference the day before the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, three milers—Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway, andand Cole Hocker of the U.S., sat on a dais and answered questions about possible record attempts.
Nuguse, who swung wide on the final stretch and almost drew even with Ingebrigtsen, took almost three seconds off of Webb’s mark, running 3:43.97.The world record of 3:43.13, held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, dates back to a race in Rome in July 1999. Noah Ngeny of Kenya ran 3:43.40 in the same race.
At the finish, George Mills of Great Britain was third in 3:47.65, Mario Garcia Romo of Spain was fourth in 3:47.69, and Reynold Cheruiyot of Kenya was fifth in 3:48.06. Hocker was sixth in 3:48.08, taking almost 3 seconds of his personal best. The top eight finishers all ran PRs. Dathan Ritzenhein, Nuguse’s coach with the On Athletics Club in Boulder, said he knew something big was in store. Did he see that coming?
