Fastest Mile ever run in Suffolk County

[samdee]

Last Saturday night at St Anthonys a field was assembled by Kevin Tschirhart attempting to break 4 minutes in the mile on Suffolk county soil.

It was a perfect night to race. With the Foundation DJs playing and a loyal crowd of "whose who" of track fans ringing lane 6; a field of gunslingers went at it.

They went through the 400 in 57 the 800 in 1 58 the 1200 at 3 :03 and the end result:

Chris Spooner 4:04.08 fastest mile in Suffolk County history
Kevin Tschirhart 4:05.18
Michael Hendry 4:09.27
Quinn Rasemon 4:13.30 ( great job by Quinn who chased the whole way)

The next attempt at breaking 4 minutes will be Wednesday July 14th at Hauppauge High School.

Dont miss a chance to support Long Island Track

Isn't Hauppauge a real windy track? From what I've heard it's normally very windy there. Purely speculation though.

I don't see why an attempt isn't made on White plain's high quality track. it may not be suffolk county but it is certainly a fast fast track.

the organizers are all from long island so it would be quite a trek to go all the way up to Westchester for one big race. st. Anthony's is comparable to white plains anyway.

so why move from St. Anthony's? anybody have any info on the pacers at the race? just curious.

Edit: also, is anyone else in the next attempt? thats a great PR for spooner but he runs about 2:59 for 1200 so the idea of adding on another 409 meters at the same pace seems far-fetched even with paces.
