    Three US HSers have gone sub-4 in the span of 2 days as Rheinhardt Harrison, who ran 4:01 as HS sophomore, got the job done in a HS-only race in Florida by running 3:59.33 despite erratic pacing where the 2nd lap was just 63.

    For the first time ever 2 high schoolers went sub-4 in the mile in the same high school race and for just the second time ever a US high school junior has gone sub-4.
