Josh Kerr Shatters 27-Year Mile Record | Toledo News

Josh Kerr just shattered the men’s mile world record with a blistering 3:42.66 in London, ending a 27-year drought since Hicham El Guerrouj’s legendary time.

Already a reigning 1500m world champ and Olympic silver medalist, Kerr’s mile mastery cements him as the premier middle-distance force — especially against rivals like Jakob Ingebrigtsen. This historic leap, echoing Roger Bannister’s 1954 breakthrough, proves Kerr is in a league of his own. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
