Josh Kerr Shatters Mile Record | Sacramento News

British phenom Josh Kerr just rewrote history, smashing the 1500m world record with a blistering 3:42.66 at a Diamond League meet in London — edging out the 27-year-old mark held by Hicham El Guerrouj. The 28-year-old’s electrifying run, fueled by a roaring crowd and a fierce rivalry with Jakob Ingebrigtsen, capped a season of resurgence for middle-distance running. Though he missed Olympic gold in Paris, his silver medal and record-breaking mile cement his legacy — especially as the mile, historically revered since Bannister’s 4-minute barrier, now pulses with modern speed. With no major championships this year, Kerr focused solely on this distance, turning his personal best into a global milestone.
