How fast can you run a mile?

9 minutes?

8 minutes?

7 minutes?

Steve Scott is an amazing man. He is well-known for being one of the greatest milers in American history. In his career, he ran 136 sub-4 minute miles (more than any other runner in history)!!!!

That is so fast. Wow.

And he came to our school. It was an HONOR to meet him. He gave a talk at flag salute. He talked about how you don’t have to come in first place to be a winner. And I agree. There were many races and championships where he did not come in first place. He may have missed the mark by hundreths of a second. And that did not make him a loser at all. He is a total champion in my opinion!
