This is an interesting list, its not necessarily better to be on
the top or the bottom. I'm really only interested in people who have
broken 4:00 minutes or the metric equivalent 3:41.45 or T&F's 3:42.2
here are two great lists
sub 4 milers
and
sub 4 milers chronologically
If you are on those lists please submit me your HS pr and I will add you
to this list. Thanks
