It seems like 3:55 is the new 4:00 when it comes to the mile as more and more runners at all levels are getting closer and closer to breaking that 4-minute barrier. 475 U.S. milers have broken the four-minute barrier. As we turn the page into a new year and a new track season the question comes up, what high schoolers will break four in the mile in 2017? Below is a list of 13 athletes I believe have a legitimate shot at breaking four.
Sam Worley- 4:04
Casey Clinger- 4:05
Cooper Teare- 4:06
Noah Affolder- 4:07
Brandon McGorty- 4:08
