ALL-TIME PREFONTAINE CLASSIC SUB-4:00 MILE LIST
1975—2025
original compilation by Scott S. Davis,
updated by E. Garry Hill & Howard Willman
The Pre Classic’s Bowerman Mile continues to be the greatest race in the United States. No other American meet has seen as many sub-4:00 performances. What follows is the All-Time Sub-4:00 list for the annual affair at historic and now reimagined Hayward Field. Note: the ’19 meet was held at Stanford while Hayward was being reimagined and there was no meet at all in ’20 because of COVID considerations.
Note that from ’10 on the results of the International Mile have also been included. This race is not the Pre Classic or Bowerman Mile race but rather a second competition staged as part of the meet (except ’19, ’23 & ’24; the ’22 race was contested at 1500m). Marks from this race have been denoted with * on the placing.
