Over the last couple of years, the mile showcased some of the best performances in history. Just last year, there were five boys who rewrote the record books in this event by breaking four minutes.
Even though we are in the middle of the 2023 indoor season, there were hundreds of boys who set new personal bests in this event. Based on the times posted last year, there are over 1,000 boys who improved their performance from just a year ago.
Lucien Beardsley of Gorham shaved nearly two minutes off of his mark from last indoor season. He now has a new personal best of 5:13 which he ran at the end of December as his season opener.
There were nine boys who had over a minute of improvement and roughly 140 boys this year dropped 30 seconds off their previous mark from 2022.
Check out the list below to see which boys have improved in the mile during the 2023 season.
