Many have tried. All have come up short since 1996. 

Nothing speaks to this record like the endless attempts to break it. Last year's near-conquest of it by Cade Flatt -- he ran 1:46.48 -- only reinforced the idea that it might stand for a long time to come.

And really, you should read the story of how it all came to be in the first place.
