Gehrmann Seeks Four Minute Mile Breakthrough At Millrose
Don Gehrmann, Wisconsin junior, bursts into spotlight as America’s top hope for a four minute mile after a 4 09.5 indoor mile at Millrose. He edges European challengers Willy Slykhuis and Ingvar Bengtsson, but says he’s disappointed, aiming for 4 06. He impressed trainers with a 4 06.11 practice mile, then led the Wanamaker Mile pack before finishing 400.5 in the stretch behind Slykhuis. Coaches say he’s three to five years from peak, but Olympic dreams loom.
