Cunningham Dominates as Finest Mile Racer in History
The article argues Glenn Cunningham is the most consistent miler in the United States and perhaps the world, ahead of rivals Bill Bonthron Lovelock Beccali. It notes Cunningham’s sub 4 1 3 minute mile times, his few losses indoors to Venzke and Bonthron, and his dominance over a two year span in the US and Europe. It also discusses the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America track meet, Eastern dominance, and the absence of West Coast teams at the NCAA championships. It mentions Yale’s 1924 win, and UCLAs bid with Jimmy Lavage and a one mile relay record pursuit by Stanford.
