Josh Kerr Shatters 27-Year Mile Record | New Orleans News
Description
British phenom Josh Kerr just shattered the 1500m world record with a blistering 3:42.66 at a London Diamond League meet, dethroning Hicham El Guerrouj’s 27-year-old mark. Outpacing U.S. rival Yared Nuguse by nearly three seconds, Kerr celebrated with a victory lap as the crowd roared. Focused solely on the mile this season, he described the final meters as pure magic—gliding, silent, unstoppable. This isn’t just a personal triumph; it’s a seismic moment for middle-distance running, marking the first time this record has changed hands in nearly three decades. From Bannister’s 4-minute barrier to Kerr’s 3:42.66, history is being rewritten.
