25 Years ago today

The greatest sports event I've ever seen live was 25 years ago today when Eamonn Coghlan broke 4 minutes for the mile as a master (over 40).  It was EPIC, the crowd was crazy loud!

From his Wiki page:

In 1994, on the Harvard University indoor track, Eamonn Coghlan became the first man over age 40 to run a sub-four-minute mile. He was 41 at the time. Coghlan ran the sub-four-minute mile as a "Special Attraction" during the middle of the Massachusetts State High School Championship meet. Athletes surrounded the banked track clapping and pounding out the rhythm of :59 sec. splits on the fast Harvard track.

A couple of lousy pictures I took:
