## Caption

Sports icon Roger Bannister died Saturday at the age of 88. 
Some athletes change the game. Even fewer change history. On May 6, 1954, Bannister, a gawky medical student from St. Mary’s College, did both when he lunged across the finish line at Oxford, England's Iffley Road track in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds, becoming the first person to break the 4-minute mile. He will always be remembered for his remarkable achievements and lasting legacy.
