## Caption

With today the 72nd anniversary of the first sub 4 minute mile run by Roger Bannister, here are the four newest additions to the list of uwtrack runners who have accomplished the feat (disclaimer: all have broken 4 before wearing the UW uniform; also another on the current roster broke 4 as a redshirt).

3️⃣1️⃣ men in Husky uniforms have broken 4 minutes in the mile, starting with Greg Gibson in 1974. These four make it  2️⃣5️⃣ Huskies to have done so since Andy Powell became the UW men’s coach at the start of the 2018-19 school year.

Clockwise from top left:
