While I'm totally on board with your cause, I have to ask: Why did you include video of Mary Decker running the 1500?

Why would you put a clip of a women's 1500 in a video claiming the mile's superiority?

I know what they run in college and 109 meters is a few meters, and they run the 1500 in the olympics, every four years. We need to keep interest in track year round. Look at all the excitment with all the indoor sub fours. Oh yeah that is not a "good reason" it's a dumb reason.

@gonzalesclan4 Colleges don't run the 1600m, high schools do. Colleges run the 1500m and for good reason -- its the Olympic distance!

Come on college coaches quit being so dumb, yes dumb. Track needs all the help it can get and all you have to do is add a few meters to a race.
