someone should compile a list of no-rabbit world records.

As many of you understand, based on your comments, this was a performance ahead of its time. I had the pleasure of seeing Prefontaine run, in a dual meet at UCLA, when I was in high school. He destroyed the field, as Ryun did in this race. A man among boys. As a kid who ran the two mile on dirt tracks in the late sixties and early seventies, I revered Ryun as I revered Pre. They meant everything to us. They were simply beautiful.

In my opinion this is the greatest mile world record performance. Walker, Coe, Morceli
and El G may have run faster but they sure as hell didn't run those records completely solo on a cinder track.
-
@writerjmd thats roughly equivalent to 10.8 for the 100m! damn u aint kidding thats some raw speed right there. pre didnt have nearly ryuns speed, he just had better long distance strength
-
@mervrun Good points. Ryun could run with and beat todays best. He was a freak of nature.
-
prefontaine is the best distance runner EVER period!
-
@mervrun agreed. The race that alan webb set the hs record, El Guerrouj ran barely faster than that with 2 rabbits,a better track and modern training

Now remember kids....this all started from cross country ;)

Greatest run in college football history.by jermsdiggity899,588 views
NO RABBIT...NO PACER OF ANY KIND....A DIRT TRACK.....HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK WINDED....JIM AND PRE RULED THE AMERICAN RUNNING WORLD IN THE 60'S AND 70'S .I was at the Dream Mile in 71 and was in awe of Ryun. I never got to see Pre run in person but his Legend will live on...

I agree! Not to take anything away from Webb, but Ryun ran under very different conditions...
