Overlooked somewhat amidst all the great Golden Gala performances was a 3:50.69 mile for 18-year-old Cornelius Chirchir, #2 all-time world junior.
The only other junior miler to break 3:51, Noah Ngeny, went on to run the second fastest mile in history and win the Olympic 1500 meters gold medal in Sydney. For those keeping score, Chirchir -- who has also run 3:33 this year -- is about nine months younger than Alan Webb.
