Might be tough, the IAAF recognizes and sponsors mile events, just not at the
World Championships (The Olympics does not). The IAAF also shows a mile
starting line on its diagram of a standard 400 m track layout, with details for
all starting points, relay zones, steeplechase details etc. The current mile
record was neither won on American soil nor by an American (per Wikipedia).

Subject: [USMA 41] Re: Running Backwards Lengthy discussion on metric reddit.
The IAAF is now accepting mile qualifying times to run the 1500 m at world
championship level, and USATF accepts them by appeal only for US Olympic
Trials. At most only the mile and 1500 m are affected. However, athletes feel
running the mile is suboptimal training for running the 1500 m at international
level vs. their coaches who are too old to run for themselves. The athletes
are quite negative, fully as negative as their coaches are positive. No clue
as to whether NCAA would ratify this recommendation. They have voted down
several (very) similar recommendations in recent years. It seems to be a
perennial, although the IAAF mile qualifiers is new. From: "Ressel, Howard R

Subject: [USMA 35] Running Backwards Hi, everyone, The mile might return to
college track and field sports:
http://www.flotrack.org/article/38609-breaking-mile-voted-to-replace-1500-at-ncaa-outdoor-championships
If you are to believe the head coach at Southern Utah University, the switch
to internationally recognised distances such as the 1500 metre is the cause of
the decline of public interest in college athletics. Re-introducing the mile
will turn this around. Does he want to introduce the 100-yard dash later? High
jumps, long jumps and pole vaults in feet and inches again? Weightlifting in
pounds? According to the article I linked to, there is a lot of support for
re-introducing the mile among the sporting organisations but not so much from
the athletes. Depending on the meetings of the national governing bodies this
change won’t occur until 2017 at the earliest. Best wishes from Melbourne,
Australia, 41ºC today! Peter Goodyear
