Charlie's new Mile PB

Monday 30th May 2016

Charlie Grice has been in action in the Diamond League event (Prefontaine Classic) in Eugene USA 27th/28th May.

Charlie won the b (National) mile improving his PB by a whopping two seconds to record a time of 3:52.64. In club terms he has now passed Mark Rowland 3:52.9 mile to move 2nd on our all time list. He sits behind Ovett's 3:48 mile which is our club record and was the world record....for just one day only!

After his race he was world number 1 at the mile for just half an hour or so until the main (Bowerman) mile raced. He is, however, ranked 4th in the world over the mile after the weekend.

With the Olympics looming, his timing couldn't be better.
