Jim Ryun becomes the first American to break the 4-minute mile record with a run of 3.59 for East High School in Wichita, Kan., in 1964. He went on to break the record three more times while in high school. Ryun, now a congressman from Kansas, still holds the all-time high school record. Jerry Clark, a staff photographer for the Wichita Eagle and Beacon at the time, recalls when everyone realized Ryun would break the record, fans started moving towards the track and the cheers were overwhelming.
