Dage Minors has become the first Bermudian to break the 4-minute mile, joining less than 2,000 people in world history to accomplish such a feat.
Minors finished the race is 3min 59.35sec, setting a new Bermuda record.
“I’m very grateful I was able to accomplish it,” Minors told Bernews.
“Mentally, I hadn’t convinced myself I was capable of it but my coach [Zacc Emerson] thought I could do it.
“Training has been going really over the past few months, and it was an opportunity to test myself.
“I’m pleased with where I am in the season, and hopefully, I can build it.”
“Hopefully, it can inspire another young Bermudian to run a sub-four-minute mile, and we won’t have to wait so long.
“I’ll look to have some fun for the rest of the season now that monkey is off my back!”
