Fogg Runs First Sub 4-Minute Mile In Drake History

Australian makes Drake history and becomes the 75th Australian to break the 4-minute mark.

Drake University's Adam Fogg made history Saturday afternoon at the Iowa State Classic as he became the first Drake University student-athlete to ever record a sub 4-minute mile.
 
Fogg, who was already the school record holder in the event, bettered that and shattered the 4-minute barrier in 3:59.03. He finished second in the event behind only fellow Australian and All-American performer Jack Anstey.
 
The performance made him just the 75th Australian to break the 4-minute mark in the mile.
 
He was trailed in the event by teammate Ryan Schweizer who was sixth in 4:08.03.
 
Also on the track, Victor Peka took third in the 200 meters in season-best of 22:05.
 
For the women's squad, Yinka Ajayi had two top-5 finishes as she took third in the 400 meters in 55.07 and fourth in the 200 meters in 24.88.
 
Freshman Brooke Mullins also notched a third-place showing in the 3,000 meters. She crossed the finish line in 9:55.88 in her first collegiate competition.
 
In the sprints, Keaton Kester qualified for the finals of the 60 meters and finished seventh in 7.83.
 
This weekend's Iowa State Classic was the Bulldogs' next-to-last competition before the MVC Championship. A small contingent of Bulldogs will compete at next weekend's SDSU Last Chance Meet in its final tune-up before the MVC Championship.
