An American middle distance record did fall this weekend. Just not the one everybody expected.
Fifteen hours after Cooper Teare and Cole Hocker came oh-so-close to breaking the American record in the mile in Chicago, little-known Shane Streich of the Atlanta Track Club ran 2:16.16 this morning at the American Track League Eastern Indoors in Louisville to break Bryce Hoppel’s year-old American indoor 1000-meter record of 2:16.27.
