Yared Nuguse Dominates Kentucky Dream Mile With 4:06.30, US No. 4 Effort!


Yared Nuguse came prepared to run a career best mile on Friday at the Kentucky Dream Mile

The DuPont Manual (Ky.) High senior and University of Notre Dame signee went a blistering 4:06.30 at Louisville St. Xavier High's track Friday to claim the nation's No. 4 time and a new event record. It marked a nine-second improvement from this same race last year when he finished second. 

Nuguse, who's sported 1:55.10 800m speed this spring, never really was tested, taking the finish 13 seconds ahead of second-place Dylan Allen of Louisville Male (4:19.23) and third-place Trevor Warren of Louisville Trinity (4:19.75). 

In the girls race, Louisville Male junior Kaitlyn Lacy surprised defending champion Michaela Reinhart of Lexington Catholic by out kicking her at the finish for Kentucky No. 1 time of 4:54.60. Reinhart was second in 4:55.30.
