Miles Batty started his running career in Sandy Utah at Jordan High. He then took his talents to BYU where he won 2 NCAA Championships and set an NCAA Indoor Mile record. Now running professionally, he has taken his talents to the streets of Australia, where this weekend he ran a 3:49.2 mile.
In a race that saw Olympian Ryan Gregson win in 3:48, Batty used a strong finish to come in 2nd and finish with a final time of 3:49.2.
His time is nearly the fastest ever run by an American, though road miles don't count for track records.

we also recently interviewed miles about setting goals, and you can find the link for that below.
