Milestones and Momentum: Kerr's Record Breaking Sprint Sets Stage for Glasgow Josh Kerr shattered a 27 year old world mile record at the London Diamond League, clocking 3 minutes, 42.
66 seconds to leave the crowd of 60,000 in awe. The Edinburgh middle distance ace broke Hicham El Guerrouj's mark set in 1999 by nearly half a second.
Kerr's achievement is all the more impressive given his previous best was just 3:45. 34, set two years ago.
