An Interview With America's Unkown 3:56.00 Miler- Steve Sherer

Posted Thursday, February 7, 2008 -
LetsRun.com’s Robert Johnson caught up with 26-year old American Steve Sherer on Tuesday night (Feb 5) with a half-hour phone call.

Sherer certainly isn’t a house-hold name. We’ll admit to having no idea as to who he was prior to last weekend. On February 4th, running at the University of Washington, Sherer turned heads and got not only our attention but probably the attention of all American distance running fans when he broke 4 minutes in the mile for the first time by running a sparkling 3:56.00 (race results here race video here). or

Sherer was a tennis player early in high school and didn’t go out for track until...

Note from RunnerSpace - Nice interview guys (letsrun.com).

I had to point out this double that Steve ran last year. This is when I knew he had some "Sherious" potential...
