Non-Championship Notable Accomplishments
Colorado sub four minute mile
On August 3, 2020, Joe Klecker and Olli Hoare became the first people to ever break 4 minutes in the mile on Colorado soil. The long streak of no sub-4-minute miles is attributed to the elevation of the state.
2023 Boston Marathon
In the 2023 Boston Marathon Hellen Obiri won the race in a time of 2:21:38.
