SUB 5 MINUTE MILERS
1. CONNOR VACHON- 4:38.2 2024, 4:44.4 2022, world record holder
At the inaugural CMM elite race in 2022, Connor Vachon became not only the first CMM runner to break 5, but also shattered the previous milk mile world record. He then took a year long hiatus before returning to the first ever EAST VS WEST elite race in 2024, where he laid down the most dominant CMM performance of all time. Winning the elite heat by nearly 30 seconds, breaking his own world record, and becoming the first man to run a milk mile in the 4:30's- A performance that solidifies Connor as the GOAT of this event.
2. BEN RICHARDS- 4:52.8 2022
In the same race as Connor in 2022, Ben Richards battled valiantly to become the second milk miler to break 5, as well as going under the previous record. Known for his pre-race antics and controversial chugging style (which led many to plead for his disqualification), Ben was a fan favorite as well as fierce competitor.
3. CALEB JAREMA- 4:55.18 2023
Cocky yet capable, Caleb won a tactical 2023 elite mile race with a cheeky sit and kick win in the last 100 meters over former teammate Ben Richards. Although most of the race was quite pedestrian, Caleb's foot-speed over the last 400 meters proved to be enough to easily get him under the 5 minute barrier and cement himself in CMM history.
