Ryun’s Mile “Fantastic”
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON.
“At 19, it’s fantastic’—this was P. G. Snell's reaction yesterday to the mile run in 3min 53.75ec by the American, J. Ryun, in Los Angeles last Sunday. It bettered Snell’s United States record of 3min 54.95ec.
Snell, however, still considered the East German, J. May, had the greater chance of being first to run the distance in 3min 50sec or better.
