| Description: | Before 15,000 track fans at the All-America Track and Field Invitational meet in Berkeley, California, 19 year old Kansas freshman Jim Ryun sets a new world record for the mile of three minutes, fifty-one and three-tenths seconds - more than two full seconds off the old record. He's the first American to hold the record since Glenn Cunningham, 32 years ago! Establishing shot of the jam-packed (jammed, packed) stadium. MS - Jim Ryun on the track ready to take his place in line. High Angle Shot - The runners take off and they’re all out to win. MS - Jim Ryun pulls up from behind and he takes the lead.
