Usain Bolt's world record for the 100m is 9.58seconds, which has him running at a faster average speed than in any other sprint world records.

The average speeds for the sprints are

100m - Usain Bolt, 9.58 seconds - 10.438m/s 37.578 kmph

200m - Usain Bolt, 19.19 seconds - 10.422m/s 37.519 kmph

400m - Michael Johnson, 43.18 seconds - 9.263m/s 33.348 kmph

Though Usain Bolt did run a 150m race where he covered the last 100m in 8.70 seconds, the fastest ever recorded. With an average speed of 11.494 m/s or 41.379 kmph

Since a velocity of a mile per minute would mean 60 miles per hour, such a feat is not possible for a human (top athletes achieve a velocity of 43 km per hour, and that only for 100m sprints).
