What Americans have ever run a sub four minute mile?
A lot. Around 300 according to this. "Roger Bannister of England ran the first recorded sub-four-minute mile when he posted a 3:59.4 in 1954. The world record for the mile has since shifted down to 3:43.13 held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, but running a mile under four minutes still remains an elusive accomplishment. True is one of only an estimated three hundred Americans to have ever run a mile under the four-minute mark." http://thedartmouth.com/2007/06/22/sports/true/
