Fastest Jewish Miler- Russell Wolf Brown

Move over Adam Goucher- The fastest Jewish Miler to ever run four laps is now Russell Wolf Brown.

The former Stanford University stand-out and Oregon Track Club member has been quietly waiting for the Maccabiah Organization to approach him.  "It has always been a goal of mine to run in Maccabiah for my Mom's brother, Aunt and Cousins who live in Israel." 

It has been confirmed that Russell's 1-mile time of 3:51:45 is indeed the fastest time a Jewish person has ever recorded.  Adam Goucher's previous best of 3:54:17 in 1999 was long regarded as the top jewish miler.

Now Russell will be enjoying some of the spotlight as a hero in the eyes of many Israeli children that will be rooting for him this summer against Australia's Steve Solomon and Israel's Dustin Emrani (see below).

Russell should enjoy the attention while he can- There are a few Jewish high school milers that seem to have lots of promise.  They include Tal Braude 4:16 (also confirmed for the 19th Maccabiah) and Ben Malone the recent winner of the Millrose Games in 4:12.
