Josh Kerr crushes 27-year-old world mile record after delivering on bold promise in London

British runner Josh Kerr ran the fastest mile in history Saturday, clocking 3 minutes, 42.66 seconds to shatter the men's mile world record at the London Diamond League. Kerr's historic run broke Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj's mark of 3:43.13, set in Rome in 1999, ending a record that had stood for 27 years, according to The Associated Press. The 28-year-old then took a celebratory lap around London Stadium after cementing his place in track and field history. SABASTIAN SAWE FINISHES LONDON MARAT
