Congratulations to Tommy on breaking 4, something all milers would love to do, but few have done. For those that don't know, Tommy really came on his 5th year of college, finishing 2nd at the Big East indoor in the 1000 meters and then breaking the school record in the 1500 meters with a 3:45, about a 4:02 equivalent. Since graduating, Tommy has really focused on his running, training much of the time in California. Looking at his online running log has showed how dedicated he has become with his running and the results are paying off. Good luck Tommy.
Nice double for Tommy Schmitz at the 2010 Jan 30 U of Washington Invitational mile in $:01.52 and 3,000m in 8:20.95
