Yared Nuguse has made history again, setting a new indoor mile world record at the 2025 Millrose Games. The Louisville native clocked an astounding 3:47.22, beating the previous record of 3:47.38 established by Jakob Ingebrigtsen in 2022, a difference of .15 seconds.

The race at The Armory in New York City saw Nuguse seize control early, maintaining a hearty pace before surging ahead in the last lap.

Nuguse, an Olympic medalist and Notre Dame alumnus, has been a strong force in American distance running. In 2023, he set the American record in the mile and followed it up with incredible showings on the global stage.

“I think the biggest takeaway is just don’t be afraid to go do it,” Nuguse said of his race to RunnersWorld.com. “I am confident I am that strong.”
