Just using http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_mileok.htm , it looks like the 1500 is the enroute time for a mile race. The first four in the mile race are:
3:49.42 Sydney Maree
3:49.90 Steve Cram
3:50.01 John Walker
3:50.64 Graham Williamson

I'm guessing that Williamson's enroute hand time made it to the 1500 list, since he was leading at that point, but no time was taken for the others. Just a guess, though.

I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for - it seems you want the names and performances for specific positions in certain races because you somehow know these will all be below a limit of 3:40.00 ? Maybe I misunderstood ?

You wanted the names and times from DN Galan in 1984 for 5th and 7th - the results are in here - https://www.milesplit.com/meets/177172/results/309451. However, this shows Hakan Kaneberg was 5th in 3:41.43, which doesn't meet you criteria ?!?

The TSB Edinburgh result from 1994 is in here...

https://newspaperarchive.com/colorad...-09-1994-p-28/


1. Steve Holman (USA) 3:38.30.
2. Mall Bruton (Ireland) 3:38.89.
3. Graham Hood (Can) 3:39.12;

That would be Niall Bruton, not Mall.

Hi ianb, Firstly thanks for showing some interest in this project. The project is actually a Sub 3:40.00 Chronicle, showing races where this was achieved. I think 'milesplit' may have it wrong and Kaneberg was actually 9th. It would help if somewhere the full race result existed, maybe in AW, TFNewsletter,Leichtatletik. I have Tom Smith(USA) as 6th and Claudio Patrignani(ITA) 9th. Smiths time is shown as 3:38.88 which is open to question as all my sources show 4th as Timo Lehto(FIN) 3:38.92 !!! Thanks for the 1994 TSB result will enter this in the 'Chronicle'.

Thank you Master403, again all help is much appreciated. I am wondering do i have to be a member of UPI archives to research other missing results ?

Thanks guys. I have Ray Flynn(IRL) as 3rd in 3:39.42 , could this be a wrong time.

[gh]

yes, Flynn was 3:40-something

[Master403]

Thanks guys. I have Ray Flynn(IRL) as 3rd in 3:39.42 , could this be a wrong time.

wa.org has 3:40.20. Peter Rono was 6th.

Tab to Results then 1988.

Well guys, both the ATFS & Svetove Tabulky have Ray Flynns best for 1988 as 3:39.42. The atfs performance is recorded as 3rd at the Victoria meet. I cannot find any correction to this in subsequent ATFS publications.

[dadme]

The Vancouver Sun, June 9th 1988 reports Flynn as 3rd in 3:40.20. The mystery deepens, ATFS & Svetove both wrong ?
