Suliman Ran NCAA’s Fastest Mile Time at Vanderbilt Last Weekend

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ole Miss track & field junior Waleed Suliman has been named the SEC Co-Men's Runner of the Week, the SEC announced Tuesday afternoon.

Suliman, the reigning SEC champion in the mile, clocked the NCAA's fastest mile time of the season, winning the Vanderbilt Invitational at 3:57.03. Last season, Suliman set the Ole Miss record at 3:56.78 at Boston University's David Hemery Valentine Invite on Feb. 9, 2019.

Only two other Rebels have ever broken the four-minute barrier in the mile during the collegiate season: All-Americans Sean Tobin (3:58.28, Feb. 3, 2018; 3:59.91, Feb. 15, 2014) and Derek Gutierrez (3:58.55, Feb. 9, 2019).

Ole Miss travels to Kentucky this weekend for the Rod McCravy Invitational, which will be held Jan. 24-25.
