An Encounter with Sir Roger Bannister
Carol Teo, our Ex-Captain
(2000/2001) is currently studying Mathematics in Exeter College,
Oxford University. Carol won a bronze for the Girls 100 m and a
bronze for the 4 x 100 m relay during the National Inter-Schools
Championship in 2001. She had an
encounter with Sir Roger Bannister recently. An alumni of Exeter
College, Sir Roger Bannister was the first man to run the mile in less
than 4 minutes. He did it 50 years ago on 6 May 1954 in a time of
3.59.4. The breaking of the 4 minute mile was a historic event then
as it was thought that to run 4 laps at a 60 s pace was humanly
impossible. With the help of his friends, Chris Brasher and Chris
Chataway , Sir Roger Bannister broke the barrier on that eventful
day. To this day, the record has been broken many times and the time
has been reduced by about 16 seconds. The current record is set by
Hicham El Guerrouj from Morocco in a time of 3:43.13 in
1999.
