Johnny Gregorek caught the eyes of the running community when he ran the World Record for the mile in blue jeans (4:06) to honor his Brother Pat and raise funds (over $50K) for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
He is a 1500 meter runner, sponsored by Asics looking to make the Olympic team this year. He made the 2017 World Championships team in the 1500, where he placed 10th in a time of 3:37.56. He finished 6th in the Olympic Trials in 2016 – 5 years later he’s definitely one to be watching at the trials this summer!
