Enoch Nadler lowers the Frank Shorter Road Mile record to 4:20.7

Florida Track ClubOn a Saturday in Gainesville, Florida--27 January 2007--Enoch Nadler went 4:09.77 in an indoor mile at the Diet Pepsi Invitational. Nadler was a sophomore on the University of Florida Gator track team, and that 4:09.77 stood as his best collegiate mark. It was good for second place in the race.


On a Tuesday in Gainesville, Florida--1 January 2019--Enoch Nadler went 4:20.7 in a road mile, Florida Track Club's fourth annual Frank Shorter Road Mile. That time was good for the win, Nadler's second at the event; he had also won the inaugural Frank Shorter Road Mile in 2016. The women's winner, Georganne Watson, did Nadler one better. Running 5:17.5, Watson collected her third straight Frank Shorter Road Mile women's title. Nadler's time stands as the event record. Watson set the Frank Shorter Road Mile women's record in 2017 when she ran 5:13.


Former University of Richmond distance running standout Justin Keefe took second in the men's race, which started at noon in Westside Park. Finishing nearly 60 meters behind Nadler, Keefe ran 4:30.6. Caden Monk, just off his senior year cross-country season at Buchholz High, ran 4:35.4 for third. Monk had also run the race in 2016 (10th, 5:38) and 2017 (8th, 5:08).


The women's race started at 12:35, and ended just over five minutes later with Georganne Watson more than 70 meters ahead of the next runner. There was a close race between Gainesville's Betsy Suda and Jade Mukri of Jacksonville for the second spot. Suda, women's champ at the 2016 Frank Shorter Mile, edged Mukri for the position, 5:33.2 to 5:34.8.


44 men got out on New Year's Day to finish the Frank Shorter Road Mile, and another 36 athletes finished the women's race.
