    Olympian Sam Tanner has records in his sights ahead of this evening's mile race at Cooks Gardens in Whanganui

    Olympian Sam Tanner has records in his sights ahead of this evening's mile race at Cooks Gardens in Whanganui


    Tanner is targeting Nick Willis' stadium record of three minutes, fifty-two point seven five seconds, while aiming to run a fifth sub four-minute mile - which would equal Willis with five at the venue.

    His biggest competition on the track is 16-year-old sensation Sam Ruthe - but the 25-year-old is determined to make history.
