BOSTON — It won’t land him a spot in the Olympics, but a Massachusetts college student has run one of the fastest miles in the world while juggling — an endeavor called “joggling.”
Zach Prescott, a junior business student at Boston University on the track and cross country squads, ran a 4 minute, 43.2 second-mile on Tuesday while juggling three lacrosse balls.
He told The Boston Globe it’s all about focus and rhythm. Once he gets used to the speed when he’s running, “you’re pretty much just juggling in place.”
If verified, his time would be a world record.
A Guinness World Records spokeswoman says the organization is aware of Prescott’s feat and working to determine whether he beat the current record, set in 1986, a process than can take several months.
