UNC track & field coach breaks world record for fastest mile while dribbling a basketball
Posted Nov 21, 2020
Lead by example — that’s what UNC Track and Field and Cross Country assistant coach Dylan Sorensen did when he set out to break the world record for running a mile while dribbling a basketball. Sorensen set the record earlier this year, but after it was broken, he set out to break it again. With a time of 4:33:73, he did. By two-hundredths of a second.
