Two miles

The 2 mile (10,560 feet or exactly 3,218.688 metres) is a historic running distance. Like the mile run, it is still contested at some invitational meets, perhaps because it provides an easier record to break for meet promoters (and corresponding bonus payment for participants), as well as its historical chronology. It is largely superseded by the 3000 m and 5000 m, and by the 3200m in NFHS American high school competitions. The IAAF no longer keeps official world records for this distance; they are called world best instead.

The world best for men is 7:58.61 set by Kenyan Daniel Komen in Hechtel, Belgium on 19 July 1997. The women's record is 8:58.58, set by Ethiopian Meseret Defar in Brussels, Belgium on 14 September 2007.

Note: this list only covers boys because the history of 2 mile running largely occurred before Title IX, before high school girls were allowed to compete, which occurred about the same time as conversion to metric distances.

Mile Run (White Deer Creek)

Mile Run is a tributary of White Deer Creek in Union County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 km) long and flows through West Buffalo Township. The watershed of the stream has an area of 1.57 square miles (4.1 km²). It has been described as a "spring run". Wild trout naturally reproduce within the stream and numerous bryophyte species have been observed in its vicinity.

Course

Mile Run begins in a valley between Fawn Ridge and Pine Flat in West Buffalo Township. It flows east-northeast through the valley for several tenths of a mile before receiving an unnamed tributary from the left. It then gradually turns south, receiving another unnamed tributary from the left. At this point, the stream turns south for several tenths of a mile, passing between Pine Flat and Little Mountain. It then reaches the end of its valley and crosses Interstate 80 before turning east-southeast. A short distance further downstream, the stream reaches its confluence with White Deer Creek.

Plot

Meredith calls and informs Nathan that their daughter Claire is still alive. Aware that the scandal could ruin his political future, Nathan gives Meredith $100,000 for her silence. Elsewhere, Mrs. Bennet's health deteriorates, causing the rift between Claire and Mr. Bennet, since she blames him for her mother's condition. He grounds her after learning she skipped school, prompting Claire to be more outraged. Claire later shows up at Meredith's trailer, hoping that her biological father could help Mrs. Bennet. Meredith tells Claire that he will only disappoint her, and Meredith herself is going back to Mexico. She takes a picture of Claire as remembrance, which she later shows to a visiting Nathan. Meredith offers to introduce them, but Nathan refuses - this crushes an eavesdropping Claire. Visibly upset, Nathan gets inside his limo and leaves. Claire hurls a stone at his rear window in anger.
