During the qualifiers, the 19-year-old Brannigan finished 7th in the mile run with a time of 3:57.58, shaving 5 seconds off of his previous personal best record. But it wasn’t only himself that he beat: he became the first runner with a T20 paralympic classification (also known as an intellectual disability with an IQ under 75) to break the 4 minute mile. He is currently a favorite to snag the gold medal in his division. [1]
