milers
Four-lap track athletes
Milers is the plural of miler, an athlete who specializes in running the mile race.
The mile holds a special place in track and field—breaking four minutes was once considered impossible, and milers who achieve it join an elite group.
The team's milers dominated the distance events.
The term extends to horses bred or trained for mile-length races.
