Arizona point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright ran the mile in 5 minutes, 20 seconds in the UA’s preseason conditioning program. It was the best time for a scholarship player in the Miller years. But it’s nothing new. In 1966, Flowing Wells High all-state guard Pat McAndrew, who became a starter at Arizona that year, ran the mile in 5:12 in a preseason conditioning session under coach Bruce Larson. McAndrew, a notable musician locally and a high school teacher, died at 60 in 2007.
