I don't know the answer but:
Where did the distance of 1650 yds come from?
I know it is close to 1 mile but why wasn't a rounder number like 1600 or 1700 chosen?:confused:

I have wondered about this myself. At my Y they say 72 laps is a mile which would come out to be 1800 yrds. I have to say I don't know my math to well and I don't know how many yard actually make a mile. Anyone know?
