O’Reilly [..] came to the U.S. in 1983 to attend Villanova University on a track scholarship. As a junior, he ran the mile in less than four minutes —a feat he repeated six times. He led Villanova to a conference championship and represented Ireland at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. A few years later, O’Reilly joined Vanguard. That's the story I would have rather read.
