    I was just browsing Direct Athletics when I found the results for the Island Games held last weekend on Long Island. Plenty of pretty good performances, but the 1500 meters really stood out.

    http://www.directathletics.com/results/track/10104.html

    In the open race, Vincent Rono (the only entrant) ran 3:36.69. In the high school race Kemoy Campbell (also the only entrant) ran 3:42.57.

    This kid Campbell has a season best of 3:53 before this meet. Rono (ran for South Alabama if it's the same one) has run 3:40 recently.

    Was this a legit meet? Were these times actually run? This meet was definitely under the radar.

    Rono ran a 3:57 mile two weeks ago with no comp and only a pacer through the half mile.
