Modesto's Matt Maldonado continues to improve. Has a very good chance to make USA Olympic trials 1500 finals.

Not bad for a 4:12 1600 HSer.

I'm confused. He broke 4:00 for the mile this winter - but that was on an oversized track with rabbits. The geniuses here said because of that, he'd be running 3:45's this spring. What's going on? I don't know what to believe anymore!
faster than that

Who said that? I doubt it was very many people.

This is a huge breakthrough for him. The guy has gone 3:47, 3:44, 3:47 the past 3 years, so this is a great step.

What happened to this guy?

Did he redshirt NCAAs? Or is he injured?

He ran 3:37.68 at Oxy.

Is he running Trials?
