That would have given him the gold at Pan Am games.
He's the 4th fastest American this year. Can he be put on the relay pool?

Ignore this. It's 45.55, not 44.55...
Any 400 specialist that loses to him should be forced to hang up the spikes.
Was about to say..... There are 2 high school Americans who have run faster than that.
Fast guy runs fast. Where's the surprise here? Was there any reason to suggest that he doesn't 'still have it'?
45.55 is an incredible time for a guy who can pole vault, high jump, throw the implements, long jump, and even run not too shabby for 1500m at the end of a decathlon.

He isn't much of a thrower.
He is the best ever at running/jumping/hurdling, though.
Yes
What would you put over-under on 400 time for Rich Froning? 45-flat?
56

He wouldn't break 60 for 400m.
I've raced against him (and Ryan Bailey) and they are men amongst boys.
He's the best decathlete ever. The decathlon is mainly events for fast-twitch muscles. In fact, the only event not all fast-twitch is the 1500m, and that's hardly a slow-twitch paradise. It's no wonder he's really fast at 400m.
But this brings up a great question: Why doesn't the decathlon include an event that is almost entirely slow-twitch (e.g. 10,000m)?

Because we'd like to see the world's best athletes finish.
