Your 52 is the best, Jerry, the BEST!
Now if your 52 is a relay split taken by an unknowledgeable coach, your actual 400 may be closer to 54. In which case your 1:59 would be your strongest.
52 speed equals 1:54 800. 1:54 800 could get you 3:48 1500 if you have the 5000m endurance. Most 800/1500 guys going 1:54 are usually 3:53-3:55 1500 guys----> 15:00 5k
I'm not sure what world you live in where 52 equals 1:54, but the only 52s quartermilers running 1:54 are 15/5k guys with who run the 800 once or twice a season and have extremely well developed aerobic capacities. You'll pretty much never see 52/1:54 from a 4/8 guy or even an 8/15 guy.
The 800 is almost certainly your strongest event right now (followed by 400-->mile->32-->5k). Run more mileage this summer, have a strong cross season, and you'll bring the 800 down a lot.
