Will Cooper Teare break 4 minutes on Saturday?

I do not think GOAT means what you think it means.

As you all know, the Goat aka Cooper Teare ran 4:00.16 two weekends ago at Mt. Sac to become US #10 all time and the fastest runner to not break four minutes in HS history. This weekend he is taking another crack at it at the Sacramento Meet of Champions. He will once again have a pacer and will be joined by Luis Grijalva, Michael Vernau, and Evert Silva. Do you think Teare has the extra .16 in him to become track and field immortality???

I was unaware that SMOC switched to a mile race. If they have, and the pacer is competent then I bet Teare gives us a 3:59, Grijalva goes 4:04, Vernau goes 4:09 and Silva goes 4:10.

No. it is always windy for that race.

The regular (open) boys' high school race is 1600 meters. The invitational for men, not women, is a mile -- the only non-metric race in the meet, so if Cooper Teare is going after a sub-4:00, it has to be in the 5:55 p.m. invitational. Good luck to him!

I hope so its about time someone did. Has there ever been 3 people get so close (4 flat) and no one break it before?

Is there only four runners in the race?

Really? The probably lesser-talented open 1600m, like the invitational mile, will have more than four participants. Don't know if all four of these HS runners will be in the invitational mile -- possibly not, depending upon how elite a field it is. Maybe only Cooper Teare will be allowed to step up to the big boys' mile, though Luis Grijalva has been impressing lately and may be considered mileworthy, more so than Vernau and Silva - who are still wowing us with their results and potential.

Grijalva ran a 3:47 1,500 at Stanford last Saturday

At Stanford Invitational? His official result there is 3:49.89 which converts to 4:06.64 if he maintains his pace exactly

He went 3:47.17 at the Cardinal Classic last Saturday. Closed well too, beating his future NAU teammates.

Ahhh, I see that now. Wow, that's flying. I didn't think he'd break 4 this year but he might just do it.

That's not how you calculate the conversion. Multiply by 1.08 to get a more exact conversion.

3:47.17 x 1.08 = 4:05.4

Updates?

What time is this race? wrote:

Updates?

Race is sometime tonight

I hope he gets it. But if he has to pass anyone those few steps could make or break the attempt.

Wind. No mondo. He runs 4:024:03.

Kids damn tough though. He's blasted PR after PR. Very impressive.

According to the on-line schedule, the Invitational mile will be held at 5:55 p.m. Sacramento time, 70 minutes from...NOW!

Does anyone have a list of entries?

Updates...

Is he warming up.....?
