The announcer says at the end of the 800m that the state record is 1:48.21.
He missed it by .04. He was out in 2nd at 200m, and runs to the outside of the first guy, passing him before 400m in 53. Obviously, he should get into an 800 and a mile with pros or collegians and he'll get 1:47 and 3:58.

I think he can run 3:56 high, 3:57 low for a full mile. Reed Brown can also go sub 4:00 in the right race (Brown had won the 3200 earlier).
Those are some good races, and some excellent quality video. Fun moments in the 800 include the guy in the purple singlet running horizontally towards the curb instead of breaking in smoothly, and the other guy in the purple singlet with the white headband getting knocked off stride after some contact at 300m.
Reminds me of LV with more speed
Interesting. Doesn't look like a fast twitch guy at all. He looks like a long distance guy running the 8. Amazing that he can still run 1:48. I bet he moves up to 15/5k in college.
It would be an absolute travesty for these guys not run sub-4 by the end of the season. Get them through 1200 in 2:58 and it's a done deal.
The guy in the 8 gives up and goes from 2nd to 4th in the last 3m!

Yeah, he lets up and the two guys just get past him. He puts his hands to his head in disgust. Never let up until you cross the line.
Someone said Worley doesn't look fast twitch, but I'll bet he is. He has such a long smooth stride he makes it look easy. Look at how small his torso is in comparison to his legs. Reminiscent of Ryun, Elliott and a horde of Kenyans.
