Freshman runs 1:50.8 and 47.6r

Wow! That has to be a record for a 9th grader

Possible future WC/Oly champ if he doesn't burn out.

Freshman in HS Brandon Miller of John Burroughs in St. Louis ran 1:50.84 to win the class 3 open 800, then follows up with a 47.6 auto timed 4x400 relay leg less than 2 hours later. He has the 4x800 and 4x400 finals tomorrow.

As an 8th grader last year, he ran 48.xx in a relay, 1:51.2 (age WR), and 4:02 for 1500.

What a talent

1:51.23 at 14 years old is insane. Kid is the real deal

He's been steadily improving since 8 ever year, I've been on his bandwagon since he was 12

Crazy. Anyone know how long this guy has been running?

Seem to be an freshman record based on New Balance Nationals and NFHS.

Congrats to Brandon on the run, I'm glad he seems to be transitioning well into HS. Also, Well ahead of himself at this point last year!

How developed does this kid look? Regardless, that's amazing for a boy that age.

Brandon last year. Pretty small for someone who can run 1:51

He has run a handful of races this spring, ran no indoor, and did a little xc as far as I can tell.

Any results link? What was 2nd place?

He really looks like a normal 15 year old kid. He still has some physical maturation / growing to do.

Freshman class record by .19 seconds over Michael Granville!Maybe he's not even done yet this year. Very impressive. He could well go under 1:50 chasing others at nationals.

After much teeth pulling I found it...geez. Milesplit nothing, athletic nothing, wtf???

He won by 4 sec.

He could win NBN, maybe NCAA.

Of course! Just like Greer and Granville!!

Here's the link:

He won by 4 seconds going 55.2, 55.5. He might be able to go 1:49 with competition. The fact that he can go 47.6 in a heat of a 4x4 (not even the finals) is also impressive. Rumor is he was right behind someone who went 46.3 last weekend and probably split high 46 himself. That is serious speed, even at the collegiate level.

This pic is him a year ago. Doesn't look so young. He's a talented kid who started running at a much younger age than most. He'll probably have a career similar to Granville's, provided he keeps improving.

At this point, only time will tell. Difference between the two is Brandon's parents aren't borderline abusive like Granville's dad was.

I'm rooting for him to hold a career at well into his twenties AND surpass the current HS record.

He also dabbles in the higher distances, boasting PRs of 4:02 and 4:25 for the 1500 and Mile respectively.

If he hailed from Kenya many of you would say he looks to be 18 and is lying or wrong about his age.

If he came from Kenya, he would turn 18 in 2025.
