More like 3:58 and he’d probably be lucky to run even that “quick.”

It's truly amazing to me that people are this socially unaware.

Not surprised, his form is really weird.

Like him or not, he’s certainly worth faster than that. Unless you were merely suggesting that the International mile would be very slow, which I highly doubt you were.

add a +1 from me

I enjoy Merbers sense of humor.

Been a fan of his since I saw him race his heart out and dip at the line on a HS relay leg from so far back that a 1:42 would not have copped a medal. That skinny, mop headed kid impressed me.

3: 34 mid and 3:52 low, ranked in the top ten by T&FNews 4 times, legs on a few WR/AR relays 20 actual sub 4 miles and 7 years in a row sub 3:42 1500 with the last 6 under 3:37 I think

raced in more than a dozen countries .

I'd take that as a good career so far.

Hopefully it's not too serious and he can bounce back and can set some PR's later this season.

I hope he's not too bummed about this.

You act like a 3:58 mile is slow. But I’m guessing you’ve never run that fast...

Don't say I never helped you.

It could go either way. For instance, when an Asian man is making hot monkey love with a same sex partner he is "nipping it in the butt."

Merber: never, ever ready or able to deliver when it counts. Maybe now he can go camping again for Memorial Day.

Hezzzzz a stud you're crazy!

when you're a professional and there are high school kids breaking 4 nearly every year, yes that is slow. My PR does not make that fact any different.

OK guy, ease up. He's got a PR of 3:54, and 1500 PR (3:34.57) that equates to about 3:53 mile, AND he was on the epic USA DMR team that beat Kenya for gold at the World Relay Champs and set a world record. AND, he's got a degree from Columbia.

AND, if you've ever had the chance to interact with him, or hear him speak, you'd know that he is a quite articulate and thoughtful young man...

10 high schoolers EVER have broken 4. Don't act like it's a common thing.

There are fewer global sub-4 milers than have climbed mt. everest. There are fewer American sub-4 milers than there are current billionaires.

But you probably already knew that... You sound pretty bitter and sad so that's why you claim a 3:58 mile is slow... :)

This generations Fam.

A whole lot of so what.
