that's completely ignoring the splits... they went out crawling almost 30 for the first 200, then sprinted a 26??? cmon
No, that first split is for 209 meters not 200. With the adjustment, it was a 28 low, perfect
Napolitano probably did get spooked by hearing the 209 split and ran the next 200 too fast before settling back.
So you can fault him for that if you're on a crusade.

Seriously? Stop it folks! Same jealous people cutting on more successful runners. Look at Hassen she is very thin but doesn't look sick neither does woman. You're not saying anything about Kejelcha.
He's emaciated too.

The pcer went through 800 evenly in 1:53.2 which was patently Al Sals goal.
The pacer has peeled off before 800 meters as he was getting run up on my Kejelcha. Thus, at least on tv, they showed Kejelcha went through 800 in 1:52.8, so faster than Alberto prescribed.
They had the split for the pacer on TV which was 1:53.2 behind Kejelcha. He actually ran 1000m before stepping off.

The dude went 56.00 thru 400m then split 28.00 for the next 200m and came through 800m in 1:53.2. That's pretty freaking good man.
No, he was 56.00 through 409 meters. With the adjustment, that's sub-55 for 400m.
He was right on for the first lap, then ran the second 200m too fast, probably because he was confused by the 209 split.
SkeletonRunner - your obsession with this is weird. One obersvation was plenty. You don’t need to continue responding and defending yourself.

Kemoy Campbell situation is scary given the story of the athlete who died after an indoor mile race due to a condition connected to his Jamaican genetics ?
Who are you referring to?
His name was Kevin Richards, who used to train with David Epstein and who Epstein talks about in the Sports Gene book
Well you don’t have to watch her run then
So sad to hear about Kemoy Campbell. Hope he recovers without lasting damage. What an unexpected event.
An ambulance with paramedics should be parked on the ramp for all meets at the armory.

But they can get called away by a real medical emergency which is more urgent than just sitting there doing nothing "in case".
I don't get why they ask for such fast opening splits - 56 / 1:53. Why not ask for even 57s? That way the pacer can last longer and then you can just hammer the last lap. Plus, almost all pacers run the first 200/400 too hard. I would have just asked for a first 440y of 57-58 and then 1:54

as well as those records noted on the front page, Kejelcha's mile is also the fastest mile run in the state of New York, but not yet the fastest mile run in the US (though it is the fastest indoor mile run in the US). that honour remains with Ayanleh Souleiman (DJI) who ran 3:47.32 at the Bowerman Mile in Eugene, OR on 31 May 2014.

Hate all you want, but this only proves me right about the physics of banked tracks. Here were are in the offseason, everyone in base phase, or at the very least not raced into shape, no serious competition, no big stakes, and a guy almost breaks the world record and scares the outdoor form charts in an event he doesn't even normally run.
It's the track. The tracks are just that good. The only reason the best elites aren't bum-rushing these meets to run 3:45 is they know, I know, you know it would instantly be a big joke. Not worth it.
Kejelcha ran just well enough that we can keep pretending, if we want to...
