OH BOOO HOO KIDS CAN RUN AS FAST AS JIM RYUN AFTER 60 YEARS
It's not like one pair of shoes turned 4:50 kids into 3:50s
It was generations of shoe and track tech that makes kids faster
You had an advantage over the guys before you but I don't remember people clamoring about that back then
If it was generations of shoe and track tech that made kids faster, how come Roy Martin still has the second fastest prep 200m time of all time, and Todd Harbor ran 3:50 45 years ago.

Looks like he kept going to the mile finish? Did he get an official mile time?

Isn't the 1600 just 4 laps starting at the finish line?

It's definitely the first sub-4 in a 1600m (not a mile split) race.

Yes. I saw a clip on IG and it looked like maybe he had run the extra 9m to a second line that would mark one mile. But I must have been mistaken.

The bogus 1600 that's run nowhere else except in U.S. high schools should be changed to the 1500m distance, or else to a mile.

Just with us high school, you get 500,000 event marks annually. Pretty often run.

Just a great race all around proving PA produces some of the fastest milers in the east coast

True that shoes help but runners are getting better. Happens in all sports.
Griffith just ran a huge mark by himself. Converts to 3:58.50y. Running mostly alone.
Simmons is another. Runs 8:36.7 for 3200 (8:39.8y) at 4500 feet. With sea level Oxygen, he might go 8:32y. Lots of fast HSers. Equipment is just a part of that.

Griffith goes 8:43 like it’s a walk in the park

Yet, if we’re being honest, the 1500m is the real bogus race (3.75 laps???).

Metric mile = 1500
Mile = 1609
1600 = random
