Turned 20 that year doesn’t count…Anyhow if Myers is to be competitive at Millrose he’ll likely take down that mark.
He was under 20 years old when he set his mark.
It's so utterly stupid that not anyone under the age of 20 can set an under the age of 20 record - just utterly stupid.

At 19 years and 1 day you might be not eligible, but at 19 years and 364 days you might be - true geniuses at Armstronglivslevel at work.

The U20 rules are stupid. 19 year old Hocker runs 3 seconds faster, but because he's 19 years plus x number of days, it doesn't count.

Hocker wouldn't have the record anyway. Myers ran 3.50.15 last year at 17.

He is the the 2nd coming of Jim Ryun.

Why was Myers entirely unphased by the performance? Like not even a little bit excited... is it because he doesn't care about indoor times/records? Doesn't know about them? Has already run faster and doesn't see anything special in a slower performance earning a record?

Myers will only be satisfied with a 3.4x mile. He measures himself against the world best men, not some low to mid 3.50 types.

Since I don't care, no it isn't.

Pretty crazy an Australian 18 year old running a U20 WR 3:53 and a 15 year old Kiwi running a 4:01 U18 WR the same day, different meets.
The odds of that happening a decade ago would probably have been rated here about a million to one.
Considering that in 2001, an American high schooler training with high schoolers ran 3:53.43 (Webb) and that a 17 year old Kiwi ran 4:01 (Willis), I'd say that no one would have thought it a million to one even if they didn't predict the rise of super shoes.
2001 4:01.32 Whanganui (NZL) 20 JAN 2001 (Nick Willis, born April 25, 1983)
2001 3:53.43 Eugene, OR (USA) 27 MAY 2001 (Alan Webb, born January 13, 1983)

No chance you ever understand the point.

Let's see what he does in Millrose chasing Neguse and Kerr. I'm thinking 3:49

What is most impressive is that this was his first indoor race and he is still only 18. Is there a video of the race.
In the post-race interview, he says he's slightly disappointed with his time! An AG WR in his first indoor race.

For your viewing pleasure, the record he broke:
I think German’s run is much more impressive. Regular shoes, crappy track, and winning by 10 seconds.
