The Iowa high school meet is a bit different, it’s held over 3 days with no prelims for the 800,1600 or 3200m races. District times are used for seedings in the fast hears
Saturday 3:00 PM 1600m: 59.7-61.1-61.6-56.9 = (took lead at the bell)
Not that it really matters, but he didn’t pass Ten Pas until 200m to go. If anyone hasn’t watched the video it’s worth checking out. Ten Pas basically paced him through 1400m before the last 200, which looked to be around 26-27.
An amazing performance at the state meet for him. Hard to judge, 1:47.5 split or 3:59.6 1600m, which is best. But quadrupling here like that is not the recipe for a long-term future. A little worrisome. Hope he comes out of this fine.
All of the good runners quadruple at the state meet in Iowa. If you are a coach, you want to score the most points possible. 4 events is the limit for what you can enter.
Easy fellas, the meet was over 3 days, so only true double was the 1:48 / 3:49 on Saturday.

Maybe so but a quadruple of this quality is really, really taxing.
This has to be the first high schooler to break 4:00, 1:50, and 9:00 in the same meet, right? Even if it is over multiple days.
It was announced at the meet that he is the first American high schooler to ever run sub-1:50 and sub-4 in the same meet, and he did that in the same day.

I must be losing it. The whole idea of doing a double, triple, or quadruple refers to doing it in 1 day, not at a 3 day meet.
The double of 1:49 / 3:59 may really be the best double ever.
At 1 day State meets there are often crazy quads.
I've seen am 4x800 1:50 split. Then pm 1600 4:18, 800 1:53, 4x400 52.
A pa regional runner just ran 1 day 1:56/4:16/1:55/9:23.
These are hard, but not as good as 1:49 / 3:59 or the famous 4:01 / 8:34 from German.
Still the events have to be on the same day to count.
This is the best single meet performance by any high schooler in history.
I'd argue Fernandez's is still more impressive, given he destroyed the 3200M national record hours after running 4:00. But still an insane double regardless
Maybe. But he didn't run a 1:47 the day before and a sub 9 the day before that. Put that on his legs and he wouldn't have run as fast as he did. And Nauman is only a junior. Let's agree it is the best single meet performance in history spread across multiple days.
