On the contrary, Borchers has always been pretty horrible (relatively speaking) at anything above a mile, right? I only know him a little bit, but it would not surprise me to see him under 4 for a mile if he is healthy and in the right race. If he gets his mind around something, he can run above his level of fitness. Problem is, he can't get his mind around anything above the mile (and, focused training on the long term has been an issue as well, it seems).

That would make him the first sub 4 guy that cant break a 9:20 2mile (fairly certain). I dont care how much of a speed demon you are, if you can break four you sure as hell can run two 4:40s jesus

Are ya'll kidding? a 500 in 1:01.x is brisk, but by no means is it cause for commotion...

Think about it - to run sub-60.00 you just have to run a sub-48 400m and continue your pace for another 100m. Nothing to sneeze at, but something that each and every 400m All-American year in and year out could do...

If it was so easy, someone would have done it - I'm sure a lot of those guys would love to set a world record, even in an "obscure" event. Butch Reynolds only managed 1:00.86.

Sure the world hasn't been turned upside down, but it's a pretty sweet performance.

he from Pistol wavin new haven

According to his interview ..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuSnovc7FkU

he says he went out the first 400 in 46.9, which is rolllling for an 800m runner indoors, but clearly he was suffered the last 100. Looking forward to him being a top guy indoors and reaching 1:45 or faster outdoors! He seems to have an intelligent mindset for training

monde.

Just another note ,before Xmas running the 1200 as an open race, Loxsom won in 3:02

I would really like to see what he can now for for 1000M

Going into his last year, we can safely say that Borcher's has had way more than his fair share of opportunities to run fast times throughout his college career (especially with PSU's indoor track). He is simply either not in shape or does not care enough to do it. PERIOD.

Everetts 60.19 came on the MSG 11 laps =1600m track I believe.

Love this event indoors 500,600 and 1000m are great fun

No such thing as a 11 lap to 1600m. It's 11 lpas to the mile (160 yard)

sub 47's not that easy indoors.

Is there a list of 500 meter times, I don't have a sense of how this stacks up against others.

Here is what other people have run in the 500 this year:

Borchers is a friggen senior now. He aint gonna do start being serious now. His head is effed up its not even funny. I hear he may be ineligible though.

Damn! Cas always is doing something exciting it seems. At best he'll be 46 low 1:44

My man, monde.

I took his split at Big Tens outdoors and had him at 46.2. First 200 was 22.1

Masheto's name is terribly butchered on the link to the top times someone posted. Nice.

That means it was butchered in the results at some point and that's what got entered into the database. I'll look into it...

Oh I just realized you were referring to the T&FN all-time lists... they were only off by one letter. The Illinois website says his full name is Gakologelwang Lesiba Masheto, they just subbed an R for the K.

1) Most top 400/800 runners don't run the 500 indoors. Kerron Clement surely would have destroyed the record the year he broke the 400 indoor record. I would give him high 58's no doubt.

2) Ncaa's champs (you know the race the best peak for) does not have the 500.

3) No one trains for the 500, those that race it are training for the 400, or are 400h guys outdoors, or 800 guys getting some speed races in.

If the best ran it, and it was an Ncaa champ event. You can bet there would be tons of times faster than he just ran.
