slagowski has more upside than hunter
he has 22 second speed!
How is that more upside? You know Hunter (or anyone) is free to improve their sprinting ability, don't you?

In an all high school race. Who could've imagined that?

kind of posts. No guarantee this kid won't end of the like the rest of the super talented/super injured bunch who amount to diddly shit on the pro circuit. History has told us that to be a pro you have to dope or walk a fine gray area line anyways.
Negative much?

22 200m speed is innate. you can't just not have fast speed and 'improve' to 22 200m speed. innate. he's a sub 1:49 800m guy and a sub-4 miler in high school. with the right training, he should be able to blow the doors off hunter in a tactical 1500m/1600m/mile
FAT 200 or it didn't happen

Free to try, yes.
So no FAT, but nice article. Athletic.net has a 400 in 49.04 from last year, which should put him on the 22/23 cusp.

Mel Kipier said his upside with limited due hand size.
He ran that solo as wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_ZbSriyPPk

Penn State I believe. Went 1:48 solo a few weeks ago.

Has Hunter ever gone sub 4:00 in an all high school race? I know Lukas dipped under. Fisher went 4:01 a couple times.
I was there.
Kids was pure guts, his teammate helped pace him for the first two laps.
he ran alone for the last two laps and he looked like a man among boys.
Crowd was quite mellow or maybe just in shock.
Congrats to Michael. Never thought I would see something like that in an all high school race ever.
Ran this mile solo a week or so ago.

Hardly looks like he was flat out, as he just rolls through the finish. Doing 4.05 would have given him confidence he could go sub 4 if he pushed it. The thing I like about this kid is his excellent bio-mechanics, smooth and relentless like elg. He has the kind of stride suited to the distance, a true miler. And he also hardly looks like he's fully matured physically too, whereas Hunter doesn't tend to look like a boy amongst men.

Thanks for sharing.
Agreed about his bio-mechanics, he looks really smooth. I hope he continues to run well.
He's too good for Penn State.
thanks, nice to see
He looks like a smoother version of Kevin Sullivan.
Damn, kids are doping young these days

First off congrats to Slagowski, I didn't think he could do it so he's proved me wrong.
Secondly, this approach is why you are slow and why so many distance runners don't do speed work. You train speed; you get faster. Lift weights, speed drills, 30/60m... it works.
