'nuf said, the kid is a phenom.

There were plenty of 337-340 finishers and a lot of them had slowish last laps. This race was pretty much perfect for a guy looking to run 338. Now if he had a great day, average day or poor one, I can't say. You would hope he will peak in a month or so and be faster but it doesn't always play out that way.

I think it is important not to discourage young tweeners from participation in discussions, so I will leave it at that.

Saw this kid run. I think he’s one of the top 3 most talented middle distance/distance runners in US history. Seriously. Alan Webb, take your pick (Ryun, Rupp, etc), Hobbs.

Nothing here suggests it? ALERT we have an LRC dummy everyone posting without context.

Bud, his last lap was a 56.06 after cruising 60s. He ABSOLUTELY can go faster with a more even split race.

Here we have a person who never ran a fast 1500m...

You absolutely CAN run 60s laps, then finish with a 56s lap and not be able to run any faster than that. If he could, he would have.

how ya doing today
