Looks like people know nothing. Two different races. Why dont you compare the pacing first? Who is to say Corcoran & Laros wouldnt have gone sub 3:30 in Oslo and Tanner in 3:31?
Coreecyt me if I am mistaken but isn't he pro? Like he doesn't take any classesand wasn't someonesaying he tyrains in flag. That is a massive advantage against highschoolers. The factthat they skip 7 hours of wasted time on their feet is massive.

His final year of high school is split in two, so he can go to training camps and everything.
It doesn’t really matter because he was already faster last year than pretty much every high schooler. He ran 1:46.30 and 7:48 as a junior which would both have been high school record and is faster than what Flatt, Leo, Lex, Burns, Birnbaum or even Sahlman ran/could have run last year (or even this year).
What’s interesting is he said he would love to train with them, and even invited them to come to Europe and race him. He supposedly runs fairly low mileage, and I don’t think he fully understands how good he is yet.
Niels Laros just ran 3:32.89 in Nice. Now he has a faster PB than the US HS 1500m record, and by a large margin. What a race from the 18 year old whose goal shouldn’t be U20 Euros anymore but World Championships in Budapest.
By the way, I think it's interesting how the biggest drops in time for men occur between 17 --> 19. Obviously nothing unknown, but it's cool to see that pattern continually repeated. Obviously, Jakob went from 3:39 to 3:31 at the same age too.
