Hi Ben! Nice to see you posting here.

Has a Millrose HS mile winner ever won the Wanamaker?
How many of the HS miler winners (or more broadly- contestants) have been invited to run Wanamaker also?
Which leads to >---->
Who is replacing Stan Saplin as Millrose Historian?

I don't know, but here is a list of Wanamaker mile winners.
http://www.runningpast.com/wanamaker_mile.htmI can't seem to find a list of the high school winners anywhere though. It looks like Steve Scott (Wanamaker winner in 1984) was in high school when he competed in the Wanamaker Mile in 1978 though (Ottawa Citizen article from January 1978). The high school mile was supposedly added in 1974.

Lol, wut? Were you seriously drunk when you posted this? It doesn't even make any sense...
nahhhhh
i wasn't drunk.
i was just commenting that his pr's of
mile - 3:59.99
5,000 - 13:24.11
10,000 - 28:16.65
would make him competitive if this were like 2004 or something. i dont know, i guess if you have ever watched '5,000 meters nothing comes easy', you'd kind of know what i'm talking about. In 2004, elite was 13:30 for a 5k.
Dude just reminds me of Matt Lane.
Unless he is super fit, he really has no business being in this race.
While Lagat should destroy them, the way they're strung out behind him should be very revealing. It will also be impressive to see who is still in it going into the bell lap.
We often have threads like where could x high schooler finish at NCAAs and where could y collegian finish in the pros. Well here's your race to find out.

Good guess, I suppose, but nope. I wish I had Ben True's PRs. Ha.

7 Cheserek, Edward St. Benedict's Prep, NJ (Kenya)

Although I have to admit that it would have been really cool to have lined up against Bernard Lagat wearing only my high school singlet, racing against him would have been another thing.
I'm not sure I understand why Cheserek getting blown out of the water is either entertaining or good for him mentally...
I think Belger(first HS mile winner) may have a Wanamaker race.
Kyle Merber is in this years race
note how LJohnson miss calls Merber taking the lead.
Couldn't find Belger in the mile, but he did do a 1000yd race at Millrose against Don Paige where Paige won in an indoor world record time....
i'm surprised that nobody is talking about korir in this race. He has a very solid kick and will definitely be in contention late in the race. I think he gets the collegiate record over lalang

Has Lagat ever dropped anyone in a race?

Actually, Lawi Lalang is MUCH closer to Lagat than you think. IF Lagat has an off day, Lawi Lalang could beat him.
It's a good thing the Occupy Wall Street crowd didn't show up
