It isn´t obvious at all!
I do agree Colin has potential to reach these times but no one knows now AND why stop with these times? Why can´t he do even better?
Sure, I just followed up my absurd claim to know the future with a winky-face for no reason.

Love? Support? Encouragement?
You are an idiot.
Any coach who cares about their athletes would have done the same.
And did you even watch? He gave Colin a quick hug of congratulations then rushed off-camera.
Once again, you are an idiot (and clearly a hater). I truly hope you don't coach with such a poisonous attitude.

On another note all the so called pros that finished behind Salman should retire now
You have either 1) never coached an athlete to a great performance and felt the pure joy that comes from it or 2) never had a performance during your athletic career that elicited such a response from your coach.
I would guess both since you seem like a miserable human being.
Could also be an indication that he is just a great runner, after all he has the cross country 5k national record too...
To keep things in perspective, Colin Sahlman was 18 years, 102 days old for his 3:58.81. German Fernandez was 18 years and 118 days old when he ran 3:55.01 indoors. Almost 4 seconds faster.

To keep things in perspective, Colin handed to those guys. He won the race and can go much faster.
Also ignoring the fact that German was in college and training with college runners already.

Sahlman's high school teammates are faster than German's teammates were in college.
And Kessler was 17 years and 329 days old when he ran what is still the U.S, HS National Indoor Record. 3:57.66.
German was a very special runner and meteoric prospect at that point in his relatively short career. He is not yet 32.
7:47.x at 18 and 3 months
13:25 at 18 and 7 months.

OSU won cross country nationals. Newbury is amazing, but not sure they would win NCAA'a
