I think Lawi is the age they say he is. He is an absolute animal. But I don't think Cheserek is. I think he is about 19 or 20. I say this because during the Millrose 5000, I could see a resemblance in age between Cheserek and Lawi.

Yes, clearly it is technically possible. This is a perfect case where the exception proves the rule. In order to be eligible to compete at that age, the student-athlete would need to academically qualify without taking classes since the clock starts when the student first enrolls. They would need to be good enough to make a Div I team, but not have competed past the age of 21 or made any money in that sport.
You will find a few Div I athletes, like this 49 year old swimmer at Pepperdine,

, but again, the exception proves the rule.
There are rare cases where athletes manage to maintain eligibility past 25, but the rules make it very difficult, prohibitively difficult in most cases, for a competitive older athlete to maintain eligibility.
This has been discussed a number of times. There is no hard and fast 25 year old age limit, but it is so rare that athletes maintain eligibility, due to the clock starting at full time college enrollment or when competing at all past 21, that it is safe to say that "it can't happen." The exceptions prove the rule.
Don't get me strated on how BS it was that this guy struck me out

Centro doesn't get the NCAA record because he was not representing an NCAA team. That is why Verzbicas should not have any records. He wasn't representing a high school team when he ran them. Cheserek is representing a high school team and running a high school schedule. He even ran an 800/1600/3200 triple in one meet this year.
People that are complaining about age are just ridiculous. Junior records include age, high school records and college records don't. The fact is, even when these kids show their age, you claim their birth certificate is wrong (the excuse you use for saying your not racist because your mad about black kids getting records). You are the same fools that still will not accept that Obama was born in America (the excuse you use to say your not racist for not wanting a black President).
Stop and think for three friggin seconds and I am sure you will realize kids in third world countries are not doctoring their birth certificates so they can get here and break a high school record....that is surely what they are thinking.
IDIOTS!
Noice! I've done the 4x8, 16,32 every meet the past 3 years. So i'm like a super-edward cheserek, right?
Amy was coached primarily by her distance coach Tim Sharpe. She also received additional training from the sprint coaches on staff at Harvard Westlake who were Olympians, Quincy Watts and Joanna Hayes.
