Conversions work, you and I are certainly capable. Here is what I think, honestly, they ran so fast indoors and then again so early Outdoors, I am not sure where they go from those. Not a knock, just saying, plus running some of these efforts way out on their own? I am not sure people realize how challenging that is, to stay on the gas for PR like running. I expect them to run slower at Penn in the 4 x mile, than they did Indoors.
LRC note. The total time was 9:55.24. Alan Webb's South Lakes team ran 9:49.78. Here is how the two team's splits compared.
Newbury Park splits 3:01.26 53.70 1:56.11 4:04.18
Reston's splits in 2001 Richard Smith 3:03.2 Justin Smyser 50.2 Kanda Karmo 1:56.6 Alan Webb 3:59.8
That 400m and 800m leg seemed to really cost them. A 53 is very weak when attempting a record. Most decent 800m guys can run sub 50 at least. Based on there PRs I was expecting.
3:00
49
1:51
4:02
Which would have given them a 9:42 and the record.
most decent 800m guys can run sub 50?! in high school?! define decent.
i ran 1.52 in high school in the 90s. my best 400 was 51.4. unless you have to run 1.49 to be decent i don’t think you are right.
I agree, but splitting hairs. Never fresh, but I coached a guy who ran 1:53/4:11.8 mile He split 51.4 on a rarely run 4 x 4. I would say most 1:50.x or better guys can run 50.x relay or better , most of those types.
Per Lex, Leo was very sick last week (like 103 degree fever sick). Probably just still not 100% this week. Also possible any of the other of them could be going through the same this week for all we know
Great effort to the Newbury team! I can't believe our DMR record as been around for 21 years. It's exciting to watch more high school programs developing sub 4 - low 4 min milers.
respect the record for sure. these kids are so washed up. aaron is so inconsistent. his 800m pr is 1:48, but he runs a 1:56? he is the sole reason they didn't break the record.

They're not machines, they're adolescents. They did fine, just not good enough for some of you. What type of man blames a 10th grader for a non stellar race?

A really stupid man, because Aaron is in the 11th grade.
Considering it's a track at points you will have the wind at your face which will make it harder to go forward but at other points it will be at your back and make it easier to go faster. Personally I don't know how much of a negative effect the wind could still have (obviously being winded and/or a completely dry mouth won't really help your race at all) but considering its an event where you are going all the way around the track several times the wind both helps and hurts you. I still don't think it would technically be a wind legal time though but I'm not entirely sure how that works either.
