Actually it wouldn't. Andrew Osagie ran 1:43.77 for last. So no 800s ever would 1:43.55 put you in last.
Yeah but if Osagie had tun 1:43.5 he would still have been last.

So I came back from a run this afternoon and looked at my phone. There was a text from a top HS coach which said, "Grant Fischer is not the best kid in Michigan."
I wrote back facetiously, "Yeah you're right. He probably couldn't beat Ritz right now. Maybe in another 6 months. Who are you really talking about?"
"This Brazier kid. Black guy. 1:48.61 as a junior. 15:25 this fall. Never runs the mile. Tried to go after Fisher this weekend but not fit enough - 4:09.3. Watch the race. Talent level doesn't compare."

Before you say this is totally ridiculous. This coach does have an eye. I was at IC4as back in 2012 and he was there. He was watching the 1k and saw a kid from Monmouth, "Look at that guy. He's going to good," he said.
At the time, the guy from Monmouth had run just 4:08, now he's a 3:38 guy - Ford Palmer.
Brazier certainly is a stud. Not many guys run 1:48 as a junior. He's headed to Texas A&M next year.
Your thoughts?
I’d like to nominate this thread for “Classic” status. TALENT LEVEL DOESN’T COMPARE. You heard it here first.
I'm glad you brought this thread up, I think about it from time to time.
Neither Grant Fisher nor Donavan Brazier live in Michigan. This whole thread is built on a lie.

I remember this thread. Their 800m personal bests were about nine or ten seconds apart 4 1/2 years ago. Fisher has slightly closed the gap. Their 800m personal bests are about 8 seconds apart now. One is planning on going toe to toe versus the best in the world this summer. Maybe Fisher will move up to Marathon soon?
I am shocked that rojo had a phone that could receive texts back in 2015. Seems like a fake story.
I'm not shocked that a racist texted rojo in 2015.

I'm shocked dummies are still comparing an 800m runner to a 5/10K guy.

Why the need to note Brazier is black?
For Chrissakes.

"Letsrun, you are welcome for the heads up"- Coach Catton at RunCCG
This is how I first learned of Brazier. Coach knew what he was talking about.
Man this thread aged really, really well.

Today's race couldn't have been more Rudishaesque.
Does Grant still run? Or did he move on?

This weekend:
Donavan= in Doha prepping to win and set the AR.
Fisher=Sitting home devastated at the Nike Portland High School XC meet hanging out with teenagers.
Reality: Grant running on the side for fun, getting ready to make 800k per year. Small-brain Brazier? Well, all he's got is runnin, so he better run run run.

This doesn't seem racist at all...
This thread doesn’t make any sense. Neither Fischer nor Brazier are in Michigan.

A real puzzle.
800K a year? lol. What kind of drugs is he planning to sell?
