Nice!
Unfamiliar, is this guy a high schooler?
Yeah he’s a high schooler
Ran 4:09 full mile last year and had the fastest xc time this year 14:14 and 15th at NXN
He was sick at NXN

-Know a guy on his team
Looks like he's limping or has an asymmetric stride?
Sheez...running that in a TT puts him ahead of everyone except Ryun and Webb, IMO. There could be 4-5 kids right now who can go sub-4 in a good race.

How do you know it is a "full" mile? What if it is only a mile?

Is there a full video from start to finish.

Most high schools run the 1600m - which can lead to people mistakenly referring to 1600m times as mile times, so calling a 1609m run a full mile eliminates this doubt.

It is also a fact that 1609m is short of a mile as well.

It's a fact that a mile does not equal 1600 meters and calling a mile, a full mile, is not necessary.
do we really have to have this conversation? can we keep the thread on topic?
ya'll being incredibly myopic about this. it's common vernacular to reference 1,609 meters as a full mile as to avoid confusion because the 1600 is exceedingly referenced as "the mile". The qualifier is necessary to avoid this confusion.
Now, please, let's discuss running instead of semantics.

He didn't run his best at NXN. No Texas runner would have finished ahead of him, otherwise. Thought everyone already knew that, considering he beat all of them in races the whole season by convincing margins.
heckuva run, but hand times are bullshit
