Wow. I guess he should have gone out in 65 to close in 50 which would make him a 1:40 guy using that silly math.
Actually 1:55

He's a big kid. He stopped and started a lot in that run.
Clearry he has potential, but as Bill Parcells said, "Potential means you ain't done nothing yet"
Good luck to him. He has plenty of time. It was a nice run.
No. His science said that you double the last lap in a negative split to obtain the potential time which would be 1:40.
I took a quick look at milers - top 300 which amounted to 4:09.7 or faster in HS and it looks to me ~10% improved much after HS, again using the Milesplit data. Seems low to me, but that is what the data says.
Makes sense to me honestly. Think about how many things can go wrong in college:
- bad coach relationship
- bad teammate relationship
- coach training wrong for runner type
- overworking/underrecovering
- schoolwork difficulties
- living situation
- homesickness
lots of things can go right AND wrong post HS. I plan to look at top-5 placers in USA Outdoors for 800m and 1500m over the last decade (maybe 2008-2018) and see how their career arcs looked
