Sorry I meant Strangio, Not Lester.

No. The splits were at the start line. Finish line splits were about 60-61.5-61.8-63.3. Those are good splits. He just died.
Yeah, the splits were ok for 4:00, it's just that none of those guys are 4:00 milers. I wonder why Strangio thought that was in the cards? His workouts must have indicated something much faster.
As for Lester, he obviously has the speed and potential but needs to develop strength. Another season of xc might help a lot. But it's unlikely there will be any meets in NorCal this year.
Maybe you missed that Strangio basically soloed a 4:03.59 1600 time trial in April? Sub-4:00 mile wasn't a far-fetched goal for him, though obviously wasn't happening on this particular day.

Will this be another invalidated mike like 2 weeks ago due to a waterfall start because of the stupid social distancing bullshït?
Coronavirus is real in Oregon so, yes, there will be social distancing. If you want to run track meets in your community then do it however you like.
I have been watching the Nick Symond's track meets with no distancing. He pretty much said it is dumb to worry about track meets.
So, high school track is now over by on July 4th?
What are you talking about? There are high school meets coming up that have hundreds of entries.
this ahmed ibrahim guy was part of nico's 5k record attempt too, he ran 15:31.high. look out for him at boise state ?
There is some condo or apartments 5 feet from a track? Is over development really a problem there?

Nick Symmonds does not have any expertise in this area.
He looks like he has more expertise in hosting meets than anyone in the world. Betting he has held some of the largest meets over the past month. The same people show up not coughing or dying. Maybe others should pay attention to the experts about the chances of spread while outdoor.
