Anyone know his DOB? Any chance he breaks J Ingebrigtsen's youngest sub-4 mile record (he did it at 16)? JK says this is equivalent to something like 1:51/4:09. 4:00 mile is like 2:20.6.

Surprised this is a world record. Eli Krahn ran 4:09 as a freshman in high school so he probably could have equaled this time before December of that year. He is still running the same times 8 years later so I wouldn't be too quick to predict anything crazy.

Yeah, 4:09 is a long way off from 4:00. Jakob broke 4:00 for the first time in 2017, but he ran 3:42.44 in 2016 and 3:48 in 2015. It's possible that Krahn could do it, but Jakob's times were much better a year (and two years) before he broke 4 compared to what Krahn has run. -

I think I did 2:08 for 800m at 15
Wow -
Young Hayden is a very good runner for sure.
Remember that Canberra has had a 17 year old female run 2:00 for 800 and another young 16 year old male run 3:50 for 1500m.
I believe Jaryd ran 1:55 as a 14 year old and this was a breakout performance. In the race para olympian Jaryd Clifford ran 2:23 for the win.
Talent is everywhere and Canberra is a great environment at the moment for developing athletes.
Not sure about the world record status for such an event but we know how those things pan out. Hopefully Hayden will continue his fine progression. -
correction Hayden ran 1:55 as a 14 year old. Jaryd Clifford ran 2:23 and is hoping for a 3:43 for 1500m for any athlete exceptional but for a para athlete exceptional.

Brandon Miller ran 1:53 in 8th grade. He also ran 48/1:49 as a freshman. He should be running 1:39 by now.
-
Exactly :D where are Tyreese Cooper, Anthony Schwartz and all these young super talents
-
Seems like every couple of years were told about an Aussie prodigy, who them disappears.
What happened to the sprinter from 4 or 5 years(?) ago? -

Well being quite honest Brandon missed his junior season due to injury and Covid cancelled his senior season for the most part.
He still ran prs in the few races he’s run in 2020. I wouldn't count him out yet, especially considering he’s running for the best mid D school in the country -
Crazy that Krahn is still running the same times 8 years later.

Yeah I would be sort of interested to know what his training progression was like in terms of miles and intensity. Hard to believe that 8 years of training and a bit of physical maturity isn't worth like 5s. Just looking. at his results, he looks to be slow for a 4:10 miler with a bunch of 1:57s and 2:32s. That is a 5k/10k type guy type speed.
2.25.7 is obviously a fast time but it doesn't really compare to the 1500/1600 records or the 800m which isn't too shocking considering it is a rarely run outdoor event. -
He was 7th U16 (3rd '05 born) at the Australian All Schools Nationals last year in December for the 800. Unfortunately they've been cancelled this year so we don't get to see how much he's improved against his competitors, will have to wait until April

I don't think that 2:25 indicates 4:09 but rather low 4. Alan Webb ran 2:23.68 around the time he first broke 4 indoors.

We ran 1000s and 1500s at the same time quite a bit indoors when I was racing in university (CIS) in Canada which allowed us to maximize our 1000 times.
I ran 2:24 at the same time as 3:48. Most other guys were pretty similar running 2:24-2:26 and 3:48-3:52. Somewhere around 4:06-4;10 sounds about right for a 2:25. -
Iowa and Iowa State have the best mid D programs over the past 2 years.

I think this is spot on. I was also a 3:48 guy at my best, and feel like 2:24-25 is about where I would've been. -
Must’ve been a weak record. Any sub 4:15 1600 guy that’s strong in the 800 could do that

very clean guy so no accusations. very honest nation all of a sudden producing them one after another. nothing shady at all

For every Kenyan caught, a Western kid realizes that all that stuff about East African 'natural born runners' was a great lie.
To think of all the great talents of the last 30 years that were suppressed because of that rocket fuelled lie (still peddled here after 100+ Kenyan busts).
