Do you realize just how many people on this board and elsewhere say they ran X time for a mile only to find out it was 1600? Does a second and a half really matter? No, but when it is breaking barriers like 4:00 I personally appreciate confirmation that it was a mile and not the baaastard 1600 so that we are comparing apples to apples. Next will probably be "non -magic shoes".

And I'm not sure god's love has anything to do with it, but could be wrong. Please take that as the joke is was intended.

re: Cor

Let’s cool it with ISU could do something.

Teams that have (Oregon and VaTech). Let’s see what Washington, Ole Miss, ND, Arkansas, and Furman can now do).

re: keep real score

You can cool it if you want. They have 5 transfers. They just finished 2nd in a DMR. They have the best 800 times of any school. They would be 2nd to only Oregon in a 4xmile outdoor.

We are talking about college guys here... how many college athletes run 1600m? Post high school, you need confirmation that it wasn't 1600m? If someone breaks 4:00... you know it's a mile. And if you are worried about what people on this board ran...95% of them... you are worried about 4:31 vs 4:33?? LOL. Seriously?? Noob...

You are correct, that beyond HS people who know the sport, know it is a mile not 1600. But have you read this message board or talked with casual fans? Many do not know shiiit.

And far worse than someone saying "full mile" to confirm the distance is someone who gets their panties in a wad because someone used that term. I cringe everytime I hear someone call a marathon a "mary" but I certainly do not get an urge to go on a message board to whine about it.

Be proud that you are making a difference in the world!
