Outside of CT, haven't heard a lot about Gavin Sherry in a while. Obviously across the country there have been quite a bit of fast HS times over the last year so I'm not surprised. Still I think it's pretty special that a kid from a small state will likely break 4 in HS.

He has been on everyone radar for a while since that low 850 indoors as a soph, buT his results this year have been more so-so.. I always thought he would be like 4:07 guy running in the 840s as 402 shows more speed than I expected. But people do mature at different rates.
Winning the 3200 over puffer in 859 is a nice double.
Gavin Sherry is the next HS sub-4 minute miler, you heard it here first. That barrier is either going down this summer or next year, but it's going down! It may even happen this Sunday at the Danbury Dream Invitational mile if he runs (this isn't confirmed so take this with a grain of salt).
He closed in 1:58 no less! Kid is special, can't wait to see what he does the rest of this outdoor season, as well as his senior year.

Gavin isn’t entered into the mile at Danbury. Not sure when entries are due but I doubt he’d be running considering how much energy he expended today.

Huge proof of fitness and an incredible close. He looked fantastic throughout.
I remember when Magness got towed to 4:01y and we thought he was going continue to crush the prep scene -
https://archive.dyestat.com/3us/3out/prefontaine/index.htm- This kid made 4:02y look like a NCAA-level workout. Really really impressive.
I watched this from section 7 row 14.
Is he a tinman guy?
Nope

I could have sworn he was. Was he coached by Tinman at some point but then fired him?
You might be thinking of Aidan Puffer of Manchester, CT. He ran a 9:03 today, and at one point was with Tinman.
Deadline is almost up for Danbury Dream. No Gavin, but fastest seed times are Colin McLaughlin and Nicholas Bendsten (4:08.44 for both), Aidan Puffer (4:11.01), Azaan Dawson (4:12.00). Heard there is supposed to be a pacer, should be a fast race.
Where was Irving Black?
Avoid the timing tent
Haven't heard much from Sherry this year. Good to see that run. Cannot wait to see him attempt the sub 4 and also see where he commits to. Did he run the 3200 as well? What did Puffer run at the meet?

Sherry doubled back with an 8:59 3200 for the win. Puffer only did 3200, ran 9:03.
