all time list for under 18’s.

With his time at 1:47.60 he would be placed around 37th on the old time list for under 18. Can’t find his name here but maybe it has not been ratified yet.

Top 10: here is the state of play at Monday, March 20 122 for under 18. Two Ozzies in the lead but nowhere close to 147.

He's talking about Charlie Jefferson who, while he is 17, doesn't qualify for "U18" because of a birthday later this calendar year.

Regardless, the OP did a terrible job.

Hes u20s

Also note that Timothy Kitum ran 1:42.53 in London at 17. He turned 18 later that year, however, so it wasn’t considered a U18 performance. A nice performance for the young Aussie though.

He is still 17.

That's all the header says.
