and there was morans just earlier thinking he would be lucky to get high 1:47....dude now has 47 flat and 1:47 flat, and its april. i can see him hitting 46 mid and 1:45 high in june
Is he 19? That is pretty old in April of Senior year
20 as a non redshirt frosh next year?
this is so typical these days, but mostly you see it in football, basketball, baseball.
when i was a senior in hs i turned 18 in feb, but most kids were a full year older than i was and not just in my hs. in fact the only other kid close to my age turned 18 in dec, everyone else was 18 that past spring and lots turned 19 before graduation.
so many parents held there kids back in 2 or 3rd grade so they would have an advantage in middle school sports in hopes to have an advantage in hs in hopes of getting some sort of scholarship. pretty dumb if you ask me, considering so many parents did it what "advantage" did timmy really have if he was competing against all the other kids who got held back?
what is Cade's reason for being 19 as a senior? my guess it was for some other sport and mommy and daddy wanted to let him have that advantage.
Tell me you’re never accomplished anything in your life without telling me you’ve never accomplished anything in your life.
lets see, i was a double state champ for 3A colorado (200, 400) and runner up by 1/1000 of a second in the 100. had the state record in the 200 for a year at 22.08
ended hs with 10.77, 21.97, 48.25, (47.5r), 1:58.85 PRs
ran college track and ended with PRs of 47.68 and 1:54.04i.
did the Little Bear, Blanca, Ellingwood hat trick, from lake como to como in 9:30, beating the record on 14ers.com at the time of 14hrs.
onsighted up to 11c sport, and bouldered up to v8, have over 300 FAs up to v8.
earned 2 degrees, BS in Geology and a BA in Exercise Physiology
married and have one 4 month on baby.
maybe its your insecure a$$ that never accomplished anything, with your weak insult on me as if i didnt accomplish anything based on the REALITY that parents hold back their kids. maybe its cause you were a 19yr old senior taking 14yr freshman girls to prom that you feel like you need to try and insult me...

Just to toss in my own anecdote: I turned 18 in Dec of my senior year, and out of the people I knew, only about half were older. Makes sense given that December is in the middle of the school year.
I don't think that many parents hold their kids back a year in hopes of getting a sports scholarship. It's far easier to get an academic scholarship and you'll almost always get more money for it. Maybe things are just different where you went to HS, but I can only think of 3 times that I had a class with anyone a whole year older than me. It makes no sense from the parent's side to hold your kid back a year for a sports scholarship when it's easier/less time consuming/better in almost every way to focus on an academic scholarship.

i said it was dumb but that was the reality in colorado at the time. hell there was kids with full on mustache and goatees in little league baseball, a few kids from salida, monte vista had a bunch and when we played games in canon city and florence they had kids like that as well.
pretty classic one kid in my grade who was 19 at graduation, was this "big kid" in 8th grade, and he didnt grow another inch after that. but yeah it was very very very common in the late 90s early 2000's. when i went to college there was lots of 20yr freshman as well, and only one was a mormon lolz

Really fast time. Yes he is very old for his grade. In general I’ve started to look at U20 records instead of high school ones. But 1:47.0 is still really fast and a true freshman running that isn’t that common. Bryce Hoppel didn’t break out until he was 20. Ditto Clayton Murphy. Brandon Miller and Brazier ran lightning fast at age 19, but Flatts got a couple more months to get even faster.

Even if he is the age of a college freshman, just being able to train with better runners and being pushed by better runners will allow him to improve.

Yeah, isn’t that one fast distance girl also 19? The one who ran the 5000m record? (Sorry forgot her name)
Maybe I’m old but I also turned 18 my senior year and out of my class of 500 seniors, only a dozen were 19: the ones who had flunked a grade at some point and the ones who had immigrated over. But I’m old, I graduated in ‘01. Are times different now where it’s more common to be 19 in ur senior year?
