He's 18 and turns 19 sometime later this year. Many of the distance records were set in races with professional and college athletes, Webb's 3:53.43 at Prefontaine, Verzbicas's 8:29 at Prefontaine, and Rupp's 13:37. I like the kid; he's brash and backs it up. I see this record going down Friday night. And it would be great to see him race Sumner, who's even faster in the 400m, next month.
