I’m excited to see this amazing young man running this sat in Eugene.
I say he breaks 3:53
any predictions on how he will run?
Hopefully he just hangs tight for the first 3.25 laps then kicks. The back half of this field could still run 3:55 if this race goes as fast as possible
He ran 3:39 for 1500 2 weeks ago. That puts him in 3:55 to 3:56 shape for the full mile. With the adrenaline rush of running Pre in Eugene, he could go a second or two faster than that.

3:39.59 * 1.08 = 3:57.2
He closed in 55sec. Definitely in shape for 3:53-55

Right—saying that 3:39.59 is "3:55 shape" is a stretch, but even if you grant that, AND if there's good weather, AND if the adrenaline rush gets him an extra 2 seconds, that's still 3:53, not 3:52. Essentially, if all conditions are perfect and he is actually multiple seconds faster than a time he just ran only 2 weeks ago, there is a SLIM chance he could go sub-3:53.
Again, nothing against the kid. He's insanely fast and my prediction is that if the conditions are right he crushes his old PR and runs 3:55.5 or so (for the record, 3 seconds faster than his current PR). That's still a freaking ridiculous time for a high schooler. But don't let the hype get out of control and start predicting unrealistic times.

same 1500 PR as the athlete special. i think your conversion is a little off either way

but him closing in 55 shows at least 3:36-7 fitness
