Seriously I get the excitement. When Miller ran this same basic time (he is like 6 months older than Sumner) last year, it was a sign he was going to run a fast 800. But 1:45 is a long way from 1:42.3. I hope they both get there. But it is far from assured.
Totally speculation that because he lost to Sumner, that he is going 1:14, seriously. He very well might, but that is more a function of what he is/was capable of yesterday than just losing to Sumner.
Has anyone heard how Flatts training has gone other than that he's running at Millrose? Great result for Sumner. Examples of fast 600s correlating with 800s in the same season: Saruni(doper now) 600: 1:14.79 and 1:45.15 indoor 800. Isaiah Harris: 600m 1:14.96 to 1:44.53 outdoors. Korir: 1:14.97 to 1:43.73 outdoors. Jones last year 1:15.12 and 1:45.83 outdoors. If Sumner doesn't run at least 1:46 indoors and 1:45 outdoors this year I'd be surprised.
This is an INCREDIBLE performance and shows he is a true stud. He will be as good as Brazier for sure.
Let me make sure I'm understanding this - You are guaranteeing he will 100% be as good as a world champion? No doubt the kid is a SUPER talent but that your comment is hyperbole.
Will Sumner, a freshman at Georgia, won the men's 600m at the 2023 Dr. MLK Jr. Collegiate Invitational with the eighth-fastest time in NCAA history.Website: ...

He will run as fast. I clarified that in a later comment In this thread. Of course nothing is a given. Some of you do not recognize how good this 600m is for a college frosh.

Yeah, it’s good, but nowhere near as good as what Flatt can do…

Yeah well that would be great if the US had someone else besides Sumner. We shall see.
