3:40.6 1500m by Aussie 16 year old tonight - Cameron Myers

Think he was born Jan 1st so technically 17 now. Crazy to think Jakob ran 3:31 albeit closer to 18

His birthday is in June. The Iaaf website is wrong

ah good to know. Will be interesting to see if he stays in Aus or goes to college in the US

Yeah, some people might call it...un...believable

Especially for a 17 year old, that's an insane time.
Purposefully, he will likely be aiming higher.
Or he'll burn out

Can we get a name for this unknown runner and a working link to the results?

I even clicked on the link and it’s a black hole. What’s the name and what’s the link to the actual result?

Here are the results.

There was a thread on himi last year when he ran 3:46 1500 as a 15 year old. Tilastapaja lists his DOB as June 9, 2006. World Athletics incorrectly lists his birthday as January 1 which is something they do if they don't know when you were born.

course was short

Looks like Jakob holds the single age (16) record at 3:39.92. So very close to the a-t best.

Very impressive. Jakob's mile from the same timeframe of 3:56.2 is probably the best overall mark (worth a 3:38.79 using 1.08 conversion)

Nice run, always love seeing the Aussies compete

Bring him to the US and some Wise coach will find a way to slow him down so that he has something left in the tank for college.

Bottom line, this is an outstanding time for a junior athlete.
