High Schooler Birnbaum Runs 3:37.92 vs Pros at NON #2 High School Time Ever

make that .93

birnbaum (3:37 literally right after a badass 8:31 2 mile)

Faster than any NCAA freshman this year. Would be 10th in the NCAA. Holy sh**.

If he can pull off the win over Leo on Sunday this could be the greatest single week for a highschool athlete in US history. 3:37 is crazyyyy.

perfect splits too.

42, 59, 58, 57

Jerry, don't screw it up. This kid has the goods.

Kid is having one heck of a senior season.

for more reference his 3:37 is equivalent to a 3:55.36 mile.

He ran the most uneven even splits I've seen in my life. He was the only one that tried to cover the move Hocker made, then Hocker dropped out at 1350m, then Birnbaum fell back into the pack, then kicked his way to 3rd.

I guess this makes him the huge favorite for the mile Sunday too. If he wins it, after that 8:34/3:37, it'll have been the most impressive week I've ever seen from a high schooler.

he's already a quite faster than college runners colin salhman and gary martin

*8:34.1

Is that right on Alan Webb's HS Record?

Burns and the Young's can step aside. Clearly the best high schooler this year.

It really wasn’t that uneven at all. 42.8 - 59.5 - 58.1 - 57.5.

Jack Daniels says that 3:38 1500m is equivalent to an 8:30 2mile. Good job, Jack.

The high school record is Kessler’s 3:34.36. Alan Webb split 3:38.26 en route to his 3:53.

So it’s #2 all-time.

His time is faster than any of the Oregon runners he'll be training with. IIRC, they're 3:38-3:39 guys.

where’s this “deadly kick” that everyone talks about. of course i’ve seen it in other races. but really? conor mantz the marathoner can run down and outlean the “deadliest kick in years” ????
