Not 20 seconds - not that I completely believe it is this much but 1 sec per 400m - would be 8:42.xx indoors. Which considering that was run in the 60s and 70s by HS runners on horrible tracks, I think that might be a little too much.
Is there a penalty for backing out your national letter of intent? With how fast he is, he could go to NAU if he'd want to go pro. Or since he already chose a good school, he's surely fast enough to have Santos get him at Stanford
Okay but genuinely what is up with the past few classes in high school, how are there SO MANY fast guys? Everyone hyped up last year's seniors so much but this group seems to be even better.

Yeah
everyone turns down money from ND to go to an NAU
Are you that delusional?
on this race, the only rub i have is that these are billed as National Champ events
but with not only a pacer that steps off, but pacing lights as well
Thats just me lol. You can argue shoes and tracks all day long, but both of those certainly did not happen 20 years ago. Which is why i have always sais Webb would have easily run 8:30's in 2001 after watching his 8:45 on a flat below avg track in Md.
Sure, but those have been coming out since 2017. It's been nearly 7 years, and it seems to me that the number of performances like this, or the number of high schoolers capable of them is growing on a more recent basis. Maybe starting to train super shoes early on has a positive impact? I'm just curious.
Times were fast a few years ago - it was the shoes. They are way faster now. What is it now? The talk of shoe technology was overblown then and 2024 is proving it.

I agree - Kids are just better than they were.
It’s still the shoes
Honest question - Have shoes gotten better in the last 3-4 years after the initial "jump" in technology that many complained about? If yes, show us some science. If no, explain why HS kids and college athletes have continued to improve drastically?
