I remember some talk of this when he ran 1:45 and I thought it was way too early to tell, but after seeing the explosion of 800m times this year, I now think he will run 1:41 in the next 4 years. Keep in mind that now when I'm saying he's gonna run 1:41, you can't assume I'm saying he'll medal, or even that he'll come close to the AR. Also keep in mind Nico Young just ran 26:58 in the Olympic final like a week after turning 22.

I know a lot of people are gonna doubt me but I'm putting this one up there with my Hobbs Kessler will win Olympic Gold prediction in terms of conviction (like 80%). It would be like 95% if I could include Aaron but idek if he's gonna get to run at NAU so that will remain to be seen.

I think Cooper Lutkenhaus has a good chance at making our Olympic team in the 800 in 4 years.

Seb Coe is the lone 800/1500 runner in the 1:41's, even he has never ran close to Sahlman in XC/5k. Colin split 46.88, Coe has ran 46.87 from the blocks. Different levels of speed

It's impossible to run 1:41 without a 50 second lap and that's the factor that limits a real distance runner from achieving the time.

Joaquim Cruz also ran 1:41, ran 3:34, and won NCAA 1500m.

Will probably just peak in HS

I think he has a MUCH better chance at 3:27 than 1:41. I agree that Kessler could win in 2028 tho.

He’d fall off if he took drug tests.
