Will Joseph Socarras break Michael Granville’s high school 800 record this year?

If he and Lutkenhaus go to the same National meet I can 100% see Granville's record going down.

Surprised this performance didn't get more love from the Letsrun message boards.

Socarras led wire to wire. Gotta think he can go another second or two faster if he has a pacer and doesn't celebrate.

I'd also like to see him go for Sub 4 in the mile. He ran 404 1600 last year so I think he's capable in the right race.

and wasn’t it like a 2s negative split? Socarras and Lutkenhaus are both in shape to do it. The person who breaks the record will whoever is in a fast race first.

This race was completely underrated by the boards. Unbelievable performance, but almost suspicious. This guy would have just embarrassed high school Brazier and Sumner in this race

Nope

What tool celebrates 80 out?

Yeah, I hate to agree but you’re right. He’s also completely absorbed in himself. Quite an arrogant kid.

If Cade Flatt couldn't do it, no one can.

I disagree with this. I’ve interacted with him a few times. He is an enthusiastic kid who loves life.

Says a guy who actually never met him. The PC white-knighting is hilarious.

Tf? Both would still have destroyed him. SMH yall are idiots. He had a good race and good negative split. And he is still a long way from the national HS record. 1:47.6 and 1:46.4 are quite the margin

Yeah I’m rooting for the record to be broken but this is a dbag move.

I feel like I've seen this movie before.

IF he and Lukenhaus are in the same race, Im afraid he will break the record but be VERY humbled. There is no stopping this Texas kid. Face it. They need each other but the inevitable result will be Texas over Florida. He has the tools and is untapped.

I’d say otherwise…I had the chance to talk to him at Arcadia and he’s a genuinely nice guy who’s confident but respectful.

I don’t really understand what you mean by “extra special help”?

Steroids.
