Iowa State Championships Quentin Nauman 3:59.60 1600m & ridiculous (1:47, 1:49, 3:59, 8:57) quadruple

Wow very impressive triple, was the 3200m run the night before? Prelims for the 800m?

Also split 1:47.5 on Friday running the 1600m medley anchor leg (800m), going from 5 sec back to winning by 4 seconds.

Great to see that Heartland will have some good talent on the individuals side next year again

3200 Thursday 8:57 sit and kick. Friday an 800m split of 1:47.5 to win 1600 medley… Saturday morning open 800 1:49, Saturday afternoon 3:59 1600

The 1:49 / 3:59 won't be beaten for a while.

Does he also work at Applebee's?

Is that the first ever sub 4 1600m?

I'm looking but I don't see any outdoors in the last few years that aren't splits. Fastest I see is Grant Fisher's 4:00.28 in 2015

I don't think anyone has made clear he did the 1:49 and 3:59 in the same day, a few hours apart.

This has to be one of the best HS doubles up there with German.

Alan Webb, Drew Griffin and Gary Martin also run under 4 minutes for 1600. According to this article last year.

Drew Griffin Breaks National Record

Every sub 4 mile is a sub 4 1600.

Most hs sub 4's are done in full mile races which I'm sure you already knew before making this comment

An amazing performance at the state meet for him. Hard to judge, 1:47.5 split or 3:59.6 1600m, which is best. But quadrupling here like that is not the recipe for a long-term future. A little worrisome. Hope he comes out of this fine.

Drew Griffith ran 3:57.08 at PA state meet last year

Sure, but it seems almost yearly that someone runs 3.59.x at 1600m just so we get a long thread about that not being a 4:00 mile.

Or 3:42.x in 1500.

It's nice when they run mile/2 mile with 1500/1600 3000/3200 en route times, so speculation not needed.

Good thing we don't fool with 800/880 anymore.

All of the good runners quadruple at the state meet in Iowa. If you are a coach, you want to score the most points possible. 4 events is the limit for what you can enter.

And the meet is spread across 3 days with no prelims for anything longer than 400m.

No one bats an eye when a runner from IL runs 6 times in days doing the 4x8, 800, and 1600.

His splits for everything:

Thursday 10:45 AM 3200m: 63-70-74-71-71-67-63-55 = 8:57 (took lead at the bell)

Friday 10:00 AM 1600m SMR (800 leg): 1:47.4 (got stick in 7th, 4 seconds back)

Saturday 11:30 AM 800m: 55.5-53.8 = 1:49.4 (took lead at the bell?)

Saturday 3:00 PM 1600m: 59.7-61.1-61.6-56.9 = (took lead at the bell)

This was 3A, so schools ~500-900 students. There are 2 other excellent runners who led him in the distance events. All 3 of them are all juniors.

The other 2 guys ran this weekend... (4x8 was Thursday 12:30 PM)

Caleb Ten Pas: 1:51.4 (4x8), 1:52.2 (SMR), 1:51.2 (800), 4:03.5 (1600)

Canaan Dunham 9:06 (3200), 1:53.0 (4X8), 1:52.1 (800), 4:11.9 (1600)
