usa autos for both

Are they both going to UW or is Tostenson going to BYU? Either way, them both going to top 3 coaches/programs in the country is so exciting. At this rate, before LA 2028 there are gonna be multiple sub-3:30 Americans in the NCAA.

Tostenson and Powell are both going to UW Tavyon Kitchen is running at BYU

Incredible runs

My Hobbs Kessler propaganda narratives grow stronger by the day

And here I was kinda sad that Washington’s reign over the 1500/mile might be coming to an end. We may have only just begun.

Alan webbs record might be getting broken

Powell is a true high school senior and Josiah Testosterone has been 19 and supposed to be going onto his sophomore year of college.

This is cool. Roughly the wheels I figure you would need to run something like that. Wish he ran it under official timing.

Crazy stuff. Unbelievable that American children are running 3:36 routinely now. Speaking for the coaches of LRC, it's a special delight to see the coach's son crushing it like this.

Neither, it’s testosterone as you note.

Those are the 2023 standards. 2025 auto standard is 3:35. They did hit the minimum (3:39) though and are in the pool.

Does Washington have anyone who can keep the streak going next year? Powell and Tostenson will probably be too young.

19 doesn’t count as high school. Bro failed 5th grade

Tostenson is already 19, Kitchen will be 19 in August. So, they're older than your typical high schooler, no doubt. They are still awfully good. And I'd take a 3:36 college freshman on my team any day of the week. Their times are among the best U20 athletes we've ever had. Powell is obviously one of the great college recruits in the distances. 1:46.6/3:36 already and a very strong kicker. Andy Powell knows that with Tostenson and his son, UW has a lot more titles in store.

Took a minute to decipher the headline.

I saw that "Josiah.....3:36" and I thought it was a Bible verse.

Had not heard of this Torstenson fellow.

Seriously, I'd suggest not applying that nickname unless there was good reason.

Well if he failed 5th grade, wouldn’t he have been ineligible to compete senior year?

It’s gotta suck to be behind another runner by just a step in every distance throughout what anyone would consider a legendary season yourself

The saving grace is knowing that it could be worse, you could be 20 seconds slower. If you're only a step behind you could be a few steps ahead within one good block of training.
