How bout that 45.06 from Sumner though?? As a 1:44.2 man is FLYING. Dude's gonna be a huge threat to the 800m in the coming years
It doesn't mean anything because if he was in 1:44 shape right now he would have raced the 800 this weekend. If he was in 1:47 shape, he'd run the 800.

"It doesn't mean anything" what? He's taking time away from the 800m right now (yet still managed a 1:48.2 SB)
For a 1:44 guy to be running almost sub-45.00 is damning. If that doesn't mean he's in 1:44 shape if not faster right now, I don't know what else to tell you

The 400 and 800 are different events. If he thought he was in 1:44 shape then he wouldn't waste his time racing the 400 when he had NO CHANCE of making team USA.

The point is that he is good at both. He's not "wasting time" doing anything... he's destroyed his 400M PB from back when he was still a high schooler, after three years consisting of focusing on the 800m and going through injury hell all of last year.
For him to be coming back this strong in an event he doesn't even necessarily specialize in is a hell of a good sign. Of course I wasn't expecting him to make team USA in either event but that doesn't matter.
The fact he has made it this far after being injured for so long and only adjusting to serious training for ~6 months is super encouraging. Really rooting for him

I understand your point, but doesn't it occur to you that 1:44 at these champs is also ran? I think it will take 1:42.0x to make the team
After scorching 44.1 just last month, teenage phenom Quincy Wilson dropped a 45.39 stinker to miss the U.S. Final. !!!!!
Super awesome talent, BUT...if someone doesn't clean up his running form you're gonna see a lot of 45 pluses from him. The faster he runs and more difficult it becomes, that terrible form will start to work AGAINST him.

Yeah it's almost silly to see him using blocks. Would probably be better off doing a standing start lol. They do nothing for him with the kind of form he has
