The Rabbit ran a 3:52 indoor mile

Can you name the guy, identify the race and provide splits?

Yesterday's 2000m race at the New Balance Indoor GP. Davis Bove was the pacer. He needs more credit form that pacing job and I'd love for Gault to interview him.

1600m

It was a 1600m plus a big truncation so more like 3:54.5. Still impressive, though.

great job by the pacemaker, but it needs to be pointed out that 3:52.9 for 1600 is not a 3:52 mile. He would have run something around 3:54.3 for a full mile. Great job, as he front ran the entire thing, without the benefit of accurate pace lights, and then no pace lights at all.

Two others posted same thing dip s-it

The only people still using this lame retort are terminally online losers who never go to parties. Moran.

This guy spits FACTS are parties, and I love a fact at this day in age.

That my good man is the line of the day!!!

Davis Bove's pacing was super impressive. I wouldn't be surprised to see a huge race from him soon.

It needs more to be pointed out that banked tracks are faster than outdoor tracks over middle distance. It gets proven over and over again by runners with their PRs indoors.

Galen Rupp for example, Augustine Choge. And nobody is even at their peak this time of year.

So biiiiiig deal. Rupp's mile PR was run solo eating a sandwich on an indoor banked track

I was super impressed. Kept waiting for him to drop out and he just kept going lap after lap.

I'd also be interested in an interview to hear how he figured out the pace lights were wrong. Like did he realize himself, did someone yell out to him, etc

Had never heard of him before this so for people in a similar boat - he went from LSU to Cal Poly for college and has run 3:35/3:56. His 3:52 1600 is right around 3:35 so he's clearly ready for a breakthrough when actually racing.

Agreed, I'd also be interested to hear when and how he realized the lights were wrong. I think it may have been after a lap or two, he relaxes a bit and comes back to the field. Maybe someone was shouting splits for him and he realized the lights were at whatever preposterous pace.

I also think it can't be overstated how phenomenal it was for him to nail the pace on the fly after expecting the wave light assist. Nobody would've faulted him if he had a couple shaky laps in there, instead he not only was the perfect pacemaker but went 400m iirc longer than was expected to.

Bove looked strong. I expect we'll see 3:50-51 from him this year, possibly just under 3:50 because drafting is a major advantage.

Don’t you still owe me $1000 regarding the Bobby Curtis vs. Galen Rupp lifetime 5km PR?

I’ll be happy to give you my Venmo.
