2026 HS Sub 4 discussion

Brady Anderson soloed 4:06.5 at Mile City, leading by a huge margin most of the way and still easily winning his heat even though he tied up and some people were closing on the last lap. Pacing was not great, somewhere around 57-58 at the lap. With competition and more even pacing, he's got to be around 4:03-4:04 right now.

Never heard of this guy before. Turns out he’s from Nevada and he never ran NXR or any national meets during XC

Had to start this thread after Jamson Pifer broke Nico Young’s 2000m record split a 4:09 1600 en route. Looks like he’s really close to a sub 4 as he’s run 4:00.61 solo so far.

The Caleb Winders kid looks good already running 4:02 and 1:48 and beat Latrell Hughes (10.8 open 100m speed) in an 800 recently. I think he has the junior class outdoor record with his 1:46.

Cole Boone’s 2:20 1000m from last year is crazy fast and idk how that hasn’t translated yet to a sub 4 or a 1:46. He’s one to watch to watch as well

I have no idea what’s going on with Nauman or Spencer. I’m predicting maybe 6 sub 4’s this year. And we might see Winders go 1:45 in the 800m

Is it impressive to hold the junior record of 1:46 when a sophomore ran 1:42?

Shoes have rendered this accomplishment MEANINGLESS. 3:55, minimum, should be the new target.

The kid that broke Nico’s 2000m record and ran 4:00 solo in the mile has never made NXN or Footlocker lol. First time I’m hearing his name too. Looking forward to when guys like Mantecon, Nauman, and Spencer debut.

Brian Burns ran 4:01 low indoors already. He is racing Saturday at Arkansas Qualifier in the same mile heat as Simeon Birnbaum and a bunch of other sub four guys.

Yes. You could be an 18 year old senior in high school after the end of the season running 1:46.99 in July and it would be impressive.
