What Track and Road Records Will Be Broken in the Next Few Years?

dont leave Solinsky out of the college mix, that guy is a beast. Hayward was a fluke, that is the last time he gets beat by Rupp, at least this year.

It's amazing because within the next 2-6 years we have athletes who could potentially reset a lot of the records on the track and on the road:

Tyson Gay: 100m(9.87)/200m(19.68) - he's 24

Xavier Carter: 200m(19.63)/400m? - he's only 21

Jeremy Wariner: 400m(43.62) and he's only 23

Bernard Lagat: 1500m/mile/2000m/3000m/5000m (got the 3000m ind)

Alan Webb: 1500m/mile/2000m/3000m?/5000m? (he got the 2 mile)

Matt Tegenkamp: 3000m/5000m

Ryan Hall: 10,000m/HM(got it)/Marathon??? (maybe not for 3-6 years)

Dan Lincoln: 3000mSC(got it)/3000m?/3000m ind?

Anthony Famiglietti: 3000mSC/3000m?/5000m?

Who knows if McDougal and Rupp will show us anything special later on also

i think its kind of hard at this point to be certain if solinsky will be a world beater or not. certainly it seems like he's headed in that direction, but only time will tell. tegenkamp didn't show anything until after 2 years out of wisconsin. i'm curious to see what direction mcdougal will go in.
