Do you think Jeff See is capable of a 3:53 mile. If he is then he is the next Rob Myers.
Fastest "CURRENT" US milers
Lagat - 3:49 (US) 3:47 Kenya
Webb - 3:48 mile
Myers - 3:53
Lunn/Jennings/Krummenacker - 3:54+
*This list only includes actual miles runs. 1500 meter equivalents are not listed
Is Myers ready for a mile in the low 3:50s again.

Yes.
Lunn, Gabe, Krumm are not quite 3:36/3:54 shape in my mind. Lunn hit 3:37 last year, but he's fading with Krumm. Gabe has potential, but seems stuck at 3:40. I'd love to see them come around and I hope they don't fall off the map like Robison, Rankin, Berryhill, McGowan, Gruber, etc.
Lukezic, Meyers, Fam, Symmonds, and Teg are our future behind Webb and Lagat in in 2007.
Symmonds? When he breaks 3:57 I will at least listen to a comment about "the future"
I wouldn't say that Rankin has fallen off the map yet. he was doing well last year until he broke a bone in his foot in the 800 semis at USA's
Good mens meet; terriblem womens fields.

Pat Sovacool is an up and coming talent who by his senior year could be a possible all-american.

It says that Tom Roof sent it in. If you read this Tom did you get the steeple and if so could you send that in as well.
I would like to see the steeple
Lunn is the old vetran still holding on. He held the fort during a dark time for US mile running until Webb, Lagat, Lukezic, and Myers came on the seen. It is strange how US milers suddenly got faster.
Krummenacker is also getting up there in years. Both Lunn and Krummacker were born in 1975. That was the summer of the shark (JAWS) if you remember. Krummenacker will post his annual 1:45 or under 800 meters this year. As long as he can run at least 1:45 we will still Krummenacker still competing
Is Dauby Myers coach or is it myers or a friend. Everytime Myers is mentioned in a thread Dauby name pops up.
PREDICTION MYERS 3:52 AUGUST 2007 - SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE.
I think he can be at least as fast as Jeff Atkinson was back in the 90's. Lukezic and Myers will be in a dogfight at the 08 trials for the third spot. Both will most likely have the A standard again by then.
In reality, the thread was regarding a race ran at Ohio State, which is why I got involved in the discussion. It then went on to the mile.
bump
That is too bad to hear that Myers has left Gary; has Olinger left as well? Always seemed like those guys would always work with Gary.
What is Dauby's background; are they both coached by him? Those are two of our bext Americans in their events.
a few photos from the race are up on: www.runohio.com
