With all these people like Daniels and McMillan and such saying that the success on the elite level is trickling down and inspiring high school runners I was wondering if we'll be seeing results from that. The number of fast high school runners has definitely increased since the 90s, but will that translate into seeing another sub 4 high schooler in the near future?
I'm gunna go out on a limb and say that we're going to see another one in the next 5 years.
yes. it will be me. Unfortunately, i'll get kicked off the team before i can ever drop that 3:59 in competition, but i'll run a 3:58 in a time trial a few months later after quitting school and training in the woods...
Definitely. Sub 4:00 takes a lot even with great coaching. Someone has to have a LOT of talent, be VERY dedicated, have great coaching, and have the perfect race. I still am amazed that 4:00 was broken three years in a row back in the 60s, but I am also amazed we haven't had more sub 4:00s or even sub 4:03s in the last 10 years or so. To be honest I thought I had a shot at it my senior year, but many things went wrong and I never came close. I still think had everything gone right I could have run 4:05 for sure, 3:59 would have been a stretch, but I think it was still a possibility. I'm sure there are others out there like me.
Joe Franklin.
Dylan Ferris- 4:06 and 1:49 last year
That's 4:06 for meters though. he ran a 4:08.1y in the open last year. Although I do think he might have the best shot at breaking, I don't think anyone is breaking 4:05 this year.

Actually we didn't hear it here first, and it's kinda pathetic to even try to attach that to your post...to try and make yourself look good if he breaks 4. Many people have already said it, you're quite late. Anytime anyone runs that fast that young it's a possibility and is hardly making some unknown prediction.
That being said, we've had several go faster and not pan out to a sub 4.
Miller and See both went faster, and neither broke 4. Injuries/sickness happen. See is still hte soph record holder i believe breaking Webbs record...and we all know what Webb did.
Jarryd Wallace FTW
Joe Franklin (sp) he looks like he may have a shot. I saw him last year while visiting Florida. He won the 16 and 32 on consecutive days at the Florida State Relays last March. Anyone no what college he is headed to or how he did at FLS?
