"So I talked to Joe's dad and here is the scoop:
He already has pr'd in the 800 and 3200 this year. They would like a p.r. in the 1600 (or mile). He will be trying to go low to sub 4 at Golden South, and then winning the 800 at NON(with another pr).
His only worries are running solo at Golden South in that hot, humid weather. If he can get a rabbit through the 800 in 2 flat, it will make it a lot easier for him to run the last 800 fast. "
Btw, the race at Golden South is a 1600m, but the owner of FLRunners.com has convinced Golden South to put up a camera/timer at 1600m and at 1 mile, they've now talked about adding a collegiate/adult to enter the High School race to pace Joe for 1200m. One must remember, in Orlando, in June, its VERY hot and humid.
Best of luck Joe!
