8:34 is better according to Purdy (975 vs 950)

Already committed to Oregon for 2010

That's sick!

Vid?

Only a second of the HSR- and judging from wind marks for sprints, conditions were less than ideal. What was his previous PR?

His previous PR was 1:50.1 from the prelims the day before. Before that, he had run 1:50.3 I believe. Making a 2.5 second jump like that is phenomenal. He ran 1:51 last year as a sophomore.

Atta baby Greer. Kid will flirt with 4:00 next year. Kid is smooth. Won state in the 1500 sophmore year and won the 800 this past season. Kid always has another gear.

He ran a really smart race. The guy from Arkansas really took it out, but Elijah stayed tucked in and made his big move with about 150 to go. He did look like he had more in the tank if needed.

We are going to be represented well in Poland.

Why does it say the world record is 1:42 by Kaki? It's 1:41.11 by Wilson Kipketer.

Well, there's my bonehead mistake for the day...I'm going to bed.

Thanks.
