Dan Macmanamon. 4:14 1600, 2:59 1200 (DMR split) as a HS soph. Ended up going 1:49 outdoor 4x8 split and 4:10 full mile indoors as a senior. frosh year of college started blowing yayo and smoking more blunts per week than miles ran and still went 9:14 for 3200 in a practice time trial off 20 miles a week while pledging a frat (aka blowing yae and drinking till you pass out 4 nights a week and averaging 3 hours of sleep a night), and still managed to drop a 1:50 split indoors, flat track.
i kid you not, that 1:50 split meet the kid brought, his singlet and racing shorts, and a pair of white vents and nothing else besides the sweatshirt and sweatpants he was wearing and the flip flops on his feet, not even a damn toothbrush, not even a spare pair of drawers! warmed up on the infield of the clemson track (in the same clothes he wore all weekend for meet travel, a 3 day trip mind you) and dropped the fastest DMR 800 split in the whole race at the 2007 Indoor ACC champs.
During outdoor he got the boot for failing a drug test and offered the chance to return he declined and departed only to fade into anonymity. the kid was God given straight raw talent personified. an ounce of dedication, work ethic, or discipline... and i put the bank on it that he would've made Wheating, Andrews, and anyone else who came calling look plain silly.
