      • Very impressive and the course surely aid in Luke breaking the sub 4 minute barrier; however, not by a huge amount. Would love to see him in a mile race on the track this year with a race won in around 3:56-3:57. Surely he could CLOSE to breaking 4 minutes later this season.

      • I think the same thing. It was definitely downhill, but not so significant that we shouldn't expect to see a very good mile shortly. Some of the people he beat were good college runners as well.

      • He should have went to Wheeling. Instead of 80 ft drop, Wheeling is 200 ft drop. He could have run in the 3:40s.

        What do you consider "a huge amount?" It had to be worth at least 10 seconds. I think that is "a huge amount" in a mile...

        No, Ptacek ran at least a 4:05 at Notre Dame. Its hard to say if he is in that kind of shape now though.

      • Looks like the kid may have won $5,350. $350 for 2nd overall, $5,000 for the sub4. Whether it's $350 or including the bonus, his school just received a nice contribution to their scholarship fund.

        Too bad he can't accept any of the money if we wants a Div 1 scholarship.
