Centro and Acosta have a lot on their plate if they want the 1500 school record now.

May not count as school record since it has occurred out of season??

Looks like he hit the under on my 3:34.0.

I just keep getting pleasantly surprised.

3:30.9 is better than Spivey, Holman or Steve Scott ever ran.

This is amazing.

So is he 1500m runner an 800m runner?

I am going to say 15.

Gregson's time is awfully impressive as well, better than Willis or Buster (3:49 mile) ever ran. How old is he? Is he 20 yet? What a future for him as well!

Is wheating racing again?

He needs to go for Webb's record before ending his track season. Who saw that record being challenged anytime soon?

Wheating is much more of a racer than a time trialer so unless he gets into a very fast mile (3:45 or 3:46 low) he'll have a tough time getting that record.

He'll have a better shot at the AR for 1500 since there will be more opportunity for it. He and Webb could be nuts next summer.

Is it amazing that some American can finally break times that are 25 years old? I think it is not.

I don't think there are any further major mile races this season.

I say faster!

If Manzano can run 3:33, Wheating can run 3:32.

I am ashamed of myself... go Wheating!!!

I'm pissed off that I caved in and respected so many of you. I was honestly going to predict 3:31 but that would have seemed wildly optimistic next to all the predictions I saw. Wheating at Pre said he had been working the whole time towards peaking about this time. Combine that with his talent, a very fast paced race, near perfect conditions, and 3:31 is not that surprising. Its not necessarily even that impressive. its impressive but not THAT impressive. He was hardly that much closer to the winner in this race. And ominously two other African runners who didn't compete at Pre finished ahead of him.

I'll say 3:32. And he won't win. It looks like it will be good conditions for a fast race, albeit a little breeze.

When will be his first 2011 Outdoor race?

Better questions is where all of our star milers will achieve the IAAF A standard. Pre Classic only offers full mile and athletes have been told they only have 2 weeks after USA's to achieve stadard to be named to World team (must place inside top 4 to have a shot).

Could he get it at his opener at the Twilight meet in beginning of May?

Pre will have a camera at 1500m and there's a 1500m the next weekend in New York.

A reminder of what he can do
