Loxsom 45.9r split

I'd say 45.9 is reasonable right now for an open 400 on an outdoor track. He definitely had to slow there to go around other people, that wouldn't happen in an open 4 because he'd have his own lane. Plus this is a 300 meter track so he had to run 3 turns rather than 2. I think those two factors would offset the running start.

Get him in an open 400 on windless day again some other 45.xx guys, and yeah, I think it'd be on.

That kid is getting into Borza territory with the 400 speed. Build some strength with that and he'll be a major 800 threat on the national level.

That kid is an animal! Him versus Robby Andrews this year is gonna be epic!

He also split high 1:45 in Penn State's DMR the day before, if anyone noticed.

Really?! Why the hell is this kid not on the front page?

Epic? I don't think Andrews has even raced this year has he? Where's he been?

Epic? I don't think Andre

I had the same thought right after I posted that. Anybody know?

I had him at 46.5

gotta remember he ran 61.2 for a 500m. Most 45. guys would'nt be able to do that

How many 45 guys have you seen try?

The announcer said 45.9 and there was a very poor view of him both receiving and handing off the baton.

Dont Forget about Harun Abda!

Coach Vig is redshirting Robbie Andrews, Lance Roller and a few others this spring. Andrews is coming off a stress fracture and taking time to get him back in shape. He is running and was a rabbit earlier this spring at the Garden for Lagat's run at the 2 mile indoor record.

Taberie Henry of Texas a&m went 61 low this year.. I know hes in the 45s maybe 44 high

Are Andrews and Roller red-shirting for the outdoor season too?

Yes, he's coming off a 45.07 year (44.77 in 2009), although he's not having anywhere near as good a indoor as last year, but maybe that'll change at Nats. But yes, he's a 45 guy who did go 1:01.2. So that doesn't really help the argument of not many 45 guys can go 1:01.2 lol.

That said, he also won that race. Last year he was more fit than he is this year. If he can go 1:01.2 unchallenged when he's .5 seconds slower in the 400 than last year indoors, i'm sure he could have gone even faster when he was in 45 shape in a race he didn't win by almost a second.

Lox=RIDICULOUS Seb Coe-esque talent...1:45 and 45 relay splits at 19 yrs old? Are you kidding me?

Wait until he moves up to 1500m...Think about the lousy weather he has at PSU to train all winter. True, they have a good indoor facility, but sheesh...He has a boatload of talent. Hope Gondak/Sullivan don't overrace him.

Loxsom is more speed than strength. No reason for him to move up. In HS i think his 1600 pr was low 4:30s and he was only high 17s in xc.

Little surprised Loxsom got beat at 600 and ran mid 1:17 at Big Tens. Thought

a sub 1:17 was more is form.

take any 200-400 type runner and put them in a 500.. its a totally different event most guys that do well in the indoor 500m are 400 hurdlers cuz they are mirror events.

The world record is 60.1 which is only a second faster than what Cas run. So im guessing you assume that anyone who runs a 45 second 400m can either run in the 60s for the 500m or break the world record.

Btw, Tabarie is having a good indoor season one of the few to go sub 46
