Loxsom 45.9r split

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

Btw, Tabarie's 400 time does not count for anything other than qualifying. It doesn't go down as a SB, a PR (if it was one which it's not), or anything on a leader board outside of the Ncaa, it's as if it never existed. He's a 46 guy this year, never has gone sub 46 as far as the record will show.

Butch Reynolds only managed 60.86.

Why don't college guys run a faster 600? I mean Loxsom could split a 1:17 this summer enroute to a fast 800. And some HS kid just ran 1:17.6. I would think the better 800 runners with speed would run a faster 600

Taking about 800 guys. Anyone now anything in regard of Sean Krinik or Chris Fitzimons?

And? How many times did he run the 500 after becoming world record holder? 0?

He ran his 60.86 in 1986. I don't even know what his pr was before that year. He broke out on the world scene later that summer. Either way he wasn't the 43.29 guy when he set that mark. Just spitting out names who were extremely fast doesn't make sense without a frame of reference. What track was that run on back then?

It's like saying

Michael Johnson could run 19.32 in the 200, but couldn't break 10.09 in the 100! Yea that'd be true in 1994, but anyone with half a brain would know in 1996 he could have crushed that time as he basically split it on a curve. You can't just talk about PRs without understanding where they came from in a persons career.

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

a sub 1:17 was more is form.

That was 1:17 on a flat track.

Bumping for this. Where are they?

Tabarie ran 68.7 for 600y. Anyone know what that would convert to for 500/600m?

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

You would think, if it was so easy for a 44.XX guy to go sub-60 for a 500, that one of them would have taken it upon himself to do it. I mean, of the decent number of people who have run 44.XX, there has to be one of them who would be enthusiastic about setting a world record, even if it is a "soft" one.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. Nevertheless, I think we can all agree that Loxsom is having a very good indoor season.

rudishas PR is 45.5 and Borzas is 45.84. Maybe I'm a little too excited but if that 45.9 is accurate I am shocked.

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

He has more talent than Andrews or anyone else in the US. He has a shot at 1:42, maybe the 1:41's, at least. Laugh now. You won't be laughing in three years when he's one of the best of the world and all the usual jealous letsrun f****** are disparaging his every move.

I had 46.5

but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go 45. FAT timed at NCAAs

No, it's not like saying that. You possess a quarter of a brain.

Did anyone get Anthony Kostelac 800 split in the DMR at Alex Wilson last chance. He managed to beat Loxsom to the line and has had a solid freshman year. I don't beleive he lost a race indoors and won ACC's easily. Surprised Vig did not run him in a bigger 800 meet to see what he could do.

You had 46.5 hand-timed on a relay leg, yet you think he can go 45 FAT at NCAA's? Something is wrong with this picture.

Unless it is out of the blocks then it doesn't count (this isn't swimming), consequently it is all but meaningless.

In what world (other than NCAA) is the 500m even run? Why would anyone care about the WR in a non-event?

He didn't say it would be easy for any 44XX guy to break the WR. The only person he said it would be easy for was Clement who ran 44.57 indoors, and is a 400m hurdler, which that year would have been hard to disagree with. He made it clear he didn't think anyone could break the record.

Just look at who owns the record and that alone will tell you it is soft.

It was actually pretty much right on. Talking about someone's pr in a different distance and relating it to someone who ran a PR in another distance extremely fast at a different point in time is rather stupid. Butch didn't run his 500 time when he was a 400 god, he ran it before he became that man. Which was his point about Johnson. It'd be like saying a 19.32 guy couldn't even break 10 in the 100, even though his 100 time was from a few years before he ran his 19.32 and hadn't attempted it since. You just can't make that logical connection.

Mrr82's post was actually rather brilliant, and it's kind of sad that a pea-brain like you couldn't understand it, and just is spewing mindless hate. Quarter of a brain? There is something wrong with you as a human being.

I don't know, anytime I timed it whether it was from the hand-off or the middle of the exchange zone, I got something in the 1:45 range.
