Have you guys heard about this kid?
He was state champ in FL in XC...
He just ran a 151 split in his 4x8, and 9:10 and 4:11 this Saturday at FSU as a junior at Colonial HS...
He looks pretty smooth on distancepreps.com in his race videos....
I could see this kid going close to 4:00 with the right competition...
Anyone agree?
need to stop promoting your self. shame on you Andres
Haha, I am not Andres...
I just want to call him the next kid to run sub 8:40 or sub 4:02 before he graduates
FL REPRESENTIN!
Dirty south bitches
His 4x8 split was actually a 1:53
Runnerspace wastes a HUGE amount of bandwith on their videos, even more than Flotrack. This video in particular bogs down every second or two. This doesn't happen with videos from anywhere else.
I'm white, not Hispanic!

That's a pretty good time, 4:13 for a mile.
However guys were running 4:10 miles on dirt tracks 50 years ago. Maybe Arroyo will run 4:08 by the time he's out of high school. There's no guarantee of any faster times until he runs them on the track.

Great runner, but a bumbling idiot.
The last part is my impression of you.
I like the 1:51 split speed. Then all 3 times in one day!
I think your right that kind of speed seems to be a very good indicator of a 4:00 down the road a bit. Will see if I'm right...and you to. I coached 3 seniors who ran 9:12, then
down to 8:57 and just under 8:50...none could hit a 1:51. They got down to around 4:06 for the mile. Only one ever ran a 1:52 and that was fresh and all out for one race.
I won't be surprised by a sub 4:05 by the time he graduates, but Sub 4:02 is a lot to ask. Likewise, I could see a low 8:50, but sub 8:45 is a long way away. Kid has a lot of talent and good finishing speed and guts, but seems like he lacks a little bit of early pacing judgement and can lose a some focus in longer races. He seems motivated and well-trained.
BTW the 3 races at FSU were not all on the same day. Still an impressive weekend though.

Sounds more like 4:05.

LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL POSTERS FROM THIS OLD THREAD CAN EAT ANDRES'S DIRT!! BWAHAHAHA. WAY TO GO MAN!!
Arroyo is a monster
1:48
3:58
8:52
I say he'll get two of those times. Not sure which two.
Looks like a new German Fernandez in terms of stride, we'll see if he's the same in terms of toughness.

that's exactly what i was thinking watching him on video just now. fernandez with a bigger back kick. pretty darn smooth.
He just ran 1:47.79!
pretty sure he's run 4:04 already
