Jeremy Wariner 46.43 for 400m Today

LOL

It's CRAZY windy here in Austin today. Real pity too...overcast and perfect temps.

Why the hate on Wariner? Last I checked it is only

April, and very early in the season and he won by well over a second. He still has a better shot to medal and possibly win in London than any american distance runner that is revered on this site.

what about lagat?

Well, I guess we'll have to wait for better conditions to be able to tell anything about Wariner.

46.43 is no news.

Warner won by more than a second. He hobby-jogged, at least for him, the race.

I don't know if he can run a sub 45 this year but we'll know soon if this was a fluke or just not his year.

Wariner is predicting sub 44 this year.

Hi ego predicted a sub 44. Egos and reality are not related. Maybe be can, but sub 44 is no easy task.

"Wariner is predicting sub 44 this year."

...and I'm going sub-11 this year...I SWEAR!

It's all about the pace and that's the entirety of it.

It will be interesting to see who does what in the men's 400m at the UTECH Classic today, especially Dwight Mullings.

Martyn Rooney ran 45.92 today at UCLA. He'll be racing Wariner at Mt. Sac.

Anybody think the fact that he's running low key meets against crappy runners means something?

Is everyone hear ignoring the fact that he ran this in heavy wind?

Well, Wejo.

You cherry-picked two guys to conclude the weather did not slow the runners down.'

What about the other dozen or so?

Are you trying to make a judgement based on facts, or support a presupposition with a biased slice of the facts?

I didn't cherry pick at all. I said I did this quickly.

I did the first 2 people. They didn't run that much off their seasonal times.

In doing them some had results on TFRRS and not all-athletics.com. I knew a college senior from Texas would just be on TFFRS and would be easier to find times for. SO I skipped to him. Later I can try and do the rest. I did 3 people and they all weren't that slow. I included the fact that there was a huge, huge wind. I was trying to figure out how much slower it was from the other people in the race but couldn't determine much.

Okay, I won't "right him off", although I must admit I left him off of my latest projected US Olympics team for this summer.

Quentin went 46.67 indoors this year, and all 4 of his 400's indoors were faster than this 3 sub 47s and one 47.40 which was his season opener in January. He's a former mid 45 guy who's back in shape. That's probably the only good example on there.
