re: I like this guy...

I thought people were dumb for not mentioning Mulder...but WOW people are dumb, I've seen multiple people pick Cory Primm! Really? This guy ran one good rabbited race for a fast time but has NEVER shown up and ran well at the big meets (NCAAs and USAs or EUROPE) and has shown nothing that would indicate he can more than squeek into the final.

Jacob Hernandez has never broken 1:45 nor has she shown anything close to his NCAA championship form over the past couple of years.

The team with highest probability is:

1)Symmonds

2)KD

3)Mulder

This could be affected by how well Duane Solomon has been running early, whether Robby Andrews or Andy Wheating run the 8 instead of the 15, and whether any college guys like Jock, Greer, or Loxsom get hot like Centro did last year.

re: 3 for the money

45.98 is 45.98 not 46. If my goal is to break 46 then I'd be happy to see 45.99. I understand the logic of what some of you are saying about that, but don't discredit a man for running FASTER than 46. It's an FAT time not a hand held time so it's a legit sub 46. And don't compare other guys relay splits, Lord knows everyone runs different with a baton in their hand. I've seen guys run almost 2 seconds faster (FAT splits) in a 4x4 then their open 400.

Symmonds is a beast, looked great running DMR at Penn Relays. It's an Olympic year, so guys seem ready to bring it. I like how Jock is so aggressive in first 400, I hope he continues to run that way.

re: Go for GOLD

45.98 is 45.98. It is stupid to continue to debate over whether it is a 45 or 46. It is 45.98.

And I see some genius decided to pick Primm right after I outlined how idiotic you have to be to think Primm will make the olympic team

re: Dave Wottle

As a person with a 400 PR of exactly 45.98 myself, and thus the foremost expert on these boards about this topic, I'd say yes: DS is a 45 and not a 46 runner. Yeah, definitely. ;)

Solomon

Primm

Jock

Duane Solomon over the weekend ran 45.98 in the 400 which is a world class time for 800 meter running standards. He ran 1:45 already this year and seems poised to make a run for 1:44 low this year and a spot on the olympic team.
What other 800 meter runners in the US are capable of running in the 45's in the open 400?

Former US 800 meter grreat Mark Everett ran sub 45:00.

I think Albertao Juantorena is the only world class 800 guy with a faster 400 PR than Everett.
