that Swarthmore meet is in many ways the definition of what is wrong with the sport today.
Can you go five minutes without pontificating on "the sport," please?

Way too much confusion here. The kid ran fast, period.
However, if any of us are really trying to put a spin on who is the most impressive of the above, I think Ryun takes it by a mile, no pun intended! SAme goes for the HS mile record. While Webb ran faster, I imagine Ryuan's effort was more impressive, given the time period, facilities,competition etc....
Also, if we want to disect whose 1500m was legit based upon pros being in the race, legitimacy of collegiate status and caliber of meet, I want to remind all that Joe Falson ran 3:35.8? back in 88 on a hot windy day in Fayetteville with no pros, no pacers, and 2nd place 9 seconds back. If that does not make his extra special, he claimed to have been in the ER with his wife from 2am-8am, giving him no sleep before his high noon race. But then again, he has the NCAA record for the biggest fish story (while wearing his college uniform!)
Rojo? You actually said this?
"Actually, he didn't actually run the record in season. The meet at Swarthmore was the day after the qualifying for D1 regionals ended"
Certainly you were kidding.
I do not think anyone considers the college season over with Regionals and a Major Championship still to run
So, College basketball is over after the Conf Tournaments
Some would argue it JUST begins with the NCAA Tourney
another just shocking commentary by you
NCAA keeps tecords only for the championship meet and that meet is after the season(per rojo).
So it looks like the truth is their is no in-season or out of season NCAA records only Championship records.
Anyone outside of the NCAA itself that keeps lists and assignes records does so under whatever rules they want to set.
