HS Runner wins 4/8/16/32 at state meet.

8/1500 did he make it to the dream mile??

I remember Russel Brown did this in NH when he was in high school, so the kid's in good company.

"Nick Hartle of Centennial proved he is the dominant runner in the state with a stunning quadruple"

"He ran a surprisingly fast 47.79 to win the 400. He also took the 1,600 in 4:18.03 on Friday. On Saturday, Hartle ran 1:53.53 to win the 800 and 9:28.27 in the 3,200. He scored 40 of Centennial's 79 points on the way to the team championship."

Wow is all I have to say.

So, what do y'all think he will focus on in college?

I'm thinking he can eventually become a great 8/15 athlete.

Finals spread over multiple days in HS? Odd.

Aren't these weak times to win state championships? The 4 & 8 are pretty decent, but I know in my state (NJ) he would've been thrashed in every event..

That's impressive.

Not to hijack but this reminded me of Ted Ginn Jr's senior year in 2004. He basically won the D1 Ohio state title on his own.

1st in the 110H - 13.60 (10 pts)

2nd in the 400 - 46.88 (8 pts)

1st in the 200 - 21.51 (10 pts)

Anchored the 1st place 4x400 - 3:15:04 (2.5 pts)

=30.5 points

Second place team finished with 30 points.

NH is 1/8 the size of NJ. Since he won every event we don't really know what he could have run in any event if were pushed (although I'm guessing he was pretty close to his best at all the events.)

And I think the main point of interest is the 47.79 to 9:28.27 range, that is quite unusual and points to a bright future in mid-distance.

would of been more impressed if they was all on same day

He did this in Nevada, not New Hampshire, though your point still stands. Obviously the 1600 and 3200 times aren't that impressive, but that's still a pretty fantastic day. You also don't know how tactical the races might have been.

Also impressive to think that he may have been able to run faster. He was only pushed in the 400m.

Won the 8-16-32 by 3-10-21 seconds.

Russ Brown was NH.

His best even might be the 800.

As a guy who never even qualified for states in PA, it's kind of funny to think that I could have finished second in the 3200m in this kid's state.

Had you lived in this kid's state, you wouldn't have had the same upbringing, training, conditions and competition level as you did in PA. Unless you moved there your junior or senior year you probably wouldn't have reached the same level you did in PA. So you probably wouldn't have finished second in the 3200.

Kind of funny and yet kind of sad that we are not congratulating this kid for his efforts, yet simply comparing our missed chances and sob stories from days and years past.

Who cares if the times were slower than your state. The fact is he won four state titles in four very different events. The times are not out of this world for the 1600 and 3200 correct, but focusing on the fact that he still possesses phenominal range and ability for an 18 year old is evident more than anything. Few high schoolers in HISTORY have run a quadruple over 2 or 3 days I imagine, that included a 47.xx and sub 9:30 3200. Simply Incredible. Alan Webb may also have been one of the very few to have done this.

My conclusion from reading letsrun over the years is that 90 percent or more of Americans, and especially the youth, are sad, immature, whiney, spoiled bitches.

I simply said that it was funny. I think you're reading too much into that. Yes, the quadruple is a great accomplishment. I didn't say otherwise.

According to the link Hartle ran the 800 in 1:52.53, not 1:53.53.

I think this meet was at Reed High School in Sparks, NV so it would be at altitude (4000+ ft).

Hardly "Thrashed". Based on last years times in New Jersey he would have had 2 seconds and 2 3rds. Not a bad meet by any standards. And New Jersey only had two runners place in any two of these events.

Give credit where credit is due. By the way what did you run in these events?

It is good but like someone has said, it was over 2 days plus he had no prelims to run day before. It would be hard to compare with what some of the best could have done. Most state have 1 day finals with prelims the day before.

He did run 4:10 last year in 1600, has he run faster yet this year fresh?
