Edward Cheserek Runs 2:21.2 1k Time trial yesterday!!!!

High School Running Distance

I was at the track yesterday watching Edward Cheserek do a time trial in preparation for the Dream mile and left the track stunned.

He had teammate Naija Omari take him through the 600 with splits of 27.0, 56.2, and 1:25.5.

Then he took over and ran 1:53.9 and finished it off with a 2:21.2 so even though it was hand held it would still be under 2:22!

It was prob one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

My prediction for the Dream Mile 3:56.5 if the rabbit does a good job at getthing them out in 1:58 or 1:57.

What would a 2:21 usually indicate you can run a mile in?

3:53.5 using my formula, which probably doesn't apply to middle distance races.

I'm really surprised he didn't break 4 already indoors. At Van Cortlandt he ran his first 1200m of the race in 2:55 before holding on to finish the 4K course in under 12 minutes. You have to figure he'd then be able to open up a 1200m for a MILE race in 2:55 and then finish the last quarter in sub 65

Not that impressive for a 24 year old.

We contacted the Meet Officials after his 1k time trial and we have requested another rabbit for the race. There will be a rabbit attempting to take him through the 800 in 1:57 for the 880. Edward usually struggles with pacing early in the race so our main goal will be to keep him under control to the 880 and let him go. We are hoping for 3:53 and a possible national record.

I tell you that mann is gonna Smasche every highscool record in the 20-and-oaver division. Its toobad he wont quite reach 25 by the time he gradiates since I think he dusurves a Shott at that highskool Agegroup too.

Umm, I'm pretty sure Cornelius Chirchir would still have the national record with his 3:30 1500 after conversion

I'll bet you any amount of money he didn't go out in 2:55

he probably meant the high school record.

in addition to chirchir who's time converts to a 3:46 mile, 2 kenyan juniors have run a 3:49 mile with the record 3:49.22
