Aldrich Bailey - 45.13
The much better runner as far as I'm concerned. He broke Jeremy Wariner's state record. He will be a gold medalist one day trust me.
Texas A&M snatched him up. They just keep getting better...
Insane statements. He is not a "much" better runner, the better one? Probably. But Solomon at his peak was not challenged so who knows. His national champs were in April where he went 45.54 winning. He's just starting to race again the past month and is winding back into top shape. I think it'd be wise to see how the season ends.
Gold medalist one day, trust you? Really? How well has that worked out for most top 400 runners in the US post HS?
It's possible he could be a gold medalist, but anyone stating it as if it's a foregone conclusion is border line insane in the membrane.
