Is he running as fast or faster than Michael Johnson was running at his age?
I hope he still has another second of improvement in him.

He is very close to breaking MJ's Baylor record for the 400. It might happen in Athens. But another second?? That would be almost WR territory, which took MJ years to accomplish. But he has to be the gold medal favorite at this point.
Step him up to the 800m and he's a gonaa be killer.

He is plenty killer right where he is.
I just hope that in the next few years he doesn't gain 25 lbs of muscle.
A 46 runner last year? He was 45.57 guy in highschool.
