Seventh Grader Dolan Owens Qualifies for SC AAA State Meet in 800 and 1600

Ridiculous times for a 7th grader.

To be honest, its a bit discouraging too see that his mile isn't any faster considering that 800 speed. Definitely more speed based.

Ran with a guy in junior high that ran about 4:48 for the mile in 8th grade. Thought he was the s*it. Four years later made the finals at the CA state meet in the 1600. This kid seems to be on a whole different level!

Discouraging? More like expected. I doubt he has 5 years of aerobic training behind him...

One of the dumbest posts that I have seen in awhile. For an experienced runner aged 20+, you would be spot-on. This kid is in 7th grade though. Even for high schoolers, 2:00 is roughly equivalent to 4:30 (based on # of kids who achieve those times). In my state the D2 qualifying times are 2:00.xx and 4:30.xx. This is the norm.

To be honest you're an f'tard

What are the records for 7th/age 13?

13/14 NR is 1:56.x It would seem that he has well over 1 year to drop about 4 sec.

Not sure about the 1600.

1500 is 4:04.x

Wow, 1:56,... Who is it? Did heever become an Olympian? NCAA champ?

Chances are he never ran in college and is now somewhere on the site trolling telling everyone a young kid doesn't have speed endurance.

It was Elias Gedyon, no?

Cody Harper 2001

1500 is Jason Lienau 1983(!)

No such thing as a "full mile".

Why not? There is a half mile, quarter mile, etc. No?

Yes, Cody Harper. Went to Vliianova and graduated in 2009. PRs = 1:50 and 3:50, I believe...

Let's all agree to stop extrapolating...

Cranny's 4:10 is very good... 99.xx% of all the women running the 1500m would love to run this time... But it's worth 4:10...

This kid's 2:00 is nice... And it's worth 2:00...

So by your logic, we could have a half mile and a full half mile, a quarter mile and a full quarter mile...

Or perhaps the word "full" is superfluous in this context...

yes there is. your an idiot.

Obviously the point was to differentiate the race from the 1600 and perhaps more so to make it clear he meant a mile and not a 1600 which is the far more commonly run distance.
