kid needs to quit running the mile and develop his speed to focus on the 800 down the road. There are plenty of future sub-4 guys, not many 1:48 HS guys with 400 speed.

Tell that to Sebastian Coe, Steve Cram, Steve Ovett, Peter Elliot etc... or any other top miler in history. There's plenty of Kenyans the same age that can run 1:48 on half as much training, nutrition, guidance etc... This kid needs to get stronger while developing his speed and you'll see a national class 800 guy but probably a world class miler come from him.

Empirical evidence that EPO has made its way to Wyoming!

No. EPO has no benefit for Wyomingites.

Wyoming gets a talent every so often. Shauna Smith, from Sheridan, won the Division 1 400M hurdles in 2005. I watched her run for U of Wyo. several times. Most of the time, she would be coming into the home straight completely alone.

Sounds like Wyo. has got another phenom.

Desiree's brother has the mile surrounded but has yet to take any prisoners. Maybe he needs to start focusing on mid term foot speed velocity.

Sub-

I think he's got an invite to Dream Mile already, but if not he is squarely on their radar.

Fracking? Has it affected the ground water?

This is impressive considering how bad the weather is for running. WY is the windiest state in the US and spring and fall tend to get big snowstorms. Complete crap shoot when it comes to planning training.

The winter training is practically impossible. This is why I think this kid Ricky is possibly under trained.

He got his invite and is officially on the start list for the Dream Mile!!

I hope he takes down all the big names!
