Nothing wrong with that when you're running 1:52 indoors.

Nice times for HSers but nothing out of the norm for this time of year. What are each of their personal bests?

You have no idea what you're talking about...

PA HS Kids.

Lewis ran 1:50.05 over the summer, no idea what Ritz has run in the 800 prior to this.

One will be injured come June and the other not improved. This happens every year with the northeast and everyone's all like holy s%it and then surprised we never hear from them again.

If these kids want to bust fast times early in the indoor season and then disappear, they should go to Penn State

ritzenhein ran 1:54 in high school, probably in a relay, if I recall.

John Lewis National Champion in the 800.

1:48.33
