Soratos (Montana State University) runs 3:55.xx!

I'll agree with you on all that. I just like to compare one race distance to one race distance.

I don't use altitude converted times as PRs. I use real times run for actual PRs. AA times are good (read: great) for qualification purposes.

LR split gurus, he ran a 4 sec negative split, what could he have gone on even splits? With that kick and those splits, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go 3:52.

Negative splits > even splits

Said no fast miler ever.

So sick.

Someone send me this kid's email. I feel like I should paypal him and buy him a beer. His mile pb coming into the year was 4:06. He did have a 3:43 1500 pb but what a freaking improvement.

Had another decent MSU miler to train with last year (huge reason for his improvement). They both ran well at Big Sky outdoors last May.

rojo!

dont buy him alchol man! it will ruin his running.

buy him a lap dance or a gatorade or something like that. something he can benefit from...

King Ches fears anyone!

I don't know. Track looks short. Looks like the laps were only 200m each.

How is nobody commenting on this kids sonic socks? Epic.

god those are cool

"I'm just here so I won't get fined" -Christian Soratos response to first post race interview question on Flotrack.

Hilarious. He said he thought it'd be appropriate as he was in Seattle.

Any guy man enough to wear Sonic socks is clearly on another level confidence wise.

How does this guy train? What was training like each year?

Amazing progression:

4:02, 3:48, 3:43, 3:55 mile

Incredible!

He reminds me of Rashid Ramzi, Rita Jeptoo, Lance Armstrong and Justin Gatlin! Just an incredible athlete.

From a 3:43 (4:00 mile equivalent) to a 3:55 and closing the last 100 like a sprinter. Seems soo legit.

LAWL.

Pretty crazy that no one has even mentioned this, but Daniel Winn back in 4th broke the UO indoor record in this race (though Chez broke it a few hours later). Faster than Rupp or Fleet ran and it was his first time breaking 4. Came in as a 4:01 1500 guy out of HS. Good on him. Amazing race and amazing weekend all around.

DOES NO ONE HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THIS RACE? LINK? RUNNERSPACE? YOUTUBE? NOTHING?

HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING HOW MANY CAMERAS WERE AT THE DEMPSEY.

STUPID FLOCASTRATION MAKES YOU PAY...NO THANKS.

NCAA would probably strip him of eligibility if you do.

Seriously!!!! GET US A LINK! Screw FLOCATRATHON

What does it mean, "doping in the off-season is the new doping"?

Former Salinas HS runner, wins indoor mile in 3:55.27

Cristian Soratos ran 4:23.36 as a high school senior at Salinas HS in 2010 before competing at Hartnell College. On Friday, at the Washington Husky Invitational, the Montana State senior ran 3:55.27 to win the men's mile.

You can read all about his effort at this link:

You are probably thinking of Grant Grosvenor, who transferred to Oregon and was mainly an 800m guy, though obviously also a good 1500 runner. Matt Tex just ran 1:49 at UW and has won the BSC 800 twice (I think) so he's obviously a tough guy to train with on short stuff. Jake Turner made it to XC Nationals as an individual, so ditto for long stuff. And Trevor Polson, Seth Garbett and Mike Asay are all fifth year seniors like Soratos. My impression sometimes seeing the team train over the last year (I work at MSU) is that they've been busting their guts.
