Well, Andrews is a 1:44 guy with multiple NCAA titles as an underclassman, how many of those do we have on the circuit?
He broke 1:45 once, 4 years ago. He's also not in the NCAA anymore. He can be back to his NCAA level if he wants, but liked I asked, so what?

Andrews' 800 PB (1:44.71) is from 2011 NCAA Ch. His most recent sub-1:46 was 1:45.06 at the NY Adidas GP June 2012. As for other of his best marks, his 1k 2:17.90 was from the Armory meet (February 2013), and his best 1500, 3:34.78 was from Oxy High Performance (May 2012).
In another thread somewhere on here earlier this winter, I stated that I thought he looked kind of lost and unfit in the races I had seen in the past couple of years. He did not look like that today (even if it was not a really fast time against a great field, etc., etc.). He looked fit, and he looked like he knew what he was doing -- or at least knew how to respond to circumstances as they developed in the race.
He did say in the post-race interview how much he likes racing indoors, and the 1k. That's good for him. It remains to be seen if he can maintain what looks like progress shown in this meet, and fit that progress into the 800/1500. I hope he succeeds.
Lets hope his new found confidence translates over to a standard distance 800/1500 with a group of specialists at 800/1500. He needs to win this year or at least run a 800 pb to show improvement.
Bump bc great discussion so far
I'm a fan but I'm not getting excited just yet.

How many times do you have to run 1:44 to be a 1:44 guy? One right? Thought so.
Did someone mention that he is still in the NCAA? Certainly wasn't me.
The point is that he has much more talent than anyone in the group of "1:46" guys you mentioned. Thus, even mediocre victories *could* be indicative of greater things to come.
