3:59.39***
First time 2 in one season. Congrats!!!!
He was about 2:01 at halfway so had to close in 1:58. Was actually in it for the win late. Fantastic performance.
Watched it, incredible discipline..
very efficient, and if folks do not understand negative splitting by now watch the replay
and never listen to Ventolin
best way to run fast? at least at this level, negative split with ease
Two Mile record if he wants it? Under siege

It was a only a slight negative split. Negative splitting with ease indicates you can run faster. Fishers pacing was almost perfect. Kinger being his normal ignorant self.
Sorry for the kind of peripheral post, but has it occurred to anyone else that one of the now seven sub fours, Marty Liquori at 3:59.8, converts to 4:00.04? Which means there's the potential for someone to be ahead of him on the high school list and not be under four?

Nope, does not "convert". The 0.24s "conversion" from hand to FAT is only for races that do not start and finish at the same spot (yeah, I realize that the mile start is 9 meters from the finish, but "not the same spot" in this case is 100 meters away). For a 400, it's 0.14s. In any event, for races 800 meters and over, there is no "conversion" from hand times at all.
I believe Fisher is the first high school runner to run under 4 when each consecutive 440 is faster than the previous one.
Slight negative split? He ran 1:57.2 for his last 800m.

I don't think that this proves that a negative split is the best way to run fast.
I feel it means he can run faster.
McNamara won in 3:58 and has a 3:52 PR.
It looks like he ran pretty even for 3 quarters and dropped a nice last lap.
I do think that two much of a drop off in the third lap is inefficient and he did keep it moving in the third lap.

Not anymore. That used to be the case. I'm a high school coach and all times are converted by 0.24.
I know it seems crazy, but that is the rule.
There is still a delay in starting and you could be off at the finish.
I am very often within that .24 with my runners whether it's the 100 or 2 mile.
