This kid is en route to his second all american season this year, running 3:4x and 1:47 as a sophmore, almost hustling McBride in the prelim. after some research on milesplit... the guy was a 1:54 high school runner???? What do they have going on in their training at Akron that every other school is clearly missing!!!
Akron got lee labadie a few years back. He has been a true impact. Also clayton and i use to compete in hs. He ran a 411 and 154 the same day at states. He has got talent but labadie has coached an olympian before so knows what hes doing.
Just ran 1:46.35 yesterday. Not bad.
LaBadie manages his studs pretty well it seems.
I doubt he can hang with the big boys to get to the final though.
He was a fantastic hoopster at Niagra. Despite being short, he had great career with Rockers.
4th at USAs, 1:45

You may be thinking of Calvin Murphy. He was best at baton twirling his 2nd best sport was basketball, that would be cool if it was him as he ran 1:45 for 800 today and he has to be close to 70 years old now, I doubt it is him, but maybe it could be his son.
Seems like a great kid with huge upside. Too bad he has at least another in that buttugly singlet!
LaBadie is a butt turd face
Just ask Lee how good he is......he loves to brag about his running career and coaching accomplishments. Most of the coaches who know him do not respect him.

Lee is very much a talker. However, if a coach does not respect his coaching ability, then they are poor coaches themselves and are not worth spending time to listen to. He is an outstanding distance coach with at least three Olympians under his guidance.
