Donavan Brazier doesn't rule out a collegiate record performance at his first NCAA champs!!

I seriously doubt that the UK college system has ever had athletes like Rono, Ereng, Maree and Lalang in their competitions. Such a distinction probably would not be warranted in such a lower-tier system.

As you can see, when the record is not held by an American-born collegian, the American Collegiate Record is listed underneath.

And now you know!

I stand corrected. I cannot imagine why such a thing should exist. The fastest time run by an American born athlete in the American university system. Is this the record people refer to when talking about the collegiate record? The BUCS records in the UK are just the fastest times run in BUCS regardless of the nationality of the student.

OK I see the point vaguely, I still don't fully understand the neccesity in clarifying whether the athlete was born in the US or not as college has little to do with nationality, the NCAA'S are about the university teams. Anyway, why is there an american high school record that specifies American born kids only? Surely US high schools aren't overrun with foreign talent trumping all over the homegrown talent?

The "American High School Records" are a new thing, popularized by the BroJos. Lets run publishes crap talking about "American HS Records" and other outlets print the same garbage because their on-staff "running expert" saw it on Letsrun.

Down goes, Brazier! Down goes, Brazier!

As THE current American Collegiate Record Holder at indoor 800m , I will say yes it is something that we keep record of, and records we are proud of giving the number of foreign athletes in the NCAA Mid Distance/Distance events.

Well, I could not have been more wrong on this one. I'm going to double down, however, and say that he gets it right outdoors. What happened here? Did he fall?

He just pulled up, seemed to be a lower back issue, he was walking fine

What's your name?

How much faster is the real record?

Exceptionally well played--kudos.

Shame about the unnecessary commas, though.

Too much speed work this winter. Legs were toast.

I have long disputed that the True Collegiate record at 800m should be Enis Tuperitis (Spelling??) of Wichita St. 1:45.80 as it was truly run against other collegiate athletes.

Paul Ereng's time was run against Other International Athletes at a World Championships.

But if you need to know the American Collegiate Record is held University of Missouri's Derrick Peterson at 1:45.88 which was ran at the 1999 Indoor Championships in Indianapolis.

1 Derrick Peterson JR Missouri 1:45.88 10

2 Trinity Gray JR Brown 1:46.05 8

3 Jess Strutzel JR UCLA 1:46.48 6

4 Roman Oravec SO Southern Methodist 1:46.94 5

5 Robert True SR Illinois 1:46.96 4

6 Anders Christiansen SR William & Mary 1:47.19 3

7 Matt Kalwinsky SR Georgetown 1:48.13 2

8 James Karanu JR Arkansas 1:48.94 1
