Michael Slagowski- 1:48.70 SOLO

This is legit:
http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=4658804#/L0
This guy ran 1:50i this year but only 1:53 last year (with 49.04 also). That's a 5 second drop in a year. That is high potential.

He actually ran 1:51.85 last year at Arcadia to win it.

Rye-chuss.

Notice he beat his school's girls 4x200 time.

1) Looks like even or slight negative split.

2) Fastest ginger 800 in US history?

Why Penn State?

why are there so many people on the infield? that's insane!

my mistake.

I witnessed it.

and a total of about 3 people there that had any idea of the performance taking place under their nose.

I KNOW I WAS CRINGING AT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION

Pulse invite doesn't have a running clock that everyone could see. Unless people had a stopwatch on the race for whatever reason, they would've had no clue exactly how fast the splits were or what was happening. People probably just assumed he was cruising to a 1:52-mid or something.

Same I was that one white guy watching...

54/54 splits. Looks like he'd make a fantastic miler. Not because he's white, but he never looked tired, while also I saw above he's "only" run 49 for 400m.

Watch the vid again.....it seems to me that the oval feels a bit too small - Seriously. 10 meter short or something?

So 1:48.7 for an 18 year old
