Swarthmore short

Kyle Merber thinks it is legit. Big tailwind

No. It's not. It's a late season meet with great competition. Stop being a hater

398m

Tornado effect

No need to insult other people just because you couldn't run as fast in your career. Sometimes people are far more talented than you are, no matter how hard you work.

Yes. They bought a bargain basement brand track and every time they power wash it with hot water it shrinks.. Currently it is down to 347 meters.

i think most feel it's short. Does anyone live near that track? The next time I am on the East coast I am going to go to the track with a wheel and measure it once and for all and post what I find.Seriously, this needs resolution.why swarthmore anyway? there's a ton of tracks closer to where he trains, right?Merber just PB'd by 7 seconds that one year? ok

Measure it on Google Earth using the path tool. Usually tracks come up within 20-30cm of 400m if you take your time with it. If it's off by more than that, this question has the tiniest amount of validity.

Just measured and this track is not short it exactly 400 like it should be. I measured other 'legit' and 'accurate' tracks for reference and they all come up the same as Swathmore's.

The Nike Swarthmore Short is nice for racing kit, but overpriced.

Must be built by the same people who did Rieti. And Stanford. And Florence. And Brasschaat.

I think it was built by the same people who did the track where that one guy that I don't like/am jealous of ran that fast time that one time..

You know they don't certify tracks from the inside line, right?

Any track that has the line on the inside lane one measure 400m is illegal.

do you know that measuring a track remotely utilizing an internet app is not proof of anything but flawed thinking.

Thanks guys! Now that you're done, can you measure the width of this human hair with a yardstick for us?
