re: MaMiler

Went to watch the meet this evening, had a great time. Besides the fact that Ratcliffe ran 4:01.5 (which was about what I expected), I was very impressed with how he handled himself in a very crowded race. I think there were 17 or so men in the fast heat. His positioning wasn't fantastic but when he realized how much work he needed to do over the last 600 he really attacked. Just couldn't quite get to the line fastest enough. I was very impressed and think that in a slightly better race situation and with better positioning he could find a couple more seconds out there to dip under 4.

Definitely excited to see him take down that great Salazar state meet record on Saturday!

Drew Windle #2 with great race

1:46.81 good result for Windle. Still hasn't improved on the breakthrough 1:46.52i he ran in Feb 2014 (on 300m track).

Seems to have the tools. Going to have to get to 1:45 low (at least) to be factor at Trials.

I really would love see it get taken down. MA has seen a lot of great high school runners the past 15 years, with several serious attempts at the record. People have just missed it, but Ratcliffe is probably the best shot in a long time if he runs

He will run,its not often a kid gets to make history and he knows the value of it

to his young career. His dad knows the heritage as well.

Told you. That record never goes down. Every year we bring it up and no one beats it

re: one to go

Agreed. Gotta assume he's in better shape than in college, right?

re: No way Jose

There's talk of giving it to him as Sal's record was before FAT, and it is just so old. We'll see
