Murphy just out leaned Centro. 2:20.xx for the win I believe. Have to check results.

Theoretically they should have raced over 1,044m. That would have been a 30.4% increase in distance above the 800 and below the 1500 respectively. So to Centro's point, he may be at a slight 'disadvantage' but 1200m would be too long for a proportionately equal race.
With that said, if Murphy wins pulling away you could hypothesize he would have won at 1,044m as well. If, on the other hand, Centro just looses as he's barreling down on Murphy, you would believe he would have won at 1,043m.
All fun in speculation and statistics. Should be a fun race.
I think the figure you were looking for is 36.93%
800m * 136.93% = 1095.44m
1500m / 136.93% = 1095.45m
So 1095m would be the ideal distance.
1095m would be a 37% increase in distance for the 800m but only a 27% decrease for the 1500m. Upper hand would be to the 1500.

Did they run the first 200 backwards?

Can someone write out the equation we did to calculate what they'd run? I can't believe my math skills are that bad but now is the first time I'm looking at it and I'm struggling to make sense of it. I was largely offline for 2 days until yesterday, but I don't see an equation. I just see results.

Does Wohlhuter still have the American record? Looks like oldest that is listed from 1974.
Just as notable as how long 2:13.9 has lasted is the fact that no one has even come close.
#2 on the American list is two full seconds back: Krummenacker's 2:15.97 from 2002 (the year he ran 3:31).

i thought that if these guys really went after it, they could run around 2:15.00, but never thought that wohlhuter was in any jeopardy. That mark is incredible and still #8 on the world list.
