        HOW TALL IS HE? LOL

        He looks 6'5" next to everyone else but I doubt he's that tall.

      • Dude! Save the MF and the !!! for the mile or 800! I thought he'd just run 1:47 or 4:02. Nevermind that 2:24 is basically that good. I wonder which McGorty will be the best in 6 years or so. Sean's ascended higher on the ladder, but Brandon seems to have more talent.

        Brandon seems to have a lot more upside than Sean when it comes to the 1500/mile (eventually at least). I think Brandon has a shot at the HSR in the 800 this year.

        Like the other guy asked, how tall is Brandon? 6'3", maybe 6'4". Anyone know?

        I think I agree, but it's hard to say someone has more upside than their sibling when their sibling has literally run a 3:53.

        He ran great during XC for such a big kid. With that strength and his speed, he's a good bet to beat that 3:53. Brandon is not overtrained like so many other top HS athletes. On the other hand, anything beyond 3k is not in his future other than for experience/conditioning. Vids of him (from the side) running remind me of Jim Ryun in some ways, big, strong, great natural speed at 400.

      • Oops didn't mean to do that twice. Was hoping it would have an 800m equivelant didn't realize that it only does 1500 and up

      • Trackbot/Daniels is wrong for short distance events. Equivalents are 4:06.55/1:51.17. About right for #5 HS time.

      • A few answers....

        Brandon is 6' 6.5" (I'm his coach so I just asked him).

        I believe the time is US#6 All time
        Robbie Andrews-2:22.28 (2009)
        Ben Malone-2:23.56 (2012)
        Alan Webb-2:23.68 (2001)
        George Kersh-2:23.85 (1987)
        Miles Irish-2:24.10 (1983)
        Brandon McGorty-2:24.13 (2016)

        I think he and Sean will both enjoy successful careers on the track, albeit at the different ends of the spectrum (Brandon has better speed in the 800/1000), while Sean is more gifted at the longer events.

      • If he ends up going to Stanford like his big bro he won't achieve much on the track, but will have a great network for a job.

      • nonsense. his brother ran 3:53 mile indoors last year. Brandon may even be better.

        I think that is his point. Stanford seems to have a knack for damaging great talents to the point where they only produce a handful of times during college and are injured most of the rest of their collegiate career.

        Regardless, they're clearly both real talents and I hope they both reach their potential.
