CO runner wins 800, 1600, 3200, 4x800 at state is 6-1 193lbs

It'll be fascinating to see what his progression is like in college. He's so physically developed already there's a chance he might not get that much faster.

On the other hand, maybe he drops a bit of weight and develops into a stud.

I am glad someone said something. Guys like this are why I hate Letsrun.

Letsrun taketh away and Letsrun giveth.

No disrespect for the reporter and/or Green, but I coached a 110/400m hurdler and all-state tight end who was 6-1 185 and he looked bigger than Green. Not saying he isn't 193, but the eye test says he's probably about 10 pound less than that.

Hard to tell from a picture on the internet. Let's say that he is actually 20 lbs lighter. That would still be incredible to win the 800/1600/3200 in 5A in Colorado, let alone at 173 lbs and 6'1". When I saw the picture of him I thought of Izaic Yorks immediately--who ran 3:53 at UW and was known to have much stronger legs than you'd expect in distance runners. I would not be surprised at all to see Green developing into a great runner in college as he gets the training partners and the shape. Even if he is only 173 and he loses 10 lbs, he will be sub 4. If he has more to lose, he'll be just that much better. A great prospect.

Exactly. If you're 6-1 and weigh 193, that means you're AT LEAST 25 pounds over your ideal racing weight. A dude who can run 4:09 at 193 would leave Centro in his dust at 168.

This kid is 175, 180 at most:

His sister, Claire Green, is at Arizona, and very good at 2:07/4:39/15:49

What do you mean there's "no way he weighs 193?" Do you think the Denver Post reporter interviewing him just pulled that number out of a hat? His weight would have been provided by Green himself, unless you think Green has no idea what he weighs.

Sure, quoted weights are wrong all the time. Pat Tiernan was reported to be 183 lbs last year... unsurprisingly turns out he is ~145

That IS HUGE by anyone's standards. It is not super tall, but 193 is 60lbs more than I ever weighed in HS and I was 5'10".

He is an amazing talent, maybe "amazing" does not sufficienlty describe someone who won the State XC twice and ran 1:52 as a soph.

I don't see where anyone was being degrading to him, most everyone was complimenting him for being literally in awe. Lighten up Francis!!

Great moniker change dipshit .

You questioned the validity of his 800 victory .

We get it . You're half a foot shorter and nowhere near his zip code in PRs .

I would agree with that as athletes that are lean, but very muscular can appear to be heavier that their actual body weight. The point here is that I'm assuming Meyer of The Denver Post got the 193 lb figure during the interview from Green himself (?). So, if most everyone here is convinced that he doesn't comes close to 193, then why would Green give this weight? I would also think his coach after seeing the article and disagreeing with the reported weight would contact Meyer and have it corrected (since it's way off from the 175 - 180 lb estimate that's been referenced from previous articles on Green). As a coach, wouldn't you have an article corrected if there was erroneous information about one of your athletes? (and who knows, maybe Green or one of his teammates from Monarch will straighten this out 🤔).

The guys a total STUD on one hand, But..... there are others that could easily hand him his ass on a plate! I could see him being a Decathlon champion eventually but his times aren't singulary good enough to complete with the top guys in those individual events - Do 'well' - Yes, but until he runs around 4 flat for the mile - 8:40's for two and sub 1:50 for the half, he's just talented; not special.

Hey dude, if he's running ~4:12 @ at a body weight of 193 at 18 yoa, he's not only talented, but VERY special.

How is that huge by anyone's standards? You must not be in the US. That's actually LESS than the average American male. According to the CDC, the average American male is 195.5 lbs (and average American woman is 166.2 lbs).

Thread I made after Arcadia, I totally agree with you about Yorks

Make that sub 4:10 at sea level already - we won Arcadia this year. 4:12 at altitude. Seems like a great kid.

Read the article people.

Clair ran 4:24 I believe just a few weeks ago

She is awesome and I believe faster in the 5k aswell

For those who don't know the state meet is over 5200feet

4:12 is a very good run at altitude.

6' 1" and 193 IS huge for a distance runner. That's a 25.5 BMI. Centro's 5' 9" and 132 would be a 19.5. Letsrun's favorite giant, Chris Solinsky, is usually listed at 6' 1" and 165 for a 21.8 BMI and, as someone noted above, almost 30 pounds lighter than this dude. There's no way he weighs 193.

Isaac is most definitely 190 pounds, period. Was as a Sophomore too.

All you have to do is stand by him to realize this.

Dude is not an ectomorph like most distance guys.

The Arcadia video link is available on their homepage. Watch the lineup introductions. Their you can see a standing comparison to his competition. If course, Patrick Parker from Utah, who Green battled with and out kicked, is also a pretty big guy! ---Parker probably goes 6'2", 180ish. Also, Worley is big too! Green is huge though and how about that 6'4" high jump!!
