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

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.

Disproportionate Freak!!!! Let see him run Drew Hunter style - 4:00 flat range until then - it's the circus for him!!!

1:52 as a Soph? That's a special runner.

I'm most impressed by his two xc state titles on a brutal course at 5500 feet and his sub 15 xc 5k pr. Dude IS a beast!!

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

Did someone really say he weighed 183??? ha ha....only 40 lbs off!

No way this kid weighs 193. That's a WWE weight. Is he from "parts unknown" too? I'd say low 170's.

But of course this is distracting from the big picture: HUGE talent, and yes, pretty huge kid for a distance runner.Very impressive.

LRC ,where all the Lilliputians think 6-1 and 193 is huge .

Actually, it's where they think a 165-pound Solinsky was huge.

He also won Arcadia this year in 4:08. He's high jumped 6-4 as well, and is the two-time state champ in xc.

This is the part that blows me away. To be a good high jumper requires a lot of explosive FT fibers. To be a good distance runner requires training the explosiveness out of those fibers. I am tall, taller than this dude even, and so I high jumped in high school as well. The more I trained for distance, the worse I got at jumping. There was a clear correlation.

This dude is a very unique individual. I wonder if he has terrible hand-eye coordination or something because I'd think with that unique endurance and explosiveness he'd be pretty damn good at basketball or another actually popular sport.

Distance runners tend to inflate their weight just like basketball players tend to inflate their height. Nobody wants to be known as a skinny runner.

The article indicates that he tried football in 8th grade but couldn't catch the ball so they just used him as a decoy.

Same size as an NFL cornerback.

He swam for 15 years?

He's a stud runner?

I see a way more lucrative opportunity for him in triathlon. With his build and skill set, he could pick up cycling fast.

Get him a coach and he could make way, way more money as a triathlete than as a runner.

See Gwen Jorgenson and her > $1 million per year income.

Let me clear up the confusion. It all depends on if he has or hasn't taken his daily turd. This weight of 193 was obviously a pre turd weight.

You're right about triathlon. He will be a great one.

Times were decent but he did win all 4 events. He's a big dude.

Here's the answer

Tha Denver Post:

which he built by wrestling for three years in middle school on top of 15 years of competitive swimming

So he's been a competitive swimmer since he was a toddler. Literally.

As a 6'1" guy who has weighed everything from probably 145 to 200 pounds, I'd say he's probably 180-185 at most, and could be as light as 175 in some of the pics.

I currently weigh 170 and he's only a little bigger than I am.

Of course, I ran all my PRs at 145-150 pounds, and they aren't anywhere close to as good as his!

I'm thinking decathlete. No doubt he would be a good triathlete as well with his swimming background, but I doubt he would be able to run as fast as the best triathletes with that build. Need to be able to run a sub-30 10K (at the end of the triathlon) for an olympic medal.

Killer endurance.

You were on the money.

The 15 years of swimming, the state titles at xc, the state track titles at 4 distances, and the height also make me think of Jim Ryun. Take away the height and add the muscularity and I think of Alan Webb. I really look forward to seeing his results next year.

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!!

Who uses the word ectomorph then uses the wrong their/there in the same post?

Have you ever stood next to Green?

So you're saying that we have two guys 180 and over, running 4:09, in the same race, in high school? Go home, you're drunk

Big guys who aren't ectomorphs on LRC realize bigly time, that THEY'RE on THEIR own out THERE.

Yes, I typed wrong there.

Yes, I have stood next to Green. Just Sunday, in fact. He's big. Like, put him in a sprinters suit and line up for the 100 big. Like linebacker big. I would actually say 193 is fudging it the wrong get way big. Another thing, his 3200 @ State on Saturday was only his second 32 ever. If you doubt, just go to milesplit. CO and check out pics, vids, and articles and stats. I think he was 190+ as a freshman and probably at his biggest his sophomore year when he lept 6 4" and ran a 1:52. He has a lot more hair now, but 193 is not fabricated AT ALL! Sorry to disappoint you, little

guy.
