Fred Fred Fred Kerley

Guys got wheels. What can he do for 200m should he move up to the 800 and challenge the world record? It's only 50.45 per lap.

vitally important to find RT

usual RT for a 400 is 0.15 - 0.20

what was Fred's ???

43.70 wow just wow.

The quads on this man.

Seventh all time. WOW

Fred Kerley.

Watch out world.

The future of 400 meter running is here.

Van Neikerk may have some company.

With Merritt and Kirani looking iffy this year, Makwala gone AWOL, Rusheen MacDonald being a clear flash in the pan and Yousef al Masrahi getting popped for PEDs, Kerley is in a prime position to be one of the big names in the sport if he can hang with Wayde.

We'll see for now. He's had a long season.

Anyone know why Hannah Cunliffe was DNS in the 100m?

7th Fastest Performer All Time and 17th Fastest Performance All Time and it's just qualifying, we might see him in the Olympics someday, I am serious the time is that good.

He's now got a faster PR than Kirani James (43.74) and is just a hair behind Merritt. Brojos, give this guy a splash page.

doesn't look too windy from flags high up in background

however, still looks cruising to 200 but blasted last 200 & even dipped

there are still good few tenths right now if he "pounds" the 200

right now, in May, i think he coud go 43.2/43.3 if prepared to "hurt" at 200

anyone got his RT ?

please don't tell me another 400 this weekend ???

That's freaking insane... this wasnt even NCAAs!!!

Just when I thought no one even had a shot to challenge WVN

I don't know whether Kerley will he shot for USAs/Worlds after such a crazy couple of NCAA seasons but 2019...

Just please don't be juicin, bro.

he's not far off the

"Ptolemy"

which so far in history i reckon only Ryun/Keino/bolt have ever achieved

I wouldn't count Merritt or Kirani out just yet; it's still awfully early. Merritt did run 44.7 in Doha I think. Neither has put up their usual early-season 44-low this year, but I'd still count on both being in sub-44 shape come August.

But man are you right about McDonald. I looked him up and in 2015 his best times were 43.98, 44.6, 44.73, 44.84, 44.86, and 45.04; other than 45.1 in 2012 those are his only times under 45.2 (his season-best in 2016, '14 and '13)

There are quite a few other names to watch (or keep watching), let's not forget:

Times all from last year.

Cedinio 44.01, 21 yrs old

Thebe 44.22, 20 yrs old ... and 44.89 this year, in March

Sibanda 44.25, 19 yrs old

Ali Khamis Khamis 44.36, 21 yrs old

Taplin 44.38, 25 yrs old

Then Gardiner with 44.26 already this year, Santos at 44.11 in 2015 (bad year last year though), another Qatari Haroun with 44.26 in 2015 (at La chaux de fonds, however) and 44.86 last year, who is still only 20 I think.

And of course I have to mention Makwala. He did run at the World Relays, first leg both times, although he didn't look very good to me (like their weakest guy, even counting the 4th dude I've never heard of). Also he just ran 44.92 in Francistown (elevation 1001m) two weeks ago. It's weird that I feel like he is likely past his prime already, even though his breakout year was only back in 2014. I'll admit he is usually only good for a strong 300m (followed by a terrible fade on the homestretch) ... everywhere but La Chaux de Fonds that is.

However, 43.7 with second place well over 1 sec back is on another level. Too bad Kerley will most likely be way past his peak by August, if he can make it to (until?) London.

The 400 is definitely one of the more exciting events to follow right now.

Lots of "juice" in the 400 lately. Interesting, the last few years...

i woud

what are lashawn's/kirani's pbs ???

so Fred can expect to "train on" as thoroughbred

what 400 you expect for him by august ??

eh ??

yesterday's men

did you not comprehend 43.7 in May ???

thoroughly hammered by Fred

offer 43.7 in May ?

no

we can forget them

they never dreamed of 43.7 in there life, let alone in May !!!

eh ?

you not comprehend 43.70 ???

eh ?

you not comprehend 43.7 ???

if it's 8 lanes & proper auto-timing then it is no mickey-mouse clocking

so why post endless drivel about guys who are quantum level below Fred ?!

sliver of insight...

no

it's a straight 2-man shoot-out

however, the other protagonist won't turn up until late-june & then collapse after an "epic" run over 300 or maybe even 500, then come back to london, then win/lose, he will collapse after & not run again until '18...

LOL Not a good imitation.

Fred may be burnt out by the time the WC trials roll around. Hopefully not. He could have run at least this fast the day he cruised that 44.09 heat. He was not pushing himself to the limit at all.

Merritt's pr is 43.65 from Beijing 2015.

Kerley is at 43.70 from regionals in May.

Wariner's pr is 43.45.

Kerley could very well move to #2 American all-time at U.S. champs or World's. Probably only WADA can catch WVN but Kerley looks like he will be #3 all-time some time this year.

A 43.70 wins the silver in Rio.
