Yup.
I still don't think he could beat VNK. Would love to see them two race or kerley vs bolt in a 300.

The tenth American to go sub 44.
BTW Larry James and Lee Evans have been on that list since October 1968.
eh ???
is this a joke ?????
wubbish ??????
OMG he ran 45.9 prelim earlier in day !!!
it is not possible for any bipedal or even quadripedal to run your fastest possible 400 with a prelim in their legs
it is just a question of how much the prelim fatigued him
there is no instance in living memory of a guy running < 44 after prelim earlier
i can't even remember a < 45 with a prelim in their legs, albeit quincy or butch or everett maya done so
my best guess with lot of viewing experience is that it cost in region of ~ 1/2s for the later run
IMO, Fred, right now in fully rested, 1-off as in zurich is in
~ 43.2
This guy must be related to Big Ben.
No way! Fully rested, on perfect day with perfect track and spikes, he's worth
~ 42.8!!

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.
I could see Kerley getting to #3 American all-time this year, passing Wariner, but not #2 (at least not this year). Don't forget that Harry "Butch" Reynolds ran 43.29.
Regardless, I'm VERY excited over Kerley. It's fantastic to finally have another American capable of mid-43's.
Come to think of it, doesn't Fred also have a final heat today or tomorrow to accompany that 43.70 race?
In a heat no less

Only because of Mexico City's altitude. Neither of them came close to breaking 44 at sea level.
Serious question, do all of you really think he is legit drug free?
serious good speed endurance ped doing rounds
all brought to you by nike and iaaf ,
yes iaaf 's chosen athletes get what no one else can
bet most standouts in pre on the same cocktail
saw what it did for wayde last year
makes wonder was he ever meant to even go close to that time .

prelim was a day prior, not earlier in that day.

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.
Why would you think we'd not appreciate that 43.7 is good?

blame the inaccuracy of official split timers who have both prelim & next round on same day :
http://live.pttiming.com/?mid=1236sorry but this is his breakout year?? the guys running 43.7 for 400 and you want to see him challenge the 800, i hate lets run

What is your revised time for Fred Kerley now, calculo?
The prelim was the day before, so this is no longer the fastest race ever after a heat on the same day, as you previously claimed.
So Fred Kerley doesn't quite run a World Record now?
you not comprehend that NCAA athletes peak in late May/early June? Not sure why youre making such a big deal of Kerley running fast in May. Regionals/Nationals are when we would expect him to run fast, no? The other athletes are not on the same training cycle

If you click on the "CM" tab, it is clearly labeled as "Th 5/25" under the Semi category and "Fr 5/26" under the Final category. Not sure what you are looking at but you need to look again.
Was evident with Tori Bowie yesterday. Americans tend to run fast at Eugene. See Olympic Trails. Females all ran 10.7s, we saw the results in Rio.
Somebody went to the NOP lab for extra infusion.
