Reed Brown breaks 4!

WHat about Hindman from Lafayette HS in MO? Hear he is running the mile somewhere this weekend and chasing the sub 4 too. He ran 8:43 to break Tegenkamps state record this year! It will happen folks so put hi, I'm your radar too!

He left it all on the track. When I see a phenom have to cut an interview off like that, it reminds me of the few times I went that hard and deep to the well.

Q: What's another term for a Utah runner?

A: Troll food!

Anyone have data on his "sprint" PRs? 100m, 200m, or 400m?

Don't sleep on Kyler True from Olpe KS. He might surprise at the Dream Mile tonight.

3:02 with 400 to go! Is that not the hardest way to do it? It has to hurt.

Uh going through in 2:55 with 400 to go would be way more painful.

I was going to say the same thing, but looks like a couple people beat me too it.

Three of the five who have gone sub-4 in the last five years (Maton, Slagowski, Hunter) have been "old". All three should have been college freshman by normal standards. And there is, at this point, no evidence that any of these three individuals will have a significant career as a miler.

Fisher was normal age and looks to be pretty good runner, but he won't be a miler either.

Ryun and Liquori were seventeen when they went sub-4. I'm not seeing anybody who reminds me of them. Wish Reed Brown the best but I'm not getting excited about a "miler" with a 1:53.41 800m PB.

Uber-milers my ass.

Interestingly, this pushed the last non-sub-4 mile time off of the all time list. It's threes down the board now.

Yawn.

And you broke 4:00 seven times in high school and live in a 23,300 sq. ft. castle, and you are on your way to being a billionaire at 26. Got it!

Does Reed go pro after he graduates?

He should go to Penn State for a while first. Maybe through spring break of his freshman year. Then after that he should return home and eventually go pro.

Going through in 2:47 would be even way more painful then that!

I don't know about slagowski, but Hunter had a September birthday. In Virginia, that's on the older side of his class, but not obscenely so. In any event, he broke 4 when he was about a month older than Fisher.

I can't wait to see Teare and Brown mix it up at Oregon. NCAA Distance Freshman of the year clash????

Definitely not. A 4:02 for 1600 run solo, dodging lapped runners is a very poor predictive factor.

Actually it's a great predictive factor. Even with a running start he's 3 seconds off pace. That's 20m at 4:00 pace.

Utah runners so silly.

Reed Brown's 1600 PR was 4:02 too, you numbnuts. His mile PR was 4:03!

I think it's clear that we will witness prep sub-four performances on an annual or semi-annual basis from this point forward.

The bar has been irrevocably raised. Eventually, the 4:20 miler will cede his D1 roster slot to the 4:10 miler; the 4:10 miler will cede his scholarship to the 4:00 miler.

Both mediocrity and excellence will accelerate. Enter the uber-milers.

And then the 6th Extinction will start and humans will end...

Might be less painful, but it certainly isn't the easiest. Impressive last 400m.

Geez, what a bad aZZ!

Smart running; and no dooshy celebration at end.

Guy's a stud.

Well now your there how do you get faster?

Look up "The Swish Pattern", and do those steps to get to 3:55, guaranteed to work, now that your here and apply the techniques.

Good luck

Everyone gets held back these days. Redshirt is a huge advantage in academics and athletics. This is bigger factor than anything, IMO, for all the recent sub4:00s.

have been "old".

Reed's 800 current ability is way better than 1:53. He has run very few of them.

He has not ever run an 800 after March.

The 1:54.4 in Feb 2017 was run in steady 25 mph wind- I'm not exaggerating, you can look it up. There was no drafting because he was alone at the front (I was at the meet).

He usually doubles 1600/3200, and not 800/1600.

I don't know if the mile will be his best event- but he could run a very good HS 800.
