I don’t know much, can you run in college with s 4:43? Seems very fast to me.
You can certainly run in college with that time, but I don't know about whether his college will let him on the team*. Most D3s, NAIA schools, and some D2s will let a 4:43 guy walk on, but running at a D1 program is almost certainly out of the question.
*If not, competing unattached is always an option.

My state (CA) had league prelims on Tuesday and finals on Friday (finals was on Thursday at one point). The meets weren't in early April, though.
Florida held some district meets today.
OP delivers. Awesome.

Congrats on the PR!
That was wicked awesome job with the PR, played out like a video while reading it
This reminds me of Rambo 3. When Rambo is going to fight the Russians, he teams up with some Afghan group. He acts all innocent and harmless, and says he has "fired a few shots", when asked about his experience. We all know how Bekeleish his fighting was for the rest of that film.
First of all you were obviously in way better shape than when you set your PRs. You must not be far from sub 10 shape in 3200m. This also got me thinking of your second 1600 split. You ran low 6:30 mile pace here. How did that feel? Did the adrenaline keep you going, because 6:30 seems pretty strong after an all out mile.
I was wondering what is the fastest anyone could run a mile straight after their fastest mile? It is hard to imagine even Hicham going much lower than 6 minutes after his 3:43. I wonder could you possibly have gotten into the 4:3x range, based on your ability to run 6:30 pace immediately afterwards.
I am curious to try something like this over a 3,000m race. I have a tendency to start slow, and I'm always getting in trouble for letting everyone go ahead of me. I tend to catch people later in the race, but wish they didn't get ahead in the first place.
Literally?
Great read and race. Congrats
Jeff my dear, take your "literally" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I'm trying to make friends and have meaningful conversations here. I posted something interesting here. It would be interesting to know what Hicham's time would be if he ran another mile after his 3:43. Don't mention the word literally to me again.
This was a good read. Way to go out on a high note, 4:43 nothng to sneeze at. Good luck in the future.

You are literally the biggest whiner on LRC.
You are the biggest stalker and bully here. Whatever you are going through, don't take it out on me. I made an interesting post. You would think I threatened or attacked someone, the way you are reacting. You need to learn about tact.

You literally need to make real friends, not figurative, online friends.
This site could learn a thing or two from Craigslist. Everyone I've talked to there is so nice to me. I guess this site just attracts the bad apples.
According to Google news results the only state hosting districts on 4/11 was Florida. Milesplit listed all the districts hosting meets last night. I searched the 3200 races of ALL the meets listed and found the other meet results not directly linked to the milesplit page. Not a single one verifies the story.

(Has more than the listed, but FHSAA said times and dates were subject to change)
Only a few meets had runners break 10 and only one had runners in the 9:20 range.

http://fl.milesplit.com/meets/313364/results/579385/raw#.Ws92-9PwbUo
(closest to the story but seed time of runner 13 isn't in the ballpark, top 2 finishing times are way off, and the total number was 22 with one DNF)
so you're telling me your splits for the first mile were:
0-200: 37
200-400: 35
400-800: 73
800-1000: 34
1000-1200: 32
1200-1600: 72
so you threw in a kick at 1050m and then then held on for a 72 for the last lap? You're a madman and your mile time should be
