He did 3:35.xx at a college meet, he'll go sub 3:35 easily at Monaco. Probably be sub 3:33 by end of this year.
3:35.xx will not getva guy like Kerr even entered into monaco.

exactly. I don't get they hysteria here. He's fairly good. He's not world class, and I doubt he could make it into Monaco. Additionally, as mentioned above, the IAAF world rankings are not meaningless nor are the arbitrary. They matter for Olympic qualifying.

43rd all time indoor 1500m. It’s okay if you don’t follow the sport, though I don’t know why you’d click on this thread to broadcast that.

Literally no one has qualified yet.
He will probably be around 13:40-13:45. I believe he's run around 7:50 for 3k. Would be shocked if he's 13:30 or better, or worse than 13:55
You guys are crazy. He has no chance of breaking 14. Too heavy.
Josh doesn't race well when he's not winning. I don't think he'll break 14
I don't see a great performance... sort've like when Centro runs the 5000m... totally underwhelming and we're all left saying, "Man, he's just a mid-distance guy."
I thought you were talkin' about Kerrzy, mate.

B/c he broke the NCAA 1500 record last season. A record that had been on the books for decades. That's why you should know who he is.

He just turned pro. Just finished college. Just broke the NCAA 1500 record. I think the idea is that he has much to come...
He's going to run 13:50 at best. Big jump in distance.

-1/10
I just can't possibly imagine somebody would be clueless enough not to know who Josh Kerr is. You've have to be living under a rock.

Everyone should know him considering he's one of only 2 or 3 collegians who ever beat Cheserek. As for the NCAA 'record' that was kind of a farce because Nick Willis and others ran much faster as collegians.
Whoever he is it sounds like he likes to post about himself a lot.

Yeah, 3:35.01 is a total farce for a college guy.
Sydney Maree ran 3:35 and look how terrible he was as a pro! What did he run eventually, 3:29? That's awful!
Wonder why Brooks signed him? If he was American it would make sense but as Brit he is not going to have much of a following here in the US. A few track geeks know who he is but that's about it. Even if he improves a ton and runs low 3:30's I can't see how it will help them sell more shoes in their biggest (US) market.
3:35 is the fake NCAA Record.
Track and Field News doesn't count post-season or special races. Too may damn rules.

Sounds like you were the dick at the begging of the thread saying, 'who?'. And once you went home devastated, this was the only comeback you could come up with, sad.

Maybe the NCAA record should happen at a NCAA meet, like how the Olympic records are done at the Olympics.
