What’s my secondary event (800 main)?

High School Running

So I am going to be a junior next fall and have run every event from the 200 to the 2 mile and am wondering what secondary event I should focus on as I would like to compete in college and want to have a big year this year. Here are my PRs

200- 23.2 Hand time (early February)

400- 49.x (rolling split of 4x400 May) done three times front april to May so I’m assuming worth a 50.x FAT?

800- 1:58low (May)

1600- 4:40

3200- 10:50

I play football in the fall and will be doing so again this year. I’m using this summer to work on my general endurance as I put in more miles my freshman year compared to this past year

You've got potential for a fast 1600

depends on if you are going to do football in college or not. if you do football in college you won't be able to get a solid base mileage.

but with your current PRs I would suggest you stick to the 200/400/800 you could do the 1600 sometimes to better your endurance.

If you stick to the 200/400/800 for now i think you will be a really good mid-distance runner in college. I could see you doing really well in the 200/400/600/800/1000 in college plus you could always try and run the 1500m to test your abilities.

cheers!

I would argue that your 400 is actually better than your 800. But to answer your question, if your main event is 800, secondary is 400.

Your main event is the 400. 49.x split = 50.x out of the blocks. There is no universe where 1:58 is better than your 400.

I absolutely agree, and both are better than the 1600.

400

You need to do XC if you want to touch on your capabilities at the 1500+
