Donavan Brazier entered in 1500

I predict 3:34.

Brazier is in the 1500, hopefully this will show us where his endurance is at. This will give us a glimpse if he will be better able to handle rounds at Olympics/WC.

An even pace 3:39 1500m would be good for him.

Is there an entry list available for the race? I'd like to see who else is in it before prognosticating.

Sunset Tour? Is he retiring?

3:37 anything faster would be really impressive.

1. Sub 3:30

2. 3:30-3:32

3. 3:32-3:35

4. 3:35-3:37

6. 3:37-3:40

7. 3:40-3:43

8. 3:43-3:45

1, 2, 3 is world champion 1500m potential

4, 5, 6 is excellent fitness for world class 800m specialist

7, 8 good fitness for world class 800m specialist

3:40.67

His PR is 3:59, so to expect anything better than 3:40 would be a stretch.

3:43:16

His 3:59 was from a December indoors race when he was MAYBE in 1:46 shape. He's a bit better at the moment.

When he ran that 3:59 (indoors in December) he closed in a 54. And this was before he joined NOP. Expect a 3:39 at least, 3:35 at the most. My guess is 3:37.

Anything under 3:40 would be amazing for him. I'd guess he'll run 3:42

From looking at this list before they added Donavan:

The #Sunsetmeet has some (almost) news! We posted a few of names for the Men’s 1500m yesterday and there are more pouring in every minute.

What American would you most like to see in that men’s 1500m? Maybe a debut? Let’s just say we have some big news coming!! Early field includes-

it should be a fast race. I'll be optimistic and say 3:37 for Brazier. I'd certainly expect him to be under 3:40. Fleet, Andrews and Leer probably shouldn't be in the race.

Brazier is fit, but he’s fit for the 800. I’d be very surprised and impressed if he breaks 3:40. But if the race is paced well for him, who knows? He will hang out in the back like he always does and probably try to run a fast final quarter.

I'd like to see Fisher in there.

Will Leer will just destroy him!

It will be paced for the world champ standard (sub 3:36) so he will go out decently fast even if he sits in the back

Brazier is mostly a front runner. He is definitely not hang back guy at all.
