Eh, seems like a big oversimplification to me given Strangio had run 2 1600s and Young was fresh for the 3200, but not really worth arguing about. I think Young is better than Strangio, it'll be interesting to see how close they are at nationals.
Last year Anderson ran a bit quicker at state than at Clovis (5 seconds or so) as did Young (10 seconds). Wonder if he'll go for the record again at state nothwithstanding him saying he'll be taking it easy at CIF.

Again, let’s not look at state then. Look at their SBs for 3200. That would indicate Young would be about 11 seconds ahead of Strangio, which seems reasonable for Strangio to run 14:39-40 if he had given Young and Daschbach a 6-7 second gap with 1 mile to go. Instead he hung with them and then lost about 20 seconds to Young the final mile.
Basically there’s no reason to think his health had anything to do with his performance on Saturday.
Nico said in an interview the California state meet was about winning only and not running for time.
Yeah just wondering if he gets the itch. He probably thought he would have the record after Clovis.

If so his coach should have reminded him that a 4:00-8:34 double at the state meet is something he’s yet to accomplish.
