2020 Sub 4 high schoolers

Nico Young runs sub 4 looking like he's all-out sprinting the whole time

Nico sub 12 three miles

Methner could do it. He’s the national champ. Nico’s just the front runner for the top CA DII team

What high schoolers do you think have a shot at breaking 4:00 in the mile this spring, if any? Does Nico Young have the speed to get it done? Cole Sprout? Katelyn Tuohy?

My money is on Tuohy!

Methner hasn't even broken 4:13 in a 1600 or 9 in a 3200. Very unlikely he breaks 4.

Katelyn Tuohy definitely going sub four this year

She's also planning on being the first person to walk on the Sun

She's going to go in the winter time when the sun is cold

why doesn't Tuohy go at night when the sun is dark

Culpepper?

I would think Leo Daschbach would be the most likely person to break 4. Ran a 4:03 full mile as a junior and made significant gains in fitness in cross country.

Taylor Ewert has the best chance of going sub 4 in the mile. Racewalking.

Could Nico Young, Matt Strangio, and (maybe) Leo Daschbach or even Cole Sprout all work together at either Arcadia or Stanford to do it? Perhaps Nico's teammate Jace Aschbrenner could pace them for 1200 or so.

Unless you’re looking for them to go through the 1200 at 3:12-13, I don’t think the pacer is going to work out.

No they don't care about this.

What do you mean? Jace Aschbrenner is significantly faster than his teammate Colin Sahlman, who ran a 4:16 mile. I don't think he'll be going through at 3:12-3:13. On second thought, Matt Strangio's teammate Chase Gordon would definitely be able to pace them through 800, probably even through 1000. He's run 1:51 for the 800 and seems to be a more speed oriented guy, but it's feasible to believe that he could run an evenly paced 2:27-2:28 1000m.

Maybe it's unrealistic to get them all together at once, but I could see Strangio arranging for teammate Chase Gordon to try to pace him through 1000m or Young arranging for Aschbrenner/Sahlman to pace him. Kind of like how Cooper Teare posted requests for people to pace him through 800

Have you looked at his PR’s? He ran 4:24 last track season 2 weeks after he ran 9:14. Colin Sahlman would be a much better pacer because he’s much faster anything short of 3200. Just because someone is faster in XC, doesn’t mean they are faster at 1600 or below.

Brandon Miller holds every age group record for the 1500. He is going sub 4 at the Festival of Miles.

At NBNI Bronxville and Loudon Valley had guys go 3:01 and 2:59, I seriously think they could find one guy capable of a 2:59 1200 but It might be hard to find another high schooler who would pass up their own postseason because someone said: "hey instead of doing a big nbn meet why don't you come and run three laps and drop out of our race."
