After watching FL today, the question for me now becomes, "When will Grant Fisher break 4:00?"
I don't have any doubt that he does it in HS. That kid is incredible. He just destroyed the field. Over the span of 2.5 minutes, he put what 10 seconds on them.
As I said on the thread, at that point, he wasn't racing the field, he was racing Ritz for history. Well in track, it's time to race Webb for history.
Get him in a college or pro race and let's see how low he can go.

PS. I guess i could see him not doing it if he only goes to adidas NYC and the weather is awful there.
PPS. Yes. I know I love to hype the prodigies but they make the sport exciting for me. I was driving the Ritz bandwagon as the first sub-27 white man (missed out on that) and then raved about Saarel.
Fisher will run 3:57 - 3:58 at best. He doesn't have the speed to run a 3:53 mile in HS. It'll be more interesting to see what kind of 5k this kid throws down.
