You jest but track is missing a golden opportunity. I know people who are sitting around watching anything that ESPN will air. How about a collegiate 400M with 3 guys in lanes 1, 5. and 9? Or how about a professional road mile of 5 guys running straight down a lined road 6 feet apart?
Not to take anything away from this kid, but some runners are very good at these solo efforts. Being able to race when you want to, having a clear track/lane one all to yourself and being able to run directly behind a pacer is almost like being in a lab. Personally, I would have found it difficult to do what Leo did, even with all of the variables I could never duplicate a race performance in a time trial, but some athletes can. The truth is, this type of performance could indicate he is perhaps a sub-4 athletes or just as well 4:07.
Agreed but you should look up his results to know. He ran 4:03 mile at Brooks last year finishing 3rd. He ran 4:05 indoor mile at a college meet this year finishing 6th. So this is a kid who races well.

Well said, my comments where without looking up this kid's stats.
He will get to race at the Dempsey next year...unlike jamin.
