    After watching the Brooks PR Boys Mile race, would not be surprised . . . actually expect . . . L&L to work together on Sunday to ensure the NON Boys Mile goes thru 880 yards no slower than 2:00 and 1320 yards in 3:00 . . . trading off 59-60/lap thru 3 laps . . . then hope they have enough left for sub-60 anchors . . .

    Leo is probably the fittest of everyone here, but I don't know if he'd really try to pace everyone like that. Last year they tried at Arcadia and it was kinda disastrous pacing-wise because so many people in the field were fighting for position, and in this field, a lot of people are gonna be fighting for position. If they get to 1200 in 3:00 though, it's gonna be carnage on the last lap. I'm so hyped.

    Great for Simeon, but when I think what Jeff Nelson did in 1979 (only 2 seconds slower), I feel like the time should be faster - like, a lot faster!

    It would have been faster . . . if Simeon was in an open/professional race and got pulled along by college/Olympic-caliber runners such as those who faced Nelson at the 1979 Pepsi Invite as well as Lukas V at the 2011 Pre Classic.

    Riley, Pre, Virgin and Fernandez all set their US HS 2 Mile records in hs-only races . . . the latter two in hot, humid conditions. What could they have done in set-ups similar to Jeff and Lucas's races?

    Just an opinion:

    Lucas V's 8:29 2 mile is the highest quality US hs boys track record on the books . . . in part because it is still so superior to the next-best time (Simeon's 8:34) . . . but also because the event is not run very often outdoors . . . and hardly ever on the open/collegiate/professional scene.

    1:46 and 3:53 are both definitely better than 8:29
