I am very excited about American distance running..
Lukas ran a awesome race with negative splits.
Yea, Richard I wouldn't put them down with only modest
P.R.'s myself of 4:22 mile, 15:12 5Km and 31:52 10Km and that was in the early 1990's. At 44 and 250 lbs. I would be happy with a sub 8 minute mile. 100 lbs heavier than my race weight!! I lift and jog. Old Runners never died they just fade away... ha-ha
If the weather would of been better we might of seen A. Mudd, J. Oshier and E. Cheserak (spelling?) break the 4 minute mile in the same race..
Jim Ryun said that this is only the 2nd time a High Schooler has broken the 4 minute barrier in a all High School Race.
I just hope that Centrowitz, Wheating, Fernandez, Rupp and any others that have potential go to that next level.
I am from Minnesota and Ben Blankenship is coming around..
