Amazing Run by Drew Griffith. Goes 3:57 at PIAA Meet today. 4th Fastest 1600m all-time for HS.

Perhaps he is capable of slightly faster as he ran 4:03/8:41 (split second 1600 in 4:10) last week at his District meet.

Imagine being Ryan Pajak (the second place finisher) who is in the same District as Drew and also finished runner-up to him at Foot Locker XC.

After the emergence of Gary Martin 2 years ago and now with this current crop of Runners, perhaps PA is the Middle Distance Powerhouse of the East.

It will be interesting to see what he does at Notre Dame.

Is it possible for him to back out of his NLI now? He's fast enough that he could almost certainly get into Stanford (or transfer after his first semester to there). Or he could go to NAU if he is truly passionate about running

updating this: top 5 times in the 1600 today were all under 4:08 AND all runners from Pittsburgh

Not a lot of cities could give you a better 4xMile in the country

So what. It's like a 4:05 mile, 5 years ago.

It's wild, that's true while the fastest 100/200/400 sprinter on the Boys' side is all the way down in 15th-20th.

I know it's somewhat coincidental because Western PA does produce some good sprint talent now and then (Owens-Delerme, etc) but I thought it was notable.

Complete lack of 800 speed yet great times. It’s obvious
