Zach Mellon just ran 1:47.45 for 800m, making him the fourth true freshman under 1:48 indoors this year.
Elijah Greer - 1:47.33
Zach Mellon - 1:47.45
Cas Loxsom - 1:47.98
Robby Andrews - 1:48.06
I think Andrews can break 1:48 if he ran an honest paced race instead of sitting and kicking to win.
You can throw Mac Fleet into the mix too, as he ran 1:50.xx last year. This year, he PR'ed in the mile by over five full seconds, so I expect his 800 to be much faster too.
The high school class of 2009 is showing insane depth in the 800m. My question is: Has there ever been a college freshman class stronger than the class of 2009 for the 800m?
I can't wait to see the 800m at NCAA outdoors in 2013.
