Didn't know his record was 19.09...that's blazing!
pretty sure that is still fast even if it's not a WORLD record.
i mean solinsky ran 26:59 and the world record is 26:17. . .I guess we should just disregard what solinsky ran??

Except that CS ran an American record, and a "barrier-breaker" to boot. Dix is nowhere near the AR (19.32).
okay. . .so if the american record had been 26:30 for instance, would 26:59 no longer be a fast time?
Look, whatever about records and such. More important question: What was Dix coming back from? Injury?

Except for the fact that American sprint records are far superior to American distance records, that might make sense

I believe so. I know he was in a dispute with his agent which prevented him from competing for awhile except for events in which he was contractually obligated to run (Penn Relays and Pre). But I believe that was resolved and he pulled out of US Champs with injury.
IAAF Scoring table gives:
Dix (19.89) 1254 points
Solinsky (26:59) 1228 points
Which is an indication of how far out of it US long distance runners are. 19.89 is also worth more than the present US records in 800, 1500, and mile, but it probably doesn't even make the US team for Deagu next year.
All of which means what? WE ALL KNOW that US sprinting is better than US distance, not exactly news.
This is a distance site (duh!), so it's going to hype even less than stellar distance results (AR) than a good sprint result. The mention of the Dix result in connection to Solinsky simply says regardless of IAAF points (irrelevant really) that most people on here - certainly the moderators - care more about what Solinsky did than Dix. It's a no-brainer really. These days even more so since Bolt is the only sprinter who matters to the rest of the world.
it means you were wrong. gooood-bye.
