2024 BYU Invitational 1600m Boys

Danny Simmons finished in 4:01.78 at the BYU Invitational to win the 1600m race. That is a a 3:56-3:57 with 4-5 seconds altitude conversion at 4500ft Provo, UT elevation.
Camera is a big shaky with filming from the stands with a monopod.

Wow, 4:01 at altitude! I got choked up watching these guys running their guts out, some of them trying to get recruited for scholarships probably! These look like college times!

On the clock at 1:16.149 exactly, you can see me cheering on danny, yelling "Sub 4 today!" with my white racing bib on directly above him.

[@lylestavast7652]

first 3 kids can all find a spot in college almost anywhere in the country with those times at elevation. Nice run :)

I RACED AT THIS MEET… got dead last in the mile

[@CurtisMendivil]

ay you still raced at the meet and finished that’s all that matters

[@rrc]

Qualifying for the BYU Invitational is a big accomplishment.

[@maxscriptguru]

Wait a second youngster. So what! At least you got to go to state and run. Just showing up and competing is a treasure you will take with you to the end of your days. Here I am, old, with bad knees and I can’t run anymore.

If Hillhouse hadn’t run the night before he may have won that race. He stayed right on Simmons shoulder the entire race until the last 75 meters. Zach beat Danny in a 800 meter a few eeeks ago. 6A finals will be interesting. Simmons and Hillhouse are in all 3 distance finals. Hillhouse is ranked 4th in the US in the 1600m and 6th in the 800m.
