Drew just seems to never be tired.

I did a sub 4 quarter mile back in 98.

Legend status

[@mrlemons2904]

Nobody seems to be talking about Caden Leonard, a sophomore, running 4:04

[@wayneegli8379]

Rheinhardt Harrison (FL-2022) ran a 4;01.35 as a sophomore and took a last chance meet in June of his senior year to break 4 minutes (3;59.33). So, hopefully not, but some of these kids are peaked and won't get much if any faster.

Because he’s seventeen years old

he’s from where I live. rlly cool guy.

[@Zephyr653]

Really impressive run by Griffin. He looked remarkably fresh after the race. Middle distance running has SO much promise with this crop of talented 17-20 year olds!

[@uncleian0549]

Dang I feel bad for the guy in 2nd barely missing it

[@sineto7412]

he got a 4:00.02 😢

[@LoganL15]

I meet drew during my pa state meet in xc and what a great guy I’m so happy to see him doing well and can’t wait for his college appearance gl to you drew hope for the best in the future

[@Ray.J]

Tremendous effort. What a great event.

[@inconspicuous45]

Race starts at 3:58

[@david2804me]

So impressive. When you think that this is almost two seconds faster than Roger Bannister ran in May 1954 for the first four minutes mile...you realise that, if high-schoolers can now run quicker, then we have advanced significantly as a species in a very short time.

[@clifcody]

Good for him!

[@jonahmays]

Let’s go James Partlow, way to represent MD! I ran against him at states last week (I got cooked though)

[@aSkibidiRunner]

W race

[@CaptainBenjamins]

Where the heck is Evan Noonan he is the CA state 3200 champ and he is a junior

[@lunarsabbatical7906]

He just got home from his part time job scooping ice cream

[@Pyrotech777]

I haven't been able to watch the entirety of the California post-season yet but pretty sure he was running in the CA State Meet last weekend as this meet was happening

[@books2118]

nathan neil goes 3:59, very impressive, especially because he is only a sixth grader!

[@MrWithmere]

He's a high school senior

[@books2118]

... it's a joke

[@TheresaW511]

3:59 in 6th grade? I was running a 3:41 flat but it doesn’t count as a wr because that was actually in time trial while I was in crutches

[@themyriad0574]

He ran off the track on the curve. He was well inside the cones on the grass for a couple steps. What's the legality on that?

[@thomasfuller225]

@@themyriad0574 IDK but i thought for sure he would run in the 2nd lane a few strides to offset the 4 inches he stole.

Didn't HOKA's Festival of Miles, 2023, include four sub-4 minute miles?

[@pinty2109]

That’s the second PA sub 4. Can someone let me know if any other states can match that?

[@FoamyDragon]

Cali could if Andreas and Anthony were in the best section

[@FoamyDragon]

@@DylpiqkleSTier did you see the pacing? 2:35 through 1k and dybdahl closed the last 600 In 58 second pace to run 4:03. Also he is a 1:50 800m runner. He can break 4 if he’s in this race

[@runnerspace]

California, Michigan and Virginia also have 2 sub-4:00 high schoolers on the all-time list.

[@pinty2109]

@@runnerspace are you counting Alan Webb for both Virginia and Michigan?

[@DillPickle99]

Shively missed going under 4:00 by .03!!

[@jamespoulter1074]

Yeah that has to be hard to be that close

[@zk4761]

He's going to NAU, he's going to become a monster. He will go under very quickly.
