It looks like he ran a "negative split" for the last 200 meters (meaning he ran his last 200 at a faster pace than the previous 200.) Looks like a 25-mid for the last 200. The kid could probably run a 47-low or 46-high in the open 400 as a high schooler, which is fast for an 800 runner. He's obviously much faster now.
@17Kornfart on very rare occasions such as when they have too many runners they cut in on the second curve. They actually did that in the Montreal Olympic final in 1976 when Juantorena broke the WR.
i hate non runners because they only care about who is first and they think that second place is slow no matter what time they got. just because someone got second place (or lower) it doesnt mean they are slow.
@wiggyp7 i know i don't even care if i was third in this race cause i you still be a low 1.50, and that's an amazing time..non runners don't know how much mileage and speed training goes in to this race..at that level
@mastrsordskateboardr look it up. Michael Granville ran a 1:46 in the prelims of his state meet, then went on to win the finals in 1:50. He has the all-time highschool record. If you want an interview of it/where he is now go on flotrack.com. In college he became average thought like 1:48's never got faster, said he lost feel for it.
@GodsWorrior7 lmao, so your 14 and you run 17-18 yr old times? you know how many colleges would be watching you now? all of them. lmao. LOOK GUYS ITS OBEA MOORE
That is the fastest. Thats my goal for senior year. A 1:47🌃

my question is....why do they cut in on the 2nd curve? i run the 800 and we cut in right after the first curve
17Kornfart 8 months ago
@17Kornfart it's because of the way they had them staggered from the start

Actually, that's NOT the 800 Meter Record set by a male athlete. The record for an 800 Meter Sprint was set in 1996 by Michael Granville at 1:46.45.
