Oversize track??

Oversize track??

No, it is a 200 meter track. I just checked the facility website.

[gh]

the fact that I called a High School Record by definition means it's not an oversized track.

Va holds both boys n girls hs records in then300m

45 isn't an unreasonable expectation for outdoors then.

I love the 300m! 33.05 is smokin'!

Looks like he ran the 300 last indoor season (2012) in 34.08 before his 46.37 outdoors.

He's also run 500m indoors this year in 63.39 vs. 64.20 last year.
He's also run 400m indoors this year in 48.08 vs. 49.20 last year.

So, 1.03" improvemnt in 300m, 1.12" improvement in 400i, 0.81" improvment in 500m.

I'm thinking 45-low this year outdoors. Probably not 44.xx, but could be close!

William Reid, a 16-year-old high school junior from Philadelphia, ran the final leg in 44.44 seconds to seal the gold medal for the United States. Reid almost lost his place on the team after contracting chicken pox.

Reed's 33.19 was also on an unbanked track (Coxe Cage at Yale). He was a sophomore that year.

And it's a race from a different venue (George Mason), from last year's 2012 Indoor Virginia Regionals...

thanks for the corr4ction, just getting back to this race

was watching the brooks stuff and the delano williams, 44.8 relay split in jamaica

[aaronk]

After reading the interview, I'd be very surprised if he doesn't break the indoor HS 400 record next week.
It's 45.92.

[Fortius19]

ahh, I didn't know what the record is. Thanks.

I hate it when an article referrences a record and doesn't say what it is!


I think the outdoor HS 400m is 44.69.

The indoor boys HSR is 45.92 by Elzie Coleman in 2004.
The outdoor HSR is the 44.69 by Darrell Robinson in 1982!!

The 43.87 by Steve Lewis was run at the 1988 OG, and Lewis was then a 19 year old attending UCLA!!

The best source for all HS marks and records, boys and girls, indoors and outdoors is High School Track by Jack Shepard!!
An invaluable source!!

[az2004]

cherry best is 48.08 so indoors this year

45.92 is over 2 seconds faster, that's tough in the armory
