2022 HS [indoor] results

[steveu]

Sometimes you see some great prep marks at the U-W meets in all-comers or elite races. At the Preview meet yesterday, Tyrone Gorze (Crater HS, junior) clocked 8:11.38 in the 3k. He was 6th in the Eastbay XC a month ago.

The New Balance meet has begun in earnest.

b2Mile - Gavin Sherry 8:50.05 (8:47.03 for the 3200 purists among us . . . or 8:15.57 for the 3000m Eurocentrists)

He's also an edge rusher or being recruited as such which is a little unusual for the typical sprint footballer.

FYI, that 200 was a prelim and he skipped the final. However, he did run prelims of the 60 and then that event's final -- a very nice 6.73.

According to these results, Will Summer (Woodstock HS, GA, '22 -- UGA recruit) ran 1:15.58 for 600m in Chicago (200m banked) this weekend (today?). If correct, that's an HSR by 2 seconds over Livingston's mark from '12.

Only 6 collegians have run faster and it's just outside the U.S. all-time top 10. Haven't yet found an all-time world U20 list for the event, if it exists. Don't know if Juniors run it much globally.

That's crazy fast ... obviously the kid is a great 400 and 800 runner and the 500/600 would appear to be his sweet spot. This winter so far, he had run 47.69, 1:01.25 HSR for 500 and 1:52 800. Last spring, 47.01 and 1:51.67. It's not shocking that he could break the 600 HSR, but didn't expect 1:15-mid.

I can't speak for other countries, but I can only find 3 UK under 20s who have run under 1:19 indoors and the fastest of those was run in the US in 2020. I think the distance is sometimes run at some minor meets early in the season here and seems to be quite popular with 400 hurdlers, in particular. Worth remembering we only have 5 indoor tracks if you exclude venues that just have a sprint straight and field events facilities and Birmingham which is only ever in place for a few weeks each winter.

on twitter says 6'6 220. nyckoles has been breaking age group world records for years. gonna be hard for him to keep getting much faster when he turns 18-19 being so huge, esp if he grows more but for football he's absolutely perfect, a potentially even more monstrous dk metcalf.

Harbor is still only 16 years old, won't turn 17 until July. Quite a talent!

As mentioned above, his current recruiting is as an Edge moreso than WR to the point in which he's rated 1st at the postion. This in itself makes him unusual as a HS sprinter.

[Atticus]

How is he not the prototype for an All-American Tight End?

No blocks used. (!)

Also a reminder, Lubbock is just under the statistical altitude aided limit at 988m.

Forget football!
If he keeps growing, let's talk NBA and LeBron James the Second!
