Acosta's had a very fine year.

He's won every major race in sight.

I saw that too, and said, who is this guy, so did a little checking. Turns out his mile PB was 4:16 before running a 4:12 at NON just last week and his 3:46.32 for 1500m converts to 4:02.95 for 1600m and 4:04.36 for 1 mile!!

Almost 12 second improvement in a matter of days. Wow. But alas, he misses out on the trip to Peking by 0.19s

Should be some fast distance times next year in US high schools with all these fantastic 11th graders...
