Peterson/berryhill/Harris in the 800 at Drake

[Mrr82]

Good to see Berryhil racing, what's his deal...he seems to ahve been out for a long time...where's he traniing now? Should be a decent race and hopefully produce a fast time.

[PuppyKicker]

Yeah that heat sheet is crazy. Milkevics comes in with a 1:45.6 from last year, with Koech and Sappleton coming in at low 47s. And then there's Peterson and Harris of course. If the conditions are good it could be really fast, especially if Berryhill takes it out like he used to.

Don't know where Berryhill is based now...I also have not heard from him in a while...

berryhill is up in ft. collins. doing some sort of assistant coaching at CSU.

Can you post a link to the heat sheets?

[PuppyKicker]

Sorry, wish I had a link to them. As it turns out, I go to Drake, so that's how I got a look at them. Heh, my earlier post probably constitutes a "leak" of some sort....oh well. Its annoying that the relays website doesn't list times, just entries...

From a distance runner's perspective that Invitational 800 was definitely the most impressive race on paper. Men's pole vault & high jump should be good too.

Hoping Steele and Potter can put it together this year to give the US an ungodly number of men under 44.5.

I'd really like to see someone break 44 or 43.5 this year. That 42.96 makes Michael Johnson seem invincable. In my opinion that 400m time is only second to his 200m WR.

Johnson only ran 43.18

[mzungu]

maybe he was thinking of a relay split?

Yes, from the 93 WCs. I think it was actually 42.92? Ridiculous nonetheless.

[VoidSix]

Incredible.
