PM - 4 miles. 2xMaster Blasters. Felt really dehydrated today. My mouth was really dry especially on the second set and I just didn't run very fast.

Controversy - Is Matthew Maton actually a high school sub 4 guy? I'm not denying that Maton is a sub 4 guy or saying that it's not impressive that he broke the 4 minute barrier. I just wonder if we should count him as a high school sub 4 guy when rumor has it that he's already graduated and not attending high school anymore. He also isn't running for a high school, just unattached and he's also 19 years old. I mean who the heck turns 19 when they are in high school. I graduate in 1 week and I'm still 17. Where's the fairness in that. He's 2 years older than me.

I would consider him just a young man who broke 4 minutes. If you're graduated from high school and not attending, then you sure as heck ain't a high schooler.

The list begins and ends with Alan Webb.

As long as he is a senior I dont give a crap what he's doing, he did something only 5 other guys have ever done

From Controversial Cam on Tue, May 12, 2015 at 20:28:28 from 174.23.199.222

Is he really a Senior though?

From Connor Baller on Tue, May 12, 2015 at 20:51:12 from 108.165.28.242

Ya. He is 19 tho but I still think it's very impressive

Jake - Jim Ryun made the U.S. Olympic team BETWEEN his junior and senior year of high school.

That puts him on the list somewhere.

From Jake K on Tue, May 12, 2015 at 21:11:39 from 98.202.128.218

Cam's controversy was about sub 4s, not Olympic teams. Ryun wins that category. But they didn't even have Garmins back then so there's no way to verify his track was accurate. Webb was beastmode.

From Quintus Cassadamius on Tue, May 12, 2015 at 21:18:19 from 24.10.247.181

Jim would have been "beast mode", but we didn't have that term back then. He was also a fine Christian gentleman who got elected to congress.
