USATF Juniors

Apparently, Brazier isn't the only insanely talented 800m runner this year. The Brooks PR Runner-up, Carlton Orange out of Memphis University HS in Tennessee, just won the Junior Mens 800m with a 1:47.67! That time is good for US#5 All-Time, edging ahead of Elijah Greer who was #4 heading into this year.

With such an incredible year for middle distance, what has been the most impressive? Two well known guys going sub-4:00y (#3 and #4) for the first time ever, or two much less heralded guys going sub-1:48 (#4 and #5 AT) for the first time ever?

I'll update this post with more stuff later.
