roethlisberger7Pitt Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - That's a very good time for an 8th grader, but it's not like it's going to get you to the Olympics

Nov 13, 2008 - thats because 8th graders aren't old enough to get in the olympics.

Nov 14, 2008 - that is a very good time...but to get to the olympics u need to be much better in 8th grade i ran a 4:48 in 8th grade and im currently in 9th grade...i dont think my 8th grade time is good enough either an 8th grader for the olympics probably should be somewhere at about 4:20 im guessing? im not sure

TheSoultaker619 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - I cant really say what my best mile time is because I really dont try to hard on it.. but when i entered the my schools annual turkey trot i got 5:42 on the 1.1 mile run.

meester6178 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - at first i thought hicham el guerrouj was the kenyan"noah nien" if thats how u spell it and at 3:42 i was sure hed pass guerruoj lol

dougll Says:

Nov 23, 2008 - Hicham is the best, but I'd have still loved to see Coe and Morceli in their prime in this race. It's hard to believe someone will soon beat his mile or 1500m times but it will happen. His 3:26 1500m is mind bogglingly good. A plug for my father who taught me to love running and the mile in particular... earlier this year he ran a 6:56 indoor mile at the US Senior Championships at age 81. Try to beat that Hicham! :)

Nov 23, 2008 - you are a dumbass.

toploader00 Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - The lap at that speed is tough. What a runner

BattleRifle112 Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - Please stop talking about things you don't know about.

BattleRifle112 Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - I agree, and as for you thefallen... congratulations, but still, you have to agree its annoying when they try to brag about their times, or about people they know....
