Title: High School Studs
Post by: Dave Holt on January 28, 2008, 08:09:37 am
Luke Puskedra ran a 4:08 mile indoors yesterday at Boston and won the invited HS race.  Crazy fast.  I would imagine he has his sights set on an outdoor sub 4:00 - a ways to go still, but maybe a little closer than me!  He's the best high school runner I have ever witnessed. 
Who are some other studs you have seen?  (Besides Ruthio!)

While running with Paul Pilkington last week up at Weber State, Luke was doing a workout.  He was moving and I overhead he signed to go run with Oregon!  Not a bad place to go for college.

They mentioned that he had signed with Oregon in an article about his win at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games.  He'll be with good company there - Rupp (still), Acosta, didn't Matt Centrowitz sign with Oregon?  Give props to Colby Lowe as well, just about 1/10th of a second behind Luke.  I was kinda surprised some of the other HS phenoms weren't up there as well.  Mac Fleet ran 4:08 last year as a sophmore.
