1.51 a very competitive 800m time nationally at the high school level. Even at the college level 1.51 would definitely win many races. You're not going to find many distance runners that can hit 1.51. I'm not saying it's impossible, but typically when you get down that low it's 400m runners who have moved up in distance. A really really fast time for a distance runner in the 800m would be 1.54. I would say that would be the equivilent to 4.17 1600m.

I would say it's more like a 4:25 1600m.

A 1:54 equates to a 4:13 mile or 4:11 1600 according to Jack Daniels.

And who is going to aruge with Jack Daniels???? :lol:

I was thinking the 4:17 sounded right, but I'll buy that. Our last guy who ran a 4:25 also ran a 1:58. We've never had a 1:54 or a 4:11, that's for sure. That sounds about right when you think about Bumbi as well.

I think you've got to take that 800m conversion to 1600 with a grain of salt. We've had plenty of sub 1:54 800m runners, e.i. Chuilli, who couldnt go 4:11. McGrath ran 1:48 but went 4:05. Then you've got Bumbi who ran 4:06 last year but only ran 1:54. It completely depends on the runner. Matt Hudson ran 1:55 last year and was like 4:37 for 1600 in a meet.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
