re: Could you run a quarter mile in under a minute, Ocho Cincos 10 yr old did it

Yep, if you run a legit 49s open 400 you would get a ton of college offers. I have a little experience with this, a well known college/national team track coach told me this once, he would look at two different 18 year old quarter milers.

Runner A: 47 flat track phenom who has been running national age level times since elementary school and has great coaching

or

Runner B: The 49-50 second guy who played 2 other sports in high school and never ran club track or worked out year round for track.

He said its literally 50/50 who will turn out to be the better runner at 22, sometimes the phenom guys and girls plateau really young.
