The person I am talking about ran in the 45s the same year LaShawn was at ECU and this guy was far from a best friend of Coach Carson or LaShawn, so I don’t think there is much exaggeration.
And no, there isn’t a 1 second differential (actually, plenty of people do have 1+ second differentials, but we’ll forget that for now), eros, but if you actually took a second to educate yourself, you’d realize he ran it earlier than Kerron did and in a training program geared almost entirely towards outdoors and they trained right through the meet. Of course, this was all in the idea that he was going to be sticking through at least to the indoor national meet or at least with his coach instead of up and leaving mid-season. Believe what you want though.
