Comparing 400m - Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner

April 14, 2008 by Jimson Lee


How Low Can Jeremy Wariner Go?

These stats were published in the March 2008 edition of Track and Field News.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have all of these videos in one place, with a handy playlist pull down menus? (hint hint)

After Johnson broke 44 seconds, it took him 7 years to break the World Record, although I firmly believe he would have broken it 3 years earlier in Zurich had it not been for his injury from his 19.32 200 meters in Atlanta!

1997 was a “disaster” year (if you call a 43.75 a disaster!) from his injury in his 150 meter showdown with Donovan Bailey on June 1.

Here is a side-by-side list of Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner Season’s Best (SB) and their age:

Age - Johnson - Wariner

18 - 00.00 - 45.57
19 - 46.29 - 45.13
20 - 45.23 - 44.00
21 - 46.49 - 43.93
22 - 44.21 - 43.62
23 - 44.17 - 43.45
24 - 43.98
25 - 43.65
46 - 43.90
27 - 43.39
28 - 43.44
29 - 43.75
30 - 43.68
31 - 43.18 >> Click here for the video

One this is certain: if he focuses on the 200 meters, the extra speed will help his 400 meters. But will it be enough to run 42.99?
