I'm not saying you're wrong, but his PRs were slower than both Josh Routh (also running for ETSU) and Adam Barnard (running for Georgetown now) at Boone. Barnard has run a 4:06+ mile at Georgetown, and a 3:50 1500. I *think* Routh red-shirted last season; far from sure. (Or maybe he is this year?) They're all 3 rather superb. Not hep on all Varghese's numbers, but I don't think he's sniffed 4:06, even tho the track is not his specialty. He and Watts know his numbers, and I don't think sub-4:10 is there. But I don't know that for a dead fact.
I've just heard more out of him than both Benard and Routh.
That's what I suspected. And I further suspect it's because you were younger in school when Barnard, especially, was making his name. He got *plenty* of press and accolades. I'd say *at least* as much as Varghese. You might want to dig into that. But, in any event, they're all super great runners.
