What am I capable of this track season?

Hello, I would like to hear what times you guys think I am capable/will run this outdoor track season. Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated as well.

I am HS senior, about 5'9 and weigh ahout 140 lb. I am currently running about 35mpw. My speed workouts are done on an asphalt track. This the first track season that I have had a coach who actually knows what he's doing.

Track prs from last season:

1600-4:49

800-2:06 (Split 2:04)

My goals this season are to go sub 2 in the 800 and sub 4:30 in the 1600m.

My most recent workout was 8x400m with 2 min rest in between. I went 69,68,67,68,69,67,67,65. (Keep in mind this workout was done on an asphalt track).

I've ran 3 meets so far this season.

3/08 Relay meet

800 split: 2:03 (no one around me)

1600 spilt: 4:4X

3/15

First open 1600-4:36

70,70,70,66

400m split: 54:55

3/22

First open 800- 2:02 I was sick with a terrible sore throat and felt terrible leading up the race. I went 62,60.

What times do you think I could run in each event this season?

    You can certainly run much faster when you get even splits and not negative splits.

    I think you can be under 2 flat and 4:30 in your next meet.
