  1. One lap, one clock

    Samuel Ogazi's 43.38 is the time from the gun to the finish of a full lap at Eugene, Oregon on June 12, 2026. A 400 is long enough that how the effort is divided matters, and this entry does not keep the split that would show it. What counts is the official time only.

  2. 20.6 mph across the lap

    400 meters in 43.38 seconds is about 20.6 mph for the whole lap. That is much slower than a 100-meter average because the distance is four times as long. Samuel Ogazi's figure is the personal best on the all-time list, not a radar peak on the back straight.
