What does she run now for 200 with a +1.4 wind?

Who cares?

How old is she - ie year of birth? School year is meaningless.

The reason the listed AJR is faster than the listed WJR is that the IAAF won't recognize Dior Hall's mark (which was run at the 2015 NCAA) because of the lack of post-race drug testing.

Most people will remember that Emma Coburn lost a steeple AR for the same reason. However, USATF does recognize Hall's time as the AJR because USATF does not hold Junior records to the same requirement.

Bottom line: although Jones nominally tied the official WJR for the event, it's not an AJR and it won't be recognized by IAAF as a co-WJR if there was no post-race drug testing.

She's 15 will be 16 in September, same age as any normal going on sophomore pretty much.

Correct. A September birthdate probably puts her in the oldest 10-15% of her class. If she were a sophomore going into her junior year, she would be in the youngest 2-3% of her class.

I'm 14 and turning 15 in September and I'm a freshman. For some reason its always the people 1 year older than most freshman running these freshman records like her and Tyrese Cooper.

It's not just a freshman record.

It's a high school record.

Like, faster than any high school girl in US history. Period.

Also, you're pretty young for your grade.

I'll be a junior and tuning 17 on January 31st. But pretty much every starting their junior year turns 17 well before then that Ik. Some places you have to be a certain age before you start preschool, so you have to wait till the next year to start if you're a few days outside whatever date that is. But Tia will graduate when she is 18, and since school starts in August here and she goes to a school in the same county as me she'll be turning 16 after the school starts which is normal. And did you start highschool at 13? That's just early

I was more aiming my anger at Cooper since he is about 20 months older than me and we are somehow in the same grade.

My birthday is September 2nd so I turned 14 about a week before school started here. So I will turn 15 before Sophmore year starts. I don't get why it's not just based on year. Like all 2000 birthdays should be sophmores. All 2001 birthdays should be freshman.

Well some people move from other states and stuff things happen to cause things to be "off" but really for her there's no difference maybe a few months for the 90% avg

How is the listed American Jr record faster than the WJR??

No drug test following the AJR record is what was discussed a bit earlier in this thread.
