I notice the progression of the top 5k runners each year goes something like this:
9th - 19:00 to 17:00
10th - 17:00 to 16:00
11th - 16:00 to 14:40
12th - 15:30 to 14:30

Puberty and being untrained before high school
Testosterone is good stuff.
periodization and being somewhat undertrained in the summers, so a bigger drop with competition and good coaching during the season.
Especially synthetic one.
With consistent running!!!
If you picked up a new activity right now, you would show huge improvements rather quickly. Those improvements would come slower the longer you participated.

You've noticed poorly. Progression rarely follows that variable slope.
There's a lot of variables
Like how you went from 40 minutes in the 5k to 30 explain that incredible 10 minute improvement?

Please..... Give me a break. There aren't more than a few sub 15 guys and they surely didn't run 19 min. As freshman.
Check out 100 times, discus, or pretty much any event & you will see similar % gains.

The guys that run low 15's or sub 15 usually run somewhere around low 16:20s or faster. Rarely do you see someone that runs 17s freshman year and sub 15 senior year. Freshman that are top for their age are almost always sub 16 or close to it.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
