The charts I've located indicate that a 2:12 800m runner should be able to run a 4:35. 2:00 equals a 4:03. I'm not seeing this. So if a female high school runner can run 2:12, she should be able to run 4:35 for the mile?
right

while 2:12 for a female is very impressive, I think 4:35 is much more impressive. 4:35 is basically national champion/national record. whereas 2:12 is typical state meet competition
That's what I'm saying. It doesn't convert.
Interesting. Firstly, we must define all the big races. In my perspective, there are 3 primary ones. Maybe 4.
Now, which race is objectively the best in terms of athletic ability? Probably the black. We just then find, of course with multiple variables considered, the ratio per capital of performance times between the blacks and other races. We may then be able to conjure up a formula to ‘predict’certain performances.

Your numbers are off. For an 800, 2:00 is a good but hardly elite time for a HS male. 4:03 on the other hand is among the best performances you'd see at the HS level for males each year. I think the problem is with your charts.
Your chart is probably converting for 1500 and not the mile.

My bad.
Also, it appears that other posters are confused. OP, please clarify your intentions regarding the topic of this thread.
I'm coaching a girl who I'm thinking will run 2:12 indoor this season. She's a junior. The conversion charts I've seen say she should also be able to run a 4:35. There's no way. What am I missing? What could we expect in her 1600?

if a girl runs 2:12... she should be in the 4:55 - 5:05 range for 1600m
Ah, I agree then with the above poster. No way does 4:35 equate to a 2:12. I would venture her to be around 5 flat as well, given that she is aeorbically sound.
