Do you realize the state of California had 100 guys run 4:20 last year. And several teams had multiple guys at 4:20?

I’m happy for her. its got to be good for her confidence to win a race. hope she can keep the momentum going but…. 4:29 is maybe 4:11 for 1500? she ran 4;11 for 1500 last year indoors too, so it’s not as if it’s a huge step forward.
I convert it to 4:09.75.
Awesome! That would have put her in 47th place on the 2021 USATF Outdoor List. Maybe by the end of the year she'll be in the top 40!

They do. My team always starts off the season with a bunch of guys at 4:40 who end up sub 4:20 by the end of the season. It is much harder to drop that kind of time when you run 3:58 in the first meet of the year. And people who start the season at 5:30, frequently drop more than 30 seconds on the year.
Your teams always have a bunch of sub-4:20s guys? Unless you’re the coach at Newbury Park, you’re full of crap and a sub-4:20 guy is not going to run a 4:40. Is the goal to have big improvements over the course of the season or to run fast at the end?
I would agree. I've been around long enough to see plenty of kids starting the year at 4:40 indoors end up between 4:18-4:28 by indoor championship season/outdoors. However, this usually because it's the first couple races of the season and kids have either taken a long break from XC, are not speed ready, are just plain out of shape or their probably just running on a crappy flat track.
She’s a drop dead gorgeous girl, terrible runner though

Cain is trying something new. She is challenging the common belief that watts per kilogram is an important metric in middle distance running.
You need people like that who can think outside the box.
Time flies. I can't believe that match up at NXN between Alexa, Baxter and Cranny was in 2013. Good to see two of the three still running strong.
Weird she’s dating Jordan Gusman though. She’s good looking but he’s an ugly dude

Or it would put her top 15 mile performances last year.
Props to Emma on a solid race.
That said, my perception of a fast woman's mile changed significantly when Elle Purrier ran 4:19.

Emma?
She must like bad boys and he’s the worst “professional” runner out there.

Except that the women don't race the mile nearly as much as men do. In fact it's a very niche event for women much like the 500m for men.

Almost explains why a 1500m conversion isn’t as comparable as what other women have run for the mile in January.

Was your perception off? My perception of a good 1,500 time is sub-4 on the world stage and sub-4:05 for the US. Those are about 4:19 to 4:24. Unfortunately, Alexa is neither of those.
That NXN race from 2013 is still one of my favorite high school races of all time. Alexa was yo-yoing (made up my own word) to keep touch with Baxter and Cranny and smoked them at the end.

Good to see her back and not giving up.

Emma walked it in.
