I think what’s most notable is that Jane Hedengren ran the first half of her season under the weather. Her 3m time at Woodbridge was 15:36 and her 5k time at NXR SW was 15:50. Difference of 14 seconds.
If we compare others who ran both Woodbridge 3m vs NXR Southwest 5k:
Payton Meineke: 15:58 / 17:10
Tessa Walter: 16:14 / 17:21
Jordan Banta: 16:26 / 17:28
(Not including Lily Adler due to injury)
The average difference is about 1:07.
Subtracting 1:00 from 15:50 gets us 14:50. It’s crazy to think about but… if Hedengren had been healthy at Woodbridge, could she have run the first sub-15 3m time in HS girls history? It seems impossible, yet…
