Adrien Dannemiller ran a 1:08.25 in the indy half thats 5:14 pace. The kid is only 16 most high school kids cant run a 10:28 two mile let alone doing it for 13.1. Americas future in the marathon?
Central and Northern Indian HS distance running is HOT!
The South is DEAD.
In last years NCAA Championships, Indiana born runners were the tops in the nation.
Pray for the South though.
It must be an unbelievably sad existence to be so jealous of a 16 year old kid that you have to anonymously attack him on an internet message board.
Question: Do the state HS rules in Indiana allow a road race in the middle of the season? I know most states don't allow such extracurricular competition in season. Seems odd to me he could do this.
Great run, though. Props to the kid.
Any kid, anywhere in the USA can hop into a road race if he/she pays the entry fee.
In Indiana you can run road races during the track season but not during cross.
From the IHSAA 05-06 Bulletin:
Q.4 May students participate in independent road races?
A. a. No – during cross country contest season.
b. During the track season – Yes, provided they do not
violate their amateur status.

Interesting (eg pointless) distinction between cross and track.
I was involved in a case once where a kid was trying to enter a duathalon during cross season and the state body said "no state meet" if he did. We appealed and they finally caved.
No, the p.r. 1600 and 3200 times were the week before. He did run a 4:22 the night before in the DMR and finished up the meet with a :54 quarter in the 4x400.
And actually, he's 17. He was 16 when he registered for the race last fall.
Here's the story from the Star:

i was thinking the same thing... as long as he is not getting paid a kid can run any god damn thing he pleases

Over 30 years ago a 15 year old ran 2:29:11 for the marathon!
Mitch Kingery.
Why call that out, when Mitch ran a 2:23 the following year as a 16 year old? Isn't that more impressive?
Research by USA Track & Field, whose headquarters are in Indianapolis, revealed Dannemiller was just 14 seconds off the American half-marathon record for 17-year-olds. At 17, Thom Hunt of San Diego clocked 1:08:07 on July 4, 1975, at Coronado, Calif.
Hunt was one of the greatest high school runners of all time. Until Alan Webb broke the record in 2001, Hunt held the national indoor mile record of 4:02.7 since 1976.
"Thom Hunt, huh? That was back in the day," Martinsville High School coach Carl Wagner said.
Damn. Thom Hunt PR'd at 2:12:14. This kid is looking good.
the kid is a cheater plain and simple! i saw him cut multiple parts of the course. multiple!

Have to love it when a washed up runner in his mid-20s who didn't even run the race needs to tear apart a young kid. Dorri, you always were pathetic.
Yes, his 16:02 was faster than all but the top 5 and 14th. While his 1:08:21 actually equates quite closely to his mile and 2 mile times (just slightly better), how many high school runners can hold the equivalency to the half marathon distance? Most would drop off considerably after 5mi-10k range. Yet this kid closed with a comparatively fast last 5k.
Awesome.

And a lot could do better than the ":54" he ran on the 4x400 last week. This kid is SERIOUSLY a distance runner.
(and I am being serious, and NOT putting him down. Most good HS milers could pop a 50/51 in the relay (if not faster). But as you said, practically none could run that type of 1/2 marathon. I would rather have this kids' type of natural endurance/aerobic ability than decent 400 speed but never be able to build the endurance to fully capitalize on that speed. And isn't that what MOST good HS milers end up becoming???? " 'tweeners?" They have good speed, but certainly not enough to smoke a really fast 800, and decent endurance, but not enough to truly run a strong 10k-marathon. They end up as ok milers/5k'rs. This kid could be a MARATHON man plain and simple. It's good to specialize, and have special talents)
