There is no way in hell this is legit. A 13 year old GIRL running 51.6 is literally impossible. Either there's a timing error or they are on crazy steroids. That's equivalent to a 13 year old boy running 45. There is just no way. This needs serious review
Timing error most likely. Her previous pb was around 54 seconds.

No. Because the rest of them would have clocked much faster as well.
Her nearest competition on her prior 54 was 4 seconds behind her.
Why do we call it a "middle school" race if you are a 15 year old 8th grader or 14 year old 7th grader? Those are high school ages and off by TWO years, not just one.
Why don't we just use "birth year" as the category like every other civilized country in the world?

Because the AAU lost.
And don't get me wrong - I agree with you and wish they hadn't!

No. It's probably 10 or 11 months older than the average rising 8th grader in June.

I timed it. Legit.
I've seen various reports which list her as 13 and 14 so I'm not sure if she's a year old for a 7th grader or not but even if she was an 8th grader this is fantastic.

Eighth graders are legitimately turning 14 this year. Born in 2011. 15 this year is overage. Would be in the 15-16 bracket at USATF meets.
Furthermore, everything I've read says that she's 13, which could be anywhere from slightly younger than slightly older than average . . . but definitely in the correct class for a 7th-grader in June.

No it's not. Turning 14 this year is the correct age for 8th grade, as other posters have noted -with very slight wiggle room for exception. But like others said... doesn't matter, her time is INSANE for MS, period, and she's solidly in MS by age.

It depends on when she's turning 14. If she doesn't turn 14 until the fall semester, then she is the right age for an 8th grader.
There were a lot of great performances at this meet; I mean truly great. The boys 800m and the girls 2-mile was epic, but they were performances we all thought were possible. However, the middle school girls 400m is hard to process; either there was a timing error or what a Camryn Dailey just did is the greatest age group result in history.
I don't get why people keep saying "timing error"... Are we suggesting the youtube video clip is also in error? You can hand time it. You can see where she started and finished.
