Jane Hedengren stays hot. Splits 4:29 for 1600 at altitude as BYU DMR runs 10:47 that converts to a 10:31 WR

Oh she's hot alright.

I'm 17 btw not a weird old guy.

What is a 4:29.2 at altitude worth at sea level(for the mile)?

4:25. she went out too fast @ 4:10 pace and paid for it a bit (4:33 pace 3rd lap) but rallied for the last lap.

I can't believe BYU ran that fast because they had two previous State Cross Country Champions from that horrible distance state California on that relay team. Hahaha!

As somebody who has raced plenty of times on that track, this is EXTREMELY impressive. Literally the slowest track I've ever ran on, my high school team added an extra 5 seconds per mile for our altitude +byu track conversion. Nobody ever runs pr's on this track

I'm 21, and I have great respect for women, and think she's mid...

This track is very old and slow with extremely tight turns. Not "illegal" despite your claim and slower than these brand new trampoline tracks especially with altitude.

No way 10:47 converts to 10:31. Are they applying a crappy track conversion time too?

I always assumed it was to get your marks early when the athletes are in peak shape, and then take a nice long break over December. Nationals isn't until March so technically they don't need to race again until Feb if they are safely locked into a spot?

*10.41 not 10:47.

Good for her. I am trying to stay warm as it is getting cold outside.

The original thread title proclaimed "WORLD RECORD!" So I wrote two short sentences refuting a dumb proclamation by Citius and the OP. Guess that counts as a "weird obsession" and "taking it personal" in your book. I'll be excited to see them legitimately go after the record later this season.

Wow!!! I had no idea that they were that good!!! LOL...LOL...LOL!!!

Can they do that at a sanctioned meet on a regulation 200m short track during the upcoming indoor season when it counts? Of course they can!!! That being said, the altitude conversion is useless, and comparing the time to the current DMR record is useless as well. It does however give some insight as to how fit the BYU women are, but they still need to prove it when it counts over the next few months. Nothing wrong with a "glorified" workout post X-C when you're fit, why waste it.

Everybody’s talking about Hedengren but Chamberlain’s 3:13 1200m, at altitude, is fkn INSANE! If anybody’s in sub-4:20 mile shape right now, it’s her.

Agree. There's no way BYU doesn't break the record this year, as long as Jane doesn't run into issues with bone density and overtraining.

In the indoor DMR on an "illegal" track at altitude? Not sure it really counts for anything.

With a few small tweaks Dijeet could turn that outfit into a cotton candy costume.
