Hasay ran 4:28 , 1500 at 13 or 14,D. Menlove ran 4:29 as a 13 yr old. Each year at Junior Olympics, a 5:02 would be about 3rd in the 13&14 year old ladies race. The conversion is about 18.8 to the mile for the girls from 1500 to full mile. So Menlove ran 4:48 flat one week after her 4:29 1500 at usatf Junior olympics. She was still only 13 at that time.
Gwen Coogan's daughter ran a 5:02 (probably 1600, not sure) as a freshman (Exeter, I think); I am not sure what she has done since. Too bad they are not still in Madison, having a junior that good (with a sibling coming up) on a good team [4-6 at state?] where the top 6 are freshmen and sophomores would be great.
the real question is how developed is she? cause if she is, its time to play ball!!
Strap eight pounds to her chest and anywhere from three to five pounds to her ass (or vice versa). Then have her run a mile, this will give you a good indication of what she will be running like once she begins to ovulate.
8 pounds of Breasts?
She isn't going to be Pamela Anderson out running a 5:02
Good enough to be in the top 20 in the UK.

The main reason for not improving when older is giving up completely

She won the championships, so this tells you all you can know.
Not the best historically and many women do run around this fast while young, as almost half of women run fastest earlier and slower as they age.
Good to see a young kid prove the nay sayers wrong yet again. I still remember that 2017 national championship for Phelan. Great finish and a great run.
There's a middle school girl in Ventura right now that has run 4:47 for the 1600 at the Clovis relays.
A guy who runs wrote:
I watched my daughters cross country race today and her teammate crushed the rest of the field by 90 seconds over 3K and looked like she was jogging. Final time was something like 10:30 on a hilly course. I asked the coach about her and she said that this girl is favored to win the OFSAA and last summer ran a 5:02 mile at some North American championship race winning by 6 seconds. My daughter says everyone talks about her being the best distance runner her age in North America.
I'd like to get some perspective. How many 14 year old girls have run 5:02 for a mile?
I coach a young 14 female in Australia and we just finished our track and field season. She ran 4:37 for 1500m for a bronze medal and 10:08 for silver in 3k with last k in 3:12 (she has run 10:06). So that young lady is pretty good who you refer to.
I only see this young athlete 3x per week and she runs only 5x per week but does other sports as well.
We keep her humble she is not even close to being the best female in our group with her training partner running 4:28 for 1500m at 16 .
In a snapshot in time, it is really good. I will say nothing further.

5:02 is a very good time for a 14 year old whether today or 11 years ago when this thread was started.
