15 minutes 5K guys... Who was the slowest in HS?

Current 5k PR (Jan '10) 15:31

HS PRs

1600(open): 5:02

1600(relay): 4:59

3200: 10:19

9:22 in high school and a somewhat less impressive 4:25 for the 1600, but ran 14:50 the next year indoors.

I ran 16:30 on the roads in highschool and 15:59 out of highschool in the same race.

HS Times:

800m 2:08

1600m 5:03

5k XC 18:03

College 5,000m 15:21

While I don't quite qualify for the category, I figured I was close enough and that my times were relevant to the topic..

High school:

400 - 54.6

800 - 2:08

1600 - 5:01

3200 - 11:32

3 mile XC - 18:35

5k XC - 18:33

College - Mid-level D2 program (one more season to go):

400: 50.5

800: 1:56

1500: 4:08 (ran once)

5k: 16:28 (ran once)

8k: 27:15

I'm planning on running a mile, more 1500s, a 3k, and a 5k in the upcoming track seasons and my goals, which I think are attainable, are:

1500 - 3:59

Mile - 4:18

3000 - 9:05

5k - 15:55

I was also a late bloomer, not really hitting my growth spurt until junior year of HS and really finally hitting my complete growth until freshman year of college.

Also, in HS, I was more into it for the social aspect, but saw immediate improvement in college when I really jumped into it. I focused on the 800 my freshman track season and took my PR from 2:08.9 to 1:58.54 in less than a year.

Aside from collegiate 800m, we have almost exactly the same stats, within a couple seconds. I went to a mid-level D2 program as well.

I literally have the same times as you in high school and after. Crazy. My half marathon is a minute faster but you have a faster marathon by a minute.
