The question you asked is very good. I read it carefully but could not find anyone to help me understand it. Anyone can describe it correctly here
First race maybe 647?
520 end of freshman year
514 end of soph
459 end of junior.
459 end of senior.

Up until my senior year, I PRed every time I ran it, with exception of 3 times JR year, first was a meet we intentionally jogged to save energy, second was a race where I opened in 60, then slowed got chewed up by my teammates who dropped me on the third lap and I gave up and ran 4:40 (PR was 4:36 then), third was a meet where I was tripling for points and had no competition and ran 4:48 (PR was 4:36 then).
In my senior year, I came into the season in poor shape after not running in the summer. I ran a bunch of 4:38-4:40ish efforts, losing only to my teammate who became a 9:09 3200 runner that season. I started to get going when we had some invites, ran 4:33, then 4:32. My teammate dropped his 3200 from 9:38 to 9:10, which woke me up, then when we matched up at our championship I defended my conference title against him with 4:23 massive PR. I ran 4:24 at district to go to state, then choked state and never ran 1600m again. I did run a bunch of 1500s in college but never ran better than 4:09.

No one asked for 3200
Did not compete in high school. Freshman-junior times approximate.
6:50
5:50s (recall doing this on the indoor track)
5:40 or 5:50
5:21 self-timed, making an effort, while running on my own about 10 miles a week
Did compete in college, 4:31. All time best 4:25 at age 27.
5:00.1 (full mile)
DNP as soph
4:51
DNP as senior
40:00 on a great day if I could walk that far.
20:19 Lost 250lbs
7:06 Lost 200 more pounds--yes I was that big.
4:21 Full year of training at a healthy weight. Conference champion. Qualified for states. Got offered a scholarship to a mid major university. Never really ran the mile much in college, but I did get my 5k time down to 14:24.

I am just realizing that I can't remember my 1600m PRs from freshman and sophomore year of high school. So I'll give the 3200m progression

F: N/A didn't run track yet
S: N/A also hadn't started
J 5:01 but only raced it once so far
Senior goal is 3:53 or better
I was a little overweight wrote:

I'm amazed at what you accomplished. Have you shared your story on letsrun or elsewhere? Would love to read more about how you did it.
Not trying to brag, but I got a 1600 first time I took the test. Never took it again. Not sure if that counts as a progression really. Told the ACT to fk off too, so don't have a point of reference there sorry.
