Does anyone know if she is planning on going until USAs to run the 5000m? She could surely mix it up with the pros a good bit there.
We merged this thread with another thread that was started as the race was going on. That thread was titled incorrectly (as it was a 2 mile): "Record watch: Hedengren in 3200m"

Didn’t she just run a 5000 a couple days ago? Whats she doing racing again so soon? Too much
She set a mile record earlier in the week and then this. If that's too much, why was she so successful?

She shouldn’t do any racing at the USA championships. She’s already racing too much as it is, and she has no chance of finishing top 3 in any event.
She should take a break now, rest, and then build her base for fall xc.
She should do whatever her and her coach decide. They clearly know better than the rest of us at this point.

At last, a sensible LR post. Let's turn down the hype a notch before we have yet another teenage wreckage.

Wow. #28 world all-time. Obviously not a frequently run event, but still impressive. Should be roughly a 1176 world ranking score, better than her recent 4:23 mile.
Agree, hope she's not racing too much, but it probably helps that most of these recent events have been not quite 100% effort (because she pushing herself but not being pushed by others).

No. They should listen to a neutral third party observer like me who has seen countless high school prodigies burn out from trying to do too much too soon. People in her camp won’t think rationally because they are caught up in the excitement.
She’s broken all the high school distance records now. Job is finished.
Wasn’t she injured last year?

She's good, but she's no Parker Valby.

Sorry Brooks PR she ruined your meet. Nothing else can be impressive standing next to this record.

She's better.

While Ms. Hedengren is indeed a special runner, it's only for now. It's hilarious that she keeps getting compared to Alexa Efraimson, who was also a HS phenom and retired at 25 after 8 years of accomplishing nothing as a pro. She also gets compared with Mary Cain, who has not competed professionally in running since 2020, another total bust. They should be cautionary tales, i.e. who cares if Jane is "the HS GOAT"? She should be judged on her performance professionally. No one did any favors to Efraimson or Cain by overhyping them, and the same applies to Hedengren.

a 7th grade girl running 51.6 is a pretty good follow up.

Holy sh*t, world U20 record???? Am I seeing this right???
I wonder what Medina Eisa ran for 3k or 2 miles in her 14:21.89 for 5k record. With the assumption that she ran even splits, then that's roughly a 9:17 2 mile? Someone better with math can correct. But it wouldn't be surprising if the fastest ever almost-20-year-old Ethiopian girl is quicker than a 18-year-old American. Jane still has a while to get some World U20 records.
So we do believe that Eisa is actually an under 20 athlete? Also Jane unfortunately does not have a ton of time to get U20 records as this is her last year as a junior athlete.

Can someone just organize some patsy 10K event in her hometown so she can easy run the 10K record?

Official enroute splits are posted.
9:14.65 for 3200m
8:40.99 for 3000m
Did they get a 2000m split on her? HS record was only 5:57.56 and she came through 2018m in 5:51.15.
She literally took down ever HS record above 1 mile en route to this record. 2000m, 3000m, 3200m
