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.
I agree. If watch the video towards the end Coach Dijeet says to them you're going to break 4:20 this year.
Hopefully! Diljeet Taylor did say that Hedengren is running less mileage than she was in high school though, so overtraining isn’t likely.
Let's see them replicate that in a real meet.
Such a fantastic take. Three of the four of them won the NCAA DMR last year, and the fourth was busy shattering every HS record she came across. You're right though, they're gonna get buried come DMR weekend in February - probably won't even break 11:00. Lol

Right? Riley's 3:13 1200m converts, sea level, to around a 4:20 1600m. Jane's 4:29 1600m converts to a sea level 4:25. Good call-out.

Not bad for a dinky home meet on a Wednesday. The BYU women ran 10:41.85 in the DMR yesterday — which converts to a 10:33.10 according to the NCAA. 10:33.10 is faster rhan the 10:33.85 world record set by a New Balnce team anchored by Elle St. Pierre in 2022.
Splits:
Riley Chamberlain, 3:15
Sami Oblad, 52
Tessa Buswell, 2:07
Jane Hedengren, 4:27 (apparently Hedengren's dad said she ran 4:29 so we've changed it)What is bad is the BYU press release on the meet. This is an embarrassment for a Sports Information Department. It focuses on a pentathlete scoring 4,105 points.
I imagine they can split faster than that on both the 800m and 1600m legs (Jane could (should?) definitely be sub-4:25 by NCAA indoors), but that’s a heck of a 1200m leadoff by Chamberlain.
i saw that race, she went out at 4;10 mile pace. OMG! Fearless!
