Interesting question-
Who holds the World Record (or World Best since it is not an official event)for the 1600 meters? Remember, there are no enroute to mile splits at the non-high school meets, workouts do not count, conversions do not count, relay splits do not count...Thus, it would have to be some US high school kid..
As far as I know, its Alan Webb's 3:59.91 official en route to a 4:01.81 mile mark set at Arcadia on April 14, 2001.
As far as a straight up 1600, then probably its Ryan Hall, who ran 4:02.62 on June 2, 2001 to win the Ca State HS meet in Sacramento
