she is now #18 on the all time junior list at 1500.
also can she be the first girl to break 4 for the 1500 in high school?
So if she DID break 4 minutes - she would have run 2:00 half mile followed by ANOTHER 2:00 minute half mile. WOW@!!! Truly Amazing!

The Salazar interview on Flotrack is interesting. He says she runs a lot faster than her workouts.
That's a good way to do it.

Better recheck your math on that one.

4 min. for 1500 meters which is about 1640.42 yards, short of the 1760 yards of a full mile. With even pacing, one woulg hit 880 yards in 2:08.75

you must be new here
the 800m is a fun race wrote:
No. That's crazy talk. She is not at that level yet, especially as a 800/1500 type. I'd say she could run 9:20 for the 3200 if pressed, but not much faster than that.

More Math! 2 miles is 3,218.688 meters. With the same paceing a 9 min 3,200 meter=9:03.15 2 mile. Only one woman has ever ran that fast! That would be Defar in 8:58.58 (2mile)
http://www.alltime-athletics.com/w2milesok.htmMary Cain is on the indoor list at #33!
overheard
Is Cain out of the testing pool because she is not a pro?
No
Well she does not take anyone's money away they just pay the next pro so why should she get tested. The IAAF does not ratify youth records anyway so why would WADA get involved?
No
No matter she's in an IAAF sanctioned meet. Their ball= their rules.

Why should it? The NFHS records NEVER claim to be the fastest marks by a high schooler. It's just the best marks ever in NFHS sanctioned events. Why should the NFHS be responsible for keeping track of marks in meets is has no involvement with? If someone else, like Track and Field News, wants to compile a comprehensive list of all marks made by high school aged athletes, then they are more than welcome to.
Finally, since it was a 1500, it's not even an event that the NFHS keeps track of.
Here's a question: do you keep track of your high school's records? Would you count a mark made by a kid running unattached in an open meet? Would you count a mark made by a kid not on the school team running on his/her own? Do you scour the summer all-comer meet results just in case one of your athletes posts a record-level mark?
I count any student who attends my high school and runs in a race regardless of where it is. Kids want to know who the fastest was, not the fastest under certain guidelines.
My fastest 3200 and 800 boys both ran their school records in open meets a week after their final high school competition. I count them as school records.

I enjoy hearing this about her. Too often runners focus on hitting times in workouts, and then expect them to project to race times. Workouts mean sh*t. Great to hear how much of a competitor she is and that she has a little something down there for races
