Oh my god that is fast, it's been a while since I hopped onto LR and saw a thread where the time really shocked me, but 15:13 is insane even taking shoes and tracks into account. Wasn't the NCAA record 15:07 like 3 years ago?
Until December 2023, the record was only 15:12.22.
Emily Sisson set it with a 15:12.22 in 2015. Between 2015 and 2023, eight times (by seven different runners) were run between 15:13 and 15:16. The record held until Parker Valby ran 14:56.11 in Dec 2023. Since then, nine races have been run faster than Sisson's 15:12 (Lemngole 2, Valby 2, Olemomoi, Halladay-Lowry, Kosgei, Bunnage, and Noe).
