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).

These are only INDOOR times by the way.

What about Jenny Barringer's 15 flat? Not counted because of the oversized track?

re: fastimes

How is that even possible? 15:13 is an amazing time for a male. Hopefully her college and pro coaches don't continue the pattern of injuring and burning out our top high school athletes.

Yes. I only counted 200m tracks. If we count Barringer's time then Sisson never held the record.

Do we think Astro has a KT body pillow? He is a creep so I would not put it past him. Also he just loves ignoring super shoes. If you adjust for those Jane is not much fast than KT was in HS. And then you remember that Jane has been running for longer(at altitude) than KT.
Seriously, I’m not sure which is more stupid, your post or the upvotes it garnered. This girl is WAY FASTER than Tuohy was in high school. While running in sloppy muddy conditions, where super-shoes would be of less advantage, she still blew Tuohy’s dry-land cross-country record away.
Because of all the upvotes on your idiotic post, it needs to be said:
Today, astro and TUOHY CULT go home DEVASTATED!!!

I was exaggerating a little bit(a lot). I just meant the gap is not as big as times would suggest. I do agree that Astro is crying himself to sleep today. His obsession with KT is concerning. He should be on a watchlist for it, no?

Reminder: 1984, 17 year old Zola Budd, 5,000m in 15:01. And no super shoes. In fact, no shoes at all!

That's because barefoot running is faster than wearing cumbersome shoes.

This reminds me of Kessler running 3:34 in HS. Wasn't it faster than the collegiate only competition record when he did it?

She is committed to BYU so she should be fine. Burnout rates are pretty low there.

It would be about 15:30 without trampoline shoes. Still incredible!

They protect them because they are in HS. You should know better. Leave the kids alone Astro. Go after the ones out of HS.

I know. I ran in the mid to late 90s and remember Gabe Jennings winning the WI State Meet with a 15:30 something… tough course with lots of hills but the times kids are running now are crazy.

Yeah I almost made the same comparison, although Kessler’s time was faster than the official NCAA record (I believe Nuguse had just soloed a 3:34 CR at his conference meet) and was faster than the Olympic standard. I don’t think this is quite as good as that run was, but a few months before his 3:34, Kessler broke the HS indoor mile record with a 3:57 before a massive drop outdoors. With how fast she closed (in a championship race with no pacers no less), Hedengren might make a similar drop outdoors (although the 14:52 CR/world standard is too big of a drop to be considering right now).

Also thanks TrackStats, I tried finding the 5k record progression for a few minutes but couldn’t find anything besides Jenny’s 15:01 on an oversized track and the outdoor record.
