Her birthday is September 23, 2006. She's not overaged for her grade at all. She's older than probalby most but virtally everyone turns 18 during their senior year of HS just like she did.
I started college at 19.
Are U.S. Highschool grades based on birthdate by school year?
In Canada, it's usually birthdate by Calendar year. A student born in 2006 would typically have graduated in June of 2024. Only about half of students turn 18 in their final year of high school.
In US every State has different start ages, so kids go in to school at different ages. Kindergarten start can be anywhere from 4-6 and kids graduate hs from 17-19.
Some smart kids occasionally skip a grade, troubled kids can get held back. Some parents deliberately start kids late for sports, or early to get them out of the house LOL.
Most male to female points tables / equivalencies have this as a 13:07ish 5k. The top high school boys in the US are still 13:30s guys. Crazy to think of a US boy running sub 13:10 in HS
It's NOT a shocker to me, I've posted several threads saying on a good day sub 15:10 was possible and with an excellent run she was capable of sub 15 minutes.
many of Tuohy's records have been broken, but Hedengren is the first runner to actually surpass Tuohy as a US women's high school talent. And she looks strong and healthy. Fingers crossed she is the real deal going forward.
I taught and tutored for nearly 2 years and yes the general rule nowadays is that any child born after September 1st has to start with next year's cohort because transitional kindergarten exists in California and overall idea is that the student may be to under developed compared to their peers. There are cases of exemption, but that is the typical standard from what I've seen.

Just for reference, Zola Budd, at the age of 17, when she broke the 5000 m world record with a time of 15:01.83. In 1985, she claimed the world record officially, while representing Great Britain, clocking 14:48.07.

Taking nothing away from Jane because she had a fantastic race. It will be interesting to see what times she can achieve and what her specialty is? She also has a younger sister and brother, both runners.

right. she's not TOO OLD for her class. But she is OLDER for her class.
Most states have september of october as cut off dates. In New York State it's 12/1. Those sept-nov kids are either super young, or in maybe 20% of cases they might be held back at some point, and become the older kids in the class.

She doesn't even drink coffee or coke, her whole focus has been that and church and BYU. Why don't you take your completely unsubstantiated nonsense and try to think rather than be a Pavlov Dog conditioned "Great time, must be doping". Given that your opinion on the matter both here and in other applications is worthless.
I had a ton of August and September kids in my high school graduation class. They all turned 18 at the very beginning of the academic year. Even had a July 1st kid on my XC team that turned 19 6 weeks after graduation.
I never knew a single person that did the opposite. Nobody turned 17 their senior year.
I figured that's the way it worked all across the US, but maybe it's dependent on state/region of country.
Here in AZ the cutoff is August 31st. There are occasional exemptions made, but not common. Basically anyone born in September will be the oldest in their class.
edit ok this reminds me a lot of Kessler's 3:34 in vibe. Valby just became the first NCAA runner to run sub-15 last year, Kessler had ran faster than the record Nuguse had just set; 14:57 is just off the Oly qualifier I think, 3:34 was a bit under it; and apparently Kessler's WA score is a little better. Certainly one of the strongest records on the books, and clearly she's competitive collegiately. I'd love to know what she could do in a championship race where she wasn't leading a ton of it.
a long time ago I was born in October of 1957 and graduated from hs in June of 1975 and did not skip a grade. I remember running against someone as a hs senior who was 2 + years older than me.
I would be surprised if Adidas does not at least make the offer. And considering one simple injury can have serious consequences, she should seriously consider it.
I can’t think of anyone that went pro out of high school, and develop better than their peers. It’s a bad idea.
Jakob and Hobbs both did it. This race was comparable to Kessler's 3:34.71, since that beat the college record at the time. This did not beat the current college record, but it beat Jenny Simpson's record, which was just broken less than a year and a half ago by Valby, and with the aerobic development demands being higher and slower to develop at higher distances, this performance is just as good by age. It is naturally a lot farther from the world record than Hobb's time or the hs 400m guy who ran 44.20, but then high schoolers don't run as good 5000s as, say, 400s or even 1500s. I didn't know whether she would do this, but the capability was clearly there, because, first, you just watch her form at NXN and you can see the greatness, and second, she was running without any pacers in her previous records. Here she had the pacer to 2600 and then the wavelights and the competition. She was hardly able to speed up the last two laps so she was full out, but you have to love the courage to take the lead from 2600 to 4200 and hate the cowardice of top collegians sitting and kicking on a high school runner.

the classroom im teaching right now has 7/12 kids with sept-nov bdays. they will all turn 17 their senior year.
