I know for a fact that the entire Saugus girls program, as well as many other runners from around the area, run well over 40 miles per week. So it's not uncommon.

Actually there are. As an alumni of a very good HS team from California, I can tell you that there were at least 5-10 women on my team who hit that type of mileage. Also, Sarah Sumpter (now at UC Davis)... HUGE improvement from 10th to 12th grade, largely in part to the 100 mpw she put in. See this thread:

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't believe you..........
I am well aware that there have been a handful of High school girls that have hit the 100mile mark. 100miles per week??????? I doubt there have been any, unless you average their two best weeks together. 10 girls on the same team averaging 100 miles per week??? Sorry, sell the fable elsewhere.
I've worked with a number of international runners who were pretty good in high school. None of them hit 100 miles in a single week while in high school.
