Call them "not that great," but the latter two were set by an Olympic medalist in a distance event.

Not bad for the times they were set. Track program hasn't been the same in 15+ years, though. I have the 1600 and anchored relays (other than 4x400) and my teammate has the 800 with me at 1:54high

800 - 1:54.10 (1992)

1600 -4:17.20 (1992)

3200 - 9:19 (2001)

4x400 - 3:18.23 (1992)

4x800 - 7:52:44 (1992)

DMR - 10:18 (1992)

Earlier.

9:59

4:40

1:49...1:49

Graduating class of 28 down home country folk.

100m: 11.04

200: 22.40 (same dude as 100)

400: 48.72 (same dude as LJ, went D1)

800: 1:55.05 (went D1)

1600: 4:18 (went D1)

3200: 9:20 (d3 all american)

LJ: 23'6 (most impressive record by far, same kid as 400)

HJ: 6'7 (set in 1972)

4x8: 7:50

4x4: 3:20

SP: 56'6 (d1 FB player)

might I add, the 4x8, 4x4, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 LJ, and SP records were all set in the same year. that team was amazing

this is a small white kid school

1:51.09

4:14.92

9:17.71

800 definitely strongest, 3200 probably weakest

800m - 1:55.7

1600m - 4:21.5

3200m - 9:35

1600m Relay - 3:24.4

3200m Relay - 7:56.0

Three pronged approach here, well lets make it two and a half.

My high school was only 5 years old when I went there, so not much time for build up and setting tradition. But the coach (fmr national class quarter miler) did his best and had a leader board in the locker room.

Back then

2:00 - 880

4:28 - mile

10:10? 2 mile

Now

1:54

4:17

9:13

At the school where my kids have gone it's a bit of a mystery, which is weird because I'm an assistant. Even I don't know, and coaches past and present don't appear to communicate/pass on the info. There is no leader board or website, and the top 10 stuff on athletic.net only goes as far back as the current coach.

1:57 (about 10 years ago)

4:22 (a couple years ago)

~9:34 (maybe 20 years ago)

1:56

4:18

9:01

1:54.08

4:16.0

9:01.4

I think the posted times are believable. Most of these sub-9 times are likely from the big states, Cal, NY, Tex, Oregon, etc. Those states have had lots of guys run under 9 and 8:50 over the years.

I'd say, and while that by itself is believable, I call bs on the number of sub 9 and esp sub 850 times claimed here. I think my state record is still 90x, and it a fairly good fairly populous state.

Exactly my thoughts. I think something like 7 state records fell at Arcadia last year and only 2 were sub 8:50, and those just barely. And how many high schools are in each of those states? Either bs or some serious selection bias here.

Not just big states. I was from a mid-sized mid-population state, and the year I graduated three guys went 9:04 or faster for 3200 (state champ 8:56) [converted from 2 mile], and one of those guys did a 4:05 mile that year.

Got me to thinking about our cross town rival. Couldn't find their records page but they had a sprinter do 10.4 100 m 20.8 for 200 m (later played in the NFL), and 4:12/8:56 (went on to many NCAA all-American, and and NCAA championship).

Never mind, it's Craig Lutz.

20+ years ago when I was a student...

Mile (not 1600) was 4:20

2 mile (not 3200) was 9:20

Think they've been broken since.
