Jane Hedengren won the Woodbridge Sweepstakes, beating out Elizabeth Leachman (who broke Tuohy's 5k record before Jane took that down) and Sadie Engelhardt (who broke Tuohy and eventually Mary Cain's mile records) back in 2023 before getting injured and knocked out the rest of the season. That was certainly showing talent. She's also consistently been winning Utah state titles
There is a livestream available on the SportTrax mobile app.

She actually was showing that talent before. She then got injured. This is about her longest uninjured streak in a while.
She will run 1:58.7
Nah. Evident doping is when high school girls run historic times and have bulging muscles and then flounder later. There have been a few who meet the obvious criteria.
Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll have to figure out what time the race is; I saw 2 different times
They are on heat 2 of 19 heats in the girls 800 currently. Jane will be in the last heat. SportTrack is estimating a start time of 11:52 Mountain Time.

Really great effort, but does reinforce her skills currently leaning towards the longer events.
Yes. Those of us with a brain said she could run 2:03. Too many males here don't understand the difference between males and females.

I think Mackenna Herbst is the future in W800m.. watched her race at Mt. Sac and that Arkansas program going to take her to 50/1:59 territory.

The soph/jr Hedengren was not just some 'very good' 5:00/ 10:30 girl. Rather she was already at 4:34 / 9:50 and competing with and beating on occasion the top 5 US hs runners.
These early times already had her in the top 5 national runners, and appearing on all time top 10 lists.
2025 is also her final U20 year, she won't be eligible for World Jr xc in Florida. So she is also comparable with many college freshmen.
Who knows, she may already be running in her adult frame and can avoid injury downtime.

I’m not sure a prediction that’s 3 seconds off in an 800 reflects well on your brain.

‘Suddenly became historic’ pls just shut up already.
The girl won Woodbridge in 15:30 over 1.5 years ago.
There has been nothing ‘sudden’ about her rise.
