Do you know what the word similar means? If that is not similar, what is? Nope. I guess in no way does her performance resemble her performances from freshman year. Grouping runners in 5 second groups for 1200 seems pretty reasonable. If you slice it to only a second or 2, then almost no performances are similar. If she ran 3:15 yesterday, that would not be similar just like if she ran 3:35.
