About 1000 times every year. And those guys don't get into sub 9 races. Cool your jets.
Well, there were 77 guys at 9:24 or better at Arcadia in 2019 in the 3200m. We know that the top lists are dominated by runners at big meets, often most of the sub 9's are run there in a given year. Just a coincidence?

This is impressive. I ran 9:24 as a 102 pound 9th grader in the 70's, which I though was OK until I saw what Eric Hulst ran. Again, quite impressive.
What did Eric Hulst run?
Back in about 81, a buddy of mine was warming up for the 3000 in HS and saw a kid from another team that he didn't recognize. Found out he was a freshman that had just transferred in. Asked him what his best time was and he said, "8:36 as an 8th grader". Also said that he had run a 10k in a bit under 31 min as an 8th grader. Figured he was totally blowing smoke and then my buddy got smoked when the kid ran about 8:45 on a dirt track. Was Tracy Garrison from Glide, Oregon. He ran about 8:20 as a sophomore and won a few state titles. Not sure what kind of times he ended up running in HS but I do recall that he ended up at Auburn University and ran a bit under 14 for a 5k.
