Nobody with those credentials has ever been a top miler.
Closes to it was Juantorena. I cannot locate the data but I think he ran around a 3:40 1500m near the end of his career.
Apparently you never heard of Caster Semenya.

While history and statistics is on your side, there are rarities. I don't know if A thing Mu could run the American record but I am convinced she could eventually run sub 4 minutes for 1500m.
Remember this is the athlete who ran sub 5 minutes mile indoors her sophomore year in high school. Then went on to almost win the triple at the AAU meet in the 400, 800, and 1500m at age 15 yrs old. Despite her seemingly World Class speed she is doing it off her endurance.
HOW MANY Sophomore high school girls can claim a sub 5 minute mile indoors? ATHING MU can and she wasn't training for it!!!!!
