Why? Maybe she only wants to run in high school and then do something else with the rest of her life? Sometimes it's better to go for it while you can.
Previous record was 4:36.0 set by Gunvor Hilde of Norway in 1979.
Sadie already ran 4:34 last week, so this is her #2 time.
that was the 1600 split not the full mile time (4:36.63). whats scary is that in an interview before Arcadia she said that she hadnt even started doing any speed work to build up her kick yet (this was after Frias outkicked her at Azusa Pacific). if she can run this fast without a speed base to finish on just how fast will she be able to run by June after shes worked on her finishing seed? she only needs a few more seconds...

It's also very impressive she can 2:05 without speedwork. How many high schoolers could run 4:35 and 2:05? Cain, Efraimson? And neither could run those times as frosh. I believe Decker was 2:02/4:40 at the same age. No one else has been close.

Not many could do it at the age, but there have been several girls with ball park performances. I remember a few years back Kate Murphy, Christina Aragon, and Katie Rainsberger we’re the big names running those times. Unfortunately none have really progressed since, but they were definitely firing on all cylinders during those peak years.

There was a girl from Mass in the early 2000’s who ran a 4:37 mi and came back 45 minutes later and split 2:06, Lambie
