Mary Cain's 1600m/1mile record broken by Indiana's Addy Wiley (4:26.16)

Heavy stuff the day your record gets broken. Advance the sport anyhow.

wow!

very good record

Didn't Cain run a 4:04 1500m? Converts to about a 4:23 mile.

WOW! Incredible time.

and a 4:24 mile but that was either indoors or she “wasn’t in high school.” can’t remember

Off the charts! That is just outstanding. And it's not that much worse than the 1500m time, as you rarely get miles equivalent to 1500m performances by the 1.08 factor. Just ask Lagat and Makhloufi.

Jesus Christ.

She's from Indiana

She's headed to Boulder

She's gonna be a star

'Addy Wiley is an absolute beast.' Huntington North star completes unheard-of double-double.

@indystar

Huntington North's Addy Wiley settled for history, rather than hysteria, in completing an unprecedented double-double at the IHSAA girls track finals.

Also Kate Murphy ran a 4:07 as a junior.

madness. where did this come from? can we appreciate this is a kid who had a tennis ball size cancerous tumor removed from her abdomen along with a part of one lung when she was younger and yet shes still capable of running like this?! incredible. fastest miler two years in a row now.

I believe she's headed to NIKE Outdoor Nationals in Eugene....am told she's the #2 seed in the 800.....that could change.

An interesting note from that Indystar article; they quoted Sophia Kennedy (daughter of Bob Kennedy, I believe).

You are correct

Doesn't seem as though the young lady im question has run a 1 mile race. In fact, if you trust LRC for news of the sport, no US high school girl has run a mile this year. Plenty of boys have, but no high school girls' mile results have appeared here. Good result. Congratulations. Don't get why 'mile' keeps getting thrown around.

Oh boy can't wait to hyperfocus on every single thing she does for the next five years as I slowly take on a harsher and harsher tone despite no personal relation to her.
