Put an asterisk next to Burns’ time to note it was run with super shoes. Rupp is still better and the true record holder.
Rupp ran that mark as a high school graduate on the elite pro circuit. Also, by then he was already SaladBar's little science fair project. His advantages pretty much balance out the technological ones enjoyed by Burns. Now sit down before your arthritis acts up and eat your soup, I'm guessing you're a boomer from your resentment of these here newfangled fancy-pants jim-jams the young whippersnappers got on them feets.

Both ran their times against pros, and both had access to high level training info. Only significant difference is the shoes.
Your generation is soft. You need major technology advances to run a fraction of a second faster than your predecessors ran two decades ago, and then you celebrate it as if you’re better. I’d laugh if you weren’t so pathetic.
Will the 2023 High School Mile Champion be crowned at The HOKA Festival of Miles?
Any way to get Junior Daniel Simmons into that race, based off his incredible Arcadia 3200m performance?
On Saturday, Simmons won his state’s 1600m in 4:07.51, the day after winning his state’s 3200m in 8:49.05. These races were in Provo, UT; the altitude conversion times are ~4:01 & ~8:36.
They really should be at this event tbh unless they have something good the next week. Missing a huge race here
You only have one prom.
I agree. They're taking multiple shots in fast races; if they miss one for a different experience it's not a big loss for their racing. There might even be other fast 5,000s for them. It's a big gain for their (ugh, I hate this phrase and used to hate it more) high school experience.
I was someone who had to be more-or-less dragged to prom (wasn't planning anything else that day, just didn't see the point). Absolutely no regrets, for going or for being that kind of person at that time. Fortunately I had friends who would drag me there, and not for social conformity reasons, but because they knew I'd genuinely enjoy it with them.
I also ran 10 miles that afternoon before coming home to shower and otherwise get ready. Good times all around.

you do know he ran it at a non high school race right. fool.
fool ? the point is still fair. the twins shouldn't be elevated above the rest of their class when nothing they have done this year is heads-and-shoulders above guys like Burns, Hansen, Birnbaum, Gorze, Sahlman etc. Maybe an argument can be made for Leo's U-20 cross performances, but idk after tonight
Leo’s XC performances plus his 3:39 make him look like a sub 13:30 guy waiting to happen

Which is funny because old geezers thought Rupp was soft because he had the private coach and the whole pro set up as a high schooler.

It's not the shoes, US distance running has just not been that good historically, especially during Rupp's era. I say this as someone from the US.
