Any of you ever go to a College that had slower track records than your HS team
my college’s 800 record is 1:50 but my former HS’s record is 1:49, thought it was funny. Anyone else ever have the same?

high school 2 mile record was 9:01. college was 9:04. even the 3k record wasn’t 8:38 until this year.

That's not too unusual. We've seen high schoolers who run 3:34 for 1400 (equal 3:50 for 1600) and 13:37 in the 5k.
95% of college programs will never get those top recruits. Good luck developing a 4:49 miler into a 3:33 runner. Those programs also don't have enough scholarships to go the international route.
I would imagine that there are a lot of Division III women's teams that have records that are comparably slower than a lot of high schools (particularly the high enrollment schools).
A small D3 college has faster records than NAU in both the mile and 800.
When Hobbes Kessler ran his 3:34 that was faster than every college record in America. So we know his HS record is better than all the colleges in the country.
My own high school had a boy who ran 1:47 a few years ago. That was insane. My college's record (D3) was 1:49. But that is nothing to be ashamed of.
There are a lot of D3 schools with times slower than what an "elite" high school program probably has.
Funny thread. Just goes to show how slow many of the posters are.
