Huge schooler yes, but could be 20 years old since she's Kenyan. This is not a knock on their questionable ages, but the point being she may have chosen to attend school in Japan to better her education and at the level she was in, she was accepted.

Etir is the talent to watch. Ran 13:00/27:06 last track season. Wonder what he focuses on in an Olympic year.

she could well be 20. That's still a really good time for a 20 year old. Basically a world class time at a distance where cumulative miles logged counts for much more than youthful speed.

Except when he's right. In this case, he's right. She's 20+

Yes my point exactly. While perhaps it does not or should not count as a record, her level of prior education put her in high school and having the opportunity to advance academically where so many cannot, I applaud her and wish her all success in both athletics and life.
It's not uncommon for a Kenyan family of 10-12 kids to have no one or perhaps only a few get to high school due to financial struggles. We take many things for granted here.

She is older than the current U20 record holder was at the time she ran,
1:06:47, Degitu Azimeraw, who was 19 years and 16 days old.61 -

She could still be a highschooler. A lot of Kenyan students study in Japan at their sports high schools. Some take longer to graduate due to language and other academic difficulties.

Don't waste your time on these people. In a few generations they won't matter. Their civilisation has passed its peak and they don't even care because they're trapped by their stubbornness and won't change. This is reflected in their unchangeable self-image and narcissism, necessarily so for them to survive. It is exactly that that will diminish them into a corner and eventually to nothing.

The high schooler is not going to date you no matter how much you defend her online. Put your tongue back in your mouth and get back to work.
