The wr for 15 year olds has been changing a lot lately lol
8:09.68 Sam Ruthe november 20th 2024
8:07.29 Kain Inagaki october 15th 2024 (since this was prior to ruthe's 8:09.68, Ruthe's time was technically not a record but I saw it listed as it several places. Some of these Japanese times seems to be published pretty slow/late)
8:06.56 Sam Ruthe december 14th 2024
(Prior to that it was 8:13.4 by Hansjorg Kunze (1975), 8:12.82 Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen (2021), 8:11.12 by Youta Mashiko (2022))
Will we see a sub-8 by a 15-year old soon?

Ruthe doesn’t turn 16 till April so he could come very close if he hasn’t peaked for the season yet.

Marcelo Mantecon's 8:50 2M last Spring (probably was 15 at the time) converts to 8:10.7.

Blast from the past - Hanjörg Kunze - is a running friend of my dad from the old days. He had a successful career as a runner, way past his junior records.

How are there no 15yo Kenyans or Ethiopians who have run faster?

Was well under 8 minute pace at 2km. Last 100m took him 20 seconds!! Still an amazing performance.

There pretty much are, iaaf profiles seem to be offline, but from memory Jacob Kiplimo ran like 13.13 for 5kms around the same age and sub 8mins for 3000m. Those ratified age records don't include East Africans.

I'm pretty sure he was 13 or 16 when he did it actually, check his World athletics profile when it comes back up.

No offense intended to anyone here but Jacob Kiplimo ran a 10000m race at age 15 in which he averaged 8:13.85 per 3000m.

I did not see the previous posts referring to him.

Kiplimo ran 13:19 at age 15.

Abreham Cherkos (ETH) is list with 7:43.00 as a 15-year old and 7:32.27 as a 16-yeard old. Insane if true, but his age might be incorrect. He did 7:31.81 at age 19, and 12:54.19 at age 16 (still U18 WR). He never improved upon his 12:54.19. Selemon Barega is 2nd at the U18 all time list with 12:55.58.
You will find several sub-8min performances by East African 16 year olds, and some by 15-year olds. (No sub-8min performances by 14 year olds as far as I know)

Is that true? Did he fall? I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that without falling, being hurt/jogging, or stumbling in on jelly legs.
