I am a 4:37 miler (I think I can go much faster, but I digress) and just ran a 6:20 mile at 12,000 feet. It was on my second attempt and my first, I made it about 0.2 miles at 4:27 pace before I had to stop. Granted 6:20 was maybe a little conservative and maybe I could have pushed for 5:45 (close to sea-level tempo pace) but it was NOT easy!
Not sure if anyone has developed a conversion for 12,000 ft, but I am going to go out in a limb and say that it takes a minute at least off your mile...

I made an app that tries to replicate NCAA conversions.
The NCAA only does conversions for tracks over 3000 feet altitude and they might be adjusting those track altitudes based on the current barometric pressure at a race but ignoring current air pressure the calculator *should* be within 1/100th of a second typically.
Please give feedback and tell me if it is helpful!
