h.s. mile - freshman record question

High School Running History

16 years ago 04/07/2008 2:12pm EDT

Does anyone know the official h.s. boys freshman outdoor mile record? I looked into this and found confliciting answers:

S. Taye 4:09.69 2005

C. Miller 4:14.26 2003

A. Perkins 4:15.07 2005

The Nike Outdoor Nationals results usually lists the class records for each event. I've noticed that the 2006 and 2007 results pages list both Taye and Perkins as the freshman record holder. What's the deal there? Also, how come Perkins is listed as the record holder at 4:15 and there is no listing of Miller's 4:14? Miller's 4:14 was listed on the 2005 results.

Thanks to anyone who posts the right answer.

re: ztl2

im pretty sure perkins record was a full mile, millers was a 1600 and so was tayes, so taye has a superior time to perkins but since it was a 1600 they are both given

re: lllllllllllll

Who is S. Taye and where is he now?

What's his story?

re: umm

He's a senior in HS at a private school in Mass.

He's had success in XC sophomore and junior year, at least at FLNE and has managed to put up decent mile times the last few years. He seemed to do his best at the Maine public school his freshman year though. I believe he's had injury issues.

He did run the HS boys mile at BIG (Boston Indoor Games) a few months ago.

re: got it right

Thanks to all for responding to the post.

Here are the class records (as far as I know) for the h.s. boys 2-mile:

Taye's 9:01.68 is listed with an (m), so I am assuming that it is a 3200m mark and Hulst ran an instrinsically faster 2-mile:

I'd forgotten that Hulst ran a 9:04 as a freshman!!!!! If someone did that today, how much buzz would they generate?

re: dud3

Craig Lutz (TX) might get somewhere low down there.

He won the Texas Relays 3200 in 9:14.09, beating second place by 10 seconds.

Hopefully if he races Colby Lowe at Texas State in the 3200, Colby can help drag him to a sub 9:10 time, that is, if Colby's pace doesn't prove to be suicidal for him.

9:06.80 for 3200m to be exact in the 2005 Minnesota state meet.

re: ztl2

the junior record for 2 miles should be hulst's 8;44...ritz ran 8;42 for 3200 meters, ie 18+ meters short of 2 miles...does not make sense to me how it should be accepted when it is not the complete distance...
