NY state meet girls 1500.....4:17

Wow, I said it this morning in another thread, it is a shame they arent in the Dream Mile today, but these times will probably be more impressive than what we see from the girls race at the DM.

1 Mary Cain 9 Bronxville-2 4:17.84

2 Aisling Cuffe 12 Cornwall-1 4:19.83

3 Courtney Chapman 12 Fay.-Manlius-1 4:23.01

4 Kelsey Margey 11 Harborfields-1 4:23.82

5 Samantha Nadel 11 North Shore-1 4:25.59

6 Rachel Paul 11 Sachem East-1 4:27.88

7 Emily Waligurski 10 Onteora-2 4:33.51

8 Gabby Cuccia 11 Roy C Ketcham 4:34.01

9 Abbie Benson 12 Iroquois-1 4:34.44

10 Elizabeth Predmore 11 Shenendehowa-1 4:34.57

11 Jillian Fanning 10 Fay.-Manlius-1 4:35.08

12 Leah Triller 9 Holy Names-2 4:36.96

13 Lauren Fontana 11 St. Anthony's-1 4:37.45

14 Holly Cavalluzzo 10 Valley Central-1 4:37.97

15 Katie Lembo 9 Penfield-1 4:38.60

Would her time 4:17 be a freshman national record? Does anyone know?

Not to be a Debbie Downer but being a fast freshman girl is uncorrelated (or even inversely related) to future performance. Great time but don't get too excited.

Per Dyestat, it's a freshman record by 3 seconds and No. 7 all-time high school.

US#1 4:17.84 1500 for Bronxville frosh Mary Cain, beating frosh USR by 3+ seconds and #7 all-time. Cornwall Central sr Aisling Cuffe 4:19.83 (completing great double) in 2nd, while two more break 4:24 and six total under 4:28. In two heats, 15 girls run 4:37 or better.

Actually the correlation is excellent.

She was a tiny 7th grader, but I think she is taller now. She is really really fast 2:05 split and 55 open 400.

what world do you live in?

Four girls under 4:24 is just sick.

Is there a video of this race, or description of how it progressed?

She is progressing really nicely (obviously), terrific girl, with a first class coach who delivers healthy runners to top schools. All-around athlete, swim, soccer, etc.

Actually the correlation is pretty good. Freshgirls who can run the equivalent of a sub-5:00 mile are much, much more likely to run well in the future, compared to frosh who can't break 10:00 for a mile.

Anyone know her exact age? For Team USA for World Youth, she'd have to be born in 94 or 95. Someone told me they think she's a tad too young (born in 96). Hasay was 2nd in '07 WY Champs with 4:17.24.

Here's something on Bronxville's coach, Jim Mitchell, from a few years ago. http://ny.milesplit.com/articles/24400

AMAZING, Wow! That is INSANE!

So in a year he graduated three members of his 4x800m relay it will be intersting to see how the Broncos do next year. With Henrietta Miers returning, a 2:12 relay runner, and yougsters Mary Cain and Amelia Phillips a year stronger, if there is one thing you can count on, it's that the Bronxville 4x800 will once again be one the best in the country.

If she was returning in 2009, how can she still be in 9th grade?

A freshman (with 55,2:05,9:28 credintials)runs 4:17 and beats Aisling Cuffe for the state title and you say not to get excited!?!? Why not? Should we just dismiss her because you want to play guessing games about her future? Your not a debbie downer, your a hater!

I would love for my HS boy freshmen to have those credentials Hell Id love for my juniors to be as fast
