It looks like it. The name looks familiar too...Edwin Soi...ever hear of that guy? I'm not particularly interested in whether he was 13 or 14 or 15 at the time, this guy is still around, and is still good, and I have no difficulty believing that he is about 25-26 years old now, so, there you have it, Edwin Soi ran 3:36 when he was 13 or thereabouts...

Yes, a "true" Kenyan "13 year old" ran 3:36.
I don't know the extent to which the age record web site is or is not believable, but Soi can obviously run a 1500 much faster than 3:44. His 3000 PR is 7:29 (i.e., 3:44 x 2 + 1 second) for goodness sake...perhaps he has not run 1500 as a senior athlete and his junior times were not taken into account on that one...?

For the love of evolution, can't we carbon date humans if we can carbon date dinosaurs?? The Kenyans are straight up just mocking the IAAF system now. Seriously.....13 yrs old...my nephew is 12 and I just can't see how this would be possible, any pics of this kid??
It was established on another thread that that age-record website is garbage and Soi's 1500 PB is actually 3:44 set in his 20's.
The age-group site is CRAP BUNK BULLSHIT, O.K.? Soi is a distance guy who NEVER ran anywhere close to 3:36. Period.

Rob was 17 when he ran his 3'45, while Jacob is still 16 yrs old. Give him another year and see what happens. And in the US we see these kids but many of them never have great collegiate careers and so we don't hype them up too much until they are in college.
Yeah it's hard to tell till they get boobs and their hips fill out.
Rob > Jacob. At everything from 100 to the marathon.
this is an impressive time for a sixteen year old and the best ever for that age for an American, so the kid's got a bright future and stands a great shot at being the next American sub 4 high schooler if he stays healthy, unlike See. Cheserek will of course break 4 easily but he is years older.
Seems like that boy's best record is 3min.46sec. when he was 20 years old.
'true Kenyan', Edwin Soi's best on 1500m is 3min.45Sec. WHEN HE WAS 19 YEARS OLD if the information on Wikipedia is correct.
USA has 10 million gun deaths per year. Compare that to Canada's. Then decide which country has a big problem.↲

3:45. Rob F'in Denault.
Or maybe because he is from Canada and we are talking about all-time great US milers. If you want that to count you should let us annex your piece of sheeet, America wannabe country as the 51st state.
