What is your high school's 3200/1600/800 records?

I think the boys' records were something like 9:48/4:26/1:56.

I know the girls' 3200 record was 10:06 and I know a kicker on our football team made a 67-yard field goal last night.

800- 1:56

1600- 4:21

3200- 9:36

4x800- 8:08

So pretty solid records I think

1:54

4:07

8:52

My bet is the 1600 and 3200 records are sticking around for a while.

800 - 1:53

1600- 4:15

3000- 8:28

3200- 9:07

A few may go down this year

1:58

4:24

9:30

I'd say, and while that by itself is believable, I call bs on the number of sub 9 and esp sub 850 times claimed here. I think my state record is still 90x, and it a fairly good fairly populous state.

Don't forget that there's a sort of bias in a thread like this as people whose schools had great records are more likely to remember them/want to brag about them. I'm sure there would be a slightly more normal distribution if every single Letsrunner looked it up.

Anyway, I'm about to somewhat disprove my own point because my school's records aren't quite as impressive (in a school of 3000 no less).

800- 1:54

1600- 4:17 (that one's been around since the mid-80s)

3200- 9:44

4 x 800- 7:58

Exactly my thoughts. I think something like 7 state records fell at Arcadia last year and only 2 were sub 8:50, and those just barely. And how many high schools are in each of those states? Either bs or some serious selection bias here.

1:52.xx

4:23.xx

9:12.xx

The mile is weak compared to the others.

9:07

4:14

1:53

3k steeple is 9:07, I believe.

1:53

4:15

9:26

I'm wondering about the number of people claiming 3200 records under 9:00 here.

I only know the 1600 and 3200

Girls:

1600: 5:11

3200: 10:56

Boys:

1600: 4:31

3200: 10:01

1:54.30 - 1984

4:11.96 - 1974

8:58.96 - 1978

1600 and 3200 times were converted. My high school's program was quite good back in the 70s/80s. The guy who holds the 3200 record still runs to this day, and pretty quickly too (15:34 for 5k at 52 I think).

Converted from the mile and two mile I mean.

800: 1:51.1 (1981)

1600: 4:20.28 (2004)

3200: 9:43.64 (2004)

Our distance records aren't that great, but that said, I'll bet our 100, 200, 400 records are as a whole better than any school in the nation. (10.0HT, 20.5, 45.17)

3200: 9:37

1600: 4:20

800: 1:53

All held by different people.

not that great? oh I forgot, cuz EVERYONE on the boards here is at least 1:51/4:20 guy.

3200- 8:41.1

Some of you might know the name of the 16 and 32 record holder.

He still races occasionally.

800 - 1:50.7

1600 - 4:09

3200 - 8:52

all in the last 3 years, 16/32 was one guy
