Go look at the all the guys she beat today and you will see how damn many are sub 10 minute 2 milers and also good milers. Just for one example she beat Davis High # 5 guy senior Andrew Aposhian who is a 4:27xx miler and a 9:32.xx 2 miler!! None of us have seen a high school runner of this magnitude since maybe Webb ran his 3:53 mile. The Kenyan teens are gonna have their hands full with her.
"She's beating 9:30.xx 2 mile guys!"
v
"you will see how damn many are sub 10 minute 2 milers"
and
"...a 9:32.xx 2 miler!!"
I rest my case. Math is very, VERY hard.
was she in the boy's race?
there is some truth to her abilities, given her Mt. SAC performance. She's probably good for a 9:4X 2 miler right now.
Oh please, if he ran a slow time its because he said screw this stupid mud bog and mailed it in.
Get back to us when *she * runs a 427 or 932.
Making any judgement about anything bad on that course is foolish.
If you fall to grasp this, Go back and tell us how many other times she bested this guy when they ran on the same course.
Um...she beat Cain, who has run the equivalent of a 4:30 or so mile for the 1500. I think you may eat your words soon enough...sooner than u think.
Cain will take the 3200 record this spring. Sub9:40
a HS girl running sub 9:30 would be out of this world. IMO that would be ridiculous. Like a guy running 8:15 or something.
Cain and Baxter are such obvious drug cheats it is almost comical.
Picking out one particular individual whose time she bettered is idiotic. People have good/bad races. You might just as well pick out the slowest guy (2 mile time) who came in faster than her today.
A bit more realistic is that she would have come in 144th in the guy's race. Impressive no doubt. But not exactly earth shattering.
She came in at 1.12768 x (the time of the winning boy). Assuming that the top boys in this race will be at 8:40 - 8:45 (2 mile) this spring, this would translate into something like 9:46 - 9:52 for Baxter in the 2 mile. Again, very, very good but somewhat different than the impression that one might get from the headline, "She's beating 9:30.xx 2 mile guys!"
if she gets in a co-ed race (unlikely, especially at that distance in high school) similar to the cayla girl from massachusetts who ran the fast 10K, she could go under 9:40.

I'm not going to say she could or she couldn't but the subject of this thread is absurd and misleading.
I guess you could be right..
actually there is some truth to this thread..
Guys who run 16:00 at Mount Sac are very often Mid 9:40 guys.
Whether she runs that or not..she is an AMAZING talent that should be greatly appreciated. So fun to watch someone this good. Not only that, She said she takes 1 month off running after cross country season. She is not being over trained and has a fantastic future ahead.
Rio 2016 WATCH OUT
I'd say she could get the 5000 meters record this summer, but still don't know which 5k record for girls is the right one. It seems as if two leading websites have different holders of the 5k record.
The National Federation Record is 15:52 by Caitlin Chock.
The OVERALL National High School record is 15:48 by Emily Sisson. It does not count as the federation record because she ran it the summer after her senior year.
I didn't realize Baxter was that size (5' 89 lbs.) It will be extremely hard to maintain this low weight so her power-to-weight ratio will have to decrease.
I seen it happen to so many young girls (no names please). Ten additional lbs. doesn't sound like that big a deal but at this height it is.
Best of luck to Baxter who should have a very promising college career if the expectations aren't ridiculously high for her and she gets to chill out in the right program.
You are reading her freshman year stats.
She has since grown to 5'6 and is faster than ever.
lol he needs to watch the video. it is quite clear thatshe is over 5 foot.
