Cain 9:02!!!

Ok, it's official now. 9:02.10.

Is that the HS record? I can't find the HS records anywhere. I know up until 2005,Melody Fairchild had the record at 9:17.7.

Where can i find indoor and outdoor high school records?

Its definitely the record, and if this is indoors, she will definitely go sub 9:30 2 miles outdoors. Crazy stuff! We're talking a junior who can already win boys meets in many states.

3000 meters???

15 second improvement on the record.

This girl is the greatest talent ever, i think its safe to say now! She could win boys state meets.

Coolrunning puts it at 4:50 pace per mile.

The indoor record for the girls mile is 4:38.5.

womens jr world champs was won in 9:08 last yr

Mary Cain now has a faster indoor 3K PR than Jordan Hasay.

And faster than Abbey D'Agostino. Though I think she can run about 8:50 this season (not that Cain can't in a month or two...)

Wow

Won't count as record because of oversize track.

She has the tools to go sub 4:30 for the mile before her high school career ends, if not this year!

It's "states meets". And you must have a really crappy state if the winner runs 9:30.

INCREDIBLE!!! National Indoor record by 15 seconds!!!

Doesn't that convert to a 9:42 3200?!?!?!?!?!?! That would put her 6 seconds under the outdoor record.... in early January!!

What a time for girls US distance running. Cain and Baxter are both still juniors!!

That time would probably remain in the top 5 of the NCAA rankings for the entire season! and it's so early! Who's to say she won't lower that time even more. She now has a faster 3k PR than Jordan Hasay. That time is only 2 seconds slower than what NCAA champ Emily Infeld ran last year!!

her 1500 of 4:11 time equates to about a 4:28, so she has already done that.

Is she the one being trained by Alberto Salazar?

9:02.06 official. How fast can she go? 8:50?! It's her first indoor race of the season... and she beat Erdmann who is VERY VERY good in her own right.

For perspective, last year she ran a 3k at the Yale Invitational and lost to Samantha Nadel and Haley Pierce, running 9:48.

She has improved 46 SECONDS in a year...her strength is improving rapidly. The sky is truly the limit for this one
