Because this is an internet forum.
Alana Hadley ran 18:12 road race when she was 11.
Impressive. We have a kid here in Colorado by the name of Tyler Scholl who was running a bit faster up here at altitude when he was 10. At age 13 he's running mid to high 16s.
Of course there are faster but these youngsters are still amazing.
Solid, but would be surprised if the single-age record isn't quite a bit faster. Some of those times blow me away.
I heard Billy Orman paced him!

If you read down to the bottom of that link, you find the following:
"ROAD RACES
Times from road races are not included, with the exception of the marathon."
The 5000m times on the list are all track times. Using this list to evaluate road 5Ks is apples to oranges.
Ummm...Jordan Hasay ran 17:05 when she was 8 years old.
5000m world record 17:41 set by Eric Hansen of Denmark in 1983.
I heard of this. Great run for any youngster but isn't he actually 11 yrs old?
Tyler Scholl: 15:45 5k at age 10 in the Grand Junction Monument 5k. 4:59 mile at age 9
I have run against little Tyler and his family members. Have to say that I can no longer beat Tyler. The 15:45 sounds faster than he seems capable of. Was that downhill or something?
Anyways most of these kids (like the Roberts family in Lyons, CO) have started running at very young ages. The good ones will be top runners all the way through HS. By college they blend right in and are no longer exceptional runners.
My take on it is that any runner that will end up running around low 9's for 2 miles should be able to run about an 18 minute 5k by the age of 10 or 11. This probably seems fast given the decline in local 5k's over the last thirty years.
It is fun to watch the careers of this young runners. You have to also hope they don't burnout and quite before the end of their HS years.
Years ago I ran a hilly 5k in the mid-18's. Felt pretty good about it until a friend-- a guy named Wetmore--told me that a 6th grader beat me by a minute. A kid named Hudson.
I ran with Eric Hansen at BU in '88. Had no idea he the world age record though. He went on to win the NCAA 5K too.
