Mary left this one available. Will anyone go for it this season: Efraimson maybe?
She can't set NFHS records (since she's in eligible to compete for her school) and Track and Field News says they won't consider her a high school runner either. Who else keeps national high school records?

Depends on who's HS record list you want to call official.
Where did they say this? Not doubting you, I just haven't seen anything either way.

I've thought about that too, but isn't it different in that the NCAA is a league, whereas there isn't an equivalent high school league. Felix wasn't an NCAA athlete, whereas Cain is a high school student.

On the one hand, she's still enrolled in HS so not sure why they wouldn't count. On the other, i imagine Allyson Felix doesn't hold NCAA records through USC since she went pro.

Didn't she graduate early (as in, she's no longer enrolled in HS)?

Because they do. Webb went for it and got it, like Cain he didn't have the indoor 800 record, although he probably could have.

If she has the 800 and 1500/mile, why does anyone care about the 1000?
The editor said it in response to a letter concerning Mary and HS records. I should know, my father pulled it out to end an argument over who would count any records for her this year. Check the letters section in this months TnF NEWS.
