Because there is correlation. Take a math class.

he probably wants to see awesome progression stories. i.e. Brian Sell. Jo Schmo ran 10:30 in high school but can run 14:30 as a college junior, inspirational stuff like that.

2/10 Probably just took a Statistics 101 class
A buddy of mine ran 9:29 for 3200 and then 14:31. I think he had better than 9:29 in him (?9:18?) but that was all he needed to win that race. He was kind of slow twitch and a week later he ran 4:21 for 1600 but then bonked in the 3200. He never could double.
9:42/14:19 but was primarily an 800/1600 guy in high school. Ran 1:57/4:21 in high school so probably could have been somewhere around 9:20 if I trained for and primarily raced the 3200. Became more distance oriented in college and had good 5k/10k PRs, but my 800/1500 PRs were weak.

I'm interested in knowing what kind of 3200 runners can progress to that level. I'm guessing around 9:20 is most common. 14:35 is 70 per lap. After 4 years a 9:20 guy should be at least 14:35.
9:58
14:13
I was pretty pleased.
10:09 3200
4:41 1600
Ran 8:46 for 3Km (so about 9:20s low then)? Trained pretty hard to do that (i.e. 50-70mpw of pretty high intensity).
14:29 in college (indoors at Penn State leading wire to wire). Always felt I typically underperformed in the 5km and I never could put it together very well. Something about running right at 100% of Vo2max for minutes on end like that..
8:59 High School
14:01 College
Of the 14:30 guys I ran with (or at least the four I can think of), only one of them surely broke 10 in high school. They were a pretty wide range - one was low 9's, one was high 9's/low 10's (but had a 4:20ish mile), the other two were low 10's and like 4:40 in the mile.
But it was a D3 school so kind of by default nobody was great in high school, and anyone who ran mid-14's had to improve a lot to get there so it is a biased sample.
9:37.30
9:07 3200m in high school, though I was injured my senior year.
13:54 5000m my fifth year of college.
I got this.
HS 3200: 10:25.
5k PR: 14:37.
And yeah, I had a full HS "career" of 11 seasons. I just sucked. I think that was my motivation to get better.
HS 3200m: 9:44
College 5k: 13:57, so far.
he said SUB-14:30 guys. You don't make the cut, poser.
5000m: 14:24 XC
3200m: 8:34
1600m: 4:00
I've run 13:57. My high school time was 9:52
