If you made you HS 4x800 relay team would it be far to say "I was a pretty good HS runner?"

Yes, very far!
As fair as saying you were pretty good at basketball if you made the team of 12.

Um...no. All that means is that you were the 4th best on your team. SOME teams suck. I've seen HS boy 4x800 relay teams that couldn't break 12 minutes. Assuming all equal in talent there, none of them were "pretty good" high school runners.
What would be the threshold metric for the phrase pretty good HS runner?
There's only 5 boys on my indoor team that can run the 800. I'm #5 at 2:25 and I run 4x800
For the 800:
Sub-1:51: elite
1:51-1:53: sub-elite
1:53-1:56: very good
1:56-2:00: quite good
2:00-2:05: good
2:05-2:10: fair
