Wrong. Ajee' Wilson was 19 in 2013 (birthdate is 5/8/94) when she ran 1:58.21. When she was 18, she ran 2:00.91, which was her pr. Efraimson is 18 and her pr is now 2:01.13 and surely will go faster with faster competition this year. Whether she then breaks through to 1:58 and 1:57 the next couple years, like Ajee' did, is uncertain, but she has a good shot at Cain's age 18 best of 1:59.51 from Prefontaine.

re: Stop Alexa

Cranny should have gone pro and kept training with her coach in CO. Milt is going to ruin her.

Actually, better idea... Fire Milt and hire her HS coach.

re: Fact checker

Not true? I was so far off I wasn't even wrong!

Besides the obvious -- Wilson, Decker and Gallagher -- who else did I forget about?

Talk about screwing the pooch.

re: Fact Check This!!!

Well, we will see! Track and Field News, the new socialist movement, will undoubtedly block Alexa from this list. Old fu#&@%$!

800 METERS

1:59.51 *Mary Cain (Bronxville, New York) 2013

2:00.07 Kim Gallagher (Upper Dublin, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania) 1982

2:00.91 Ajee’ Wilson (Neptune, New Jersey) 2012

re: Nothingproven

I love how this NCAA coach is clinging to a 4-7 year window. So, if Alexa makes 3 world teams in the next 4 years, then and only then the real debate can happen. Yikes.

Alexa may have just answered all of the questions about going pro. If we examine the NCAA lists as they sit now:
800m Run
Alexa Efraimson SR High School 2:01.13
1 Goule, Natoya SR-4 Clemson 2:01.32
2 Williams, Chrishuna SR-4 Arkansas 2:01.61
3 Rogers, Raevyn FR-1 Oregon 2:01.67
1500m Run
Alexa Efraimson SR in High School 4:09.43
1 O'Connor, Leah SR-4 Michigan State 4:11.04
2 Houlihan, Shelby SR-4 Arizona State 4:11.06
3 Quigley, Colleen JR-3

Chrishuna Williams is one to watch, she ran her first 800 in 2014, and had been a 52 seconds for 400 runner, this is her first year at 800, so maybe at NCAA or USATF she can go under 2.

What does this have to do with Alexa? Ajee is a phenomenal runner and this site is full of her fans however I would say that she ought to get more recognition. However part of the reason she is not spoken about as much is because she, herself is understated and not a big self-promoter. Anyway Alexa's main event is not the 800 it is the 1500. This is why her new PR is such a big deal. She ran a world class time in an event that is not her primary one. As good as Ajee is, I'm not sure she'd be able to break, I don't know 4:15 in the 1500.

Ajee is a 400/800 type.

That's right, I was trying to make the point that Alexa is world class in two different events however i was doing a poor job of it. The reality is that Ajee might be one of the best 800 m runners right now or at least top 8? Can't really say the same of Alexa however perhaps in a few years. I wonder if Ajee's 400 time is as close to world class as Alexa's 800 m time is? Both these events are similarly secondary events for both runners.
