Today one of the oldest Wisconsin girl's state high school track records was broken - Suzy Favor's 800m record of 2:09.88, set in 1985. The new record holder, sophomore Cami Davre of Whitefish Bay, ran a 2:09.22, coming back after a 1600m victory just a short time before. Davre won the 1600 and 800 last year as a frosh, and is now half way to a 4 year sweep in the 1600/800 double.
Very, very impressive stuff! Love to hear about age old records getting broken.
2:09.88 wouldn't even qualify for the CA State Finals this year.

Look, I'm from the West myself, but the whole point is that it's a Wisconsin STATE record.
Breaking 2:10 while wading through two feet of snow is damned impressive. Credit where it's due.
there's only 5 million people in wisconsin. not 40million. they do ok.
I was a fast as Suzy Favor in HS...that surprises me. Never was as fast a Kelly Lundy, though. : (

I thought that would just be the state meet record but 2:09 is really as fast as she ever ran in high school. She was better at 1500 where she ran 4:18.

Uphill too!
The Wisconsin D3 Girls State Record was also broken -- by an Illinois resident. There is a Tri-Co-Op that has an Illinois school district about two miles from the border with two Wisconsin school districts. Kid ran 2:13.11
There is an old fart (maybe 67 or so) who runs on my running trail. He seems like a flake and runs with a Crocodile Diundee hat. About 50 years ago he ran 1:48 as a prep on crappy cinder track. I think he ran on 4x 400 relay which was national record. I am not too impressed with 2:09.

I am almost certain 2:09 is not the record, I watched SFH run 2:12 at age 14. Sounds like 2:09 is the federation record I think SFH ran 2:04 in high school.
Her HS Hall of Fame lists her school record as 2:09.88.
