That's great but, she hasn't passed my "has she been to prom" rule. I do well by in recruiting by not judging high school girls until after they've been to a prom. This is normally spring junior year, but can be sophomore or freshman year for girls who mature early. In general, this works out well.
At the risk of sounding sexist, it's best not to judge the potential of a female runner until she has successfully navigated puberty
. It's called the sophomore slump for a reason.
What about the sophomore who just ran 4:16 in the 1500 last week at USA Juniors? Kate Murphy.
Vashti Cunningham 6-4 high jumper daughter of famed NFL quarterback Randall, also has a brother at USC who just finished his freshman year jumped about 7-3 in high school, also Kate Hall a 22-5 long jumper though she just finished high school.
Also 8th grader Tia Jones won high school hurdles nationals in a 2.3 wind aided race, wind aside she beat all the nations best high schoolers as an 8th grader.
USA is loaded at the high school/junior level.
This is the deepest, most competitive period in us high school t&f in a very long time. Start paying attention!

Did you even watch the Prefontaine Classic or USA's? Ryen Frazier and Kate Murphy, respectively tearing it up, and that's just in the 1500m/mile.

How about 2016?
The only athlete she has ever lost to in a 400 meter hurdle race is Shamier Little, who is currently ranked number one in the world. Btw, when she lost to Shamier, Sydney was only 14 years old. If she gets some competition at World Youths, If she gets pushed to the finish line, I would not be surprised to see her go sub-55 at World Youths.

I second this.
52.69 400 PR
2:04.27 800 PR
And just finished sophomore year in HS. Her coach said that she is aiming for sub 2 in the 800 next year.
How about
Destiny Collins and Fiona Okeefe
Destiny 9:53.79 for 3200 as a junior... leading the number 2 xc team in the country Great Oak (number 1 for distance track)
Fiona Okeefe 10:00.85 for 3200m
Sub 9:45 is very likely IMO.
