Wow that's a nice delayed improvement after 11th grade and in college. I bet in 11th grade you had no idea you'd run the equivalent of a 4:08 mile in college.
8th Grade - 5:14 mile, 1:34 660 yds
9th Grade - no running
10th Grade - 4:52 mile
11th Grade - 4:42 mile, 10:08 2 mile, had to always double 1 & 2 mile.
12th Grade - done with running in high school.
7th: 5:24
8th: 4:59
9th: 4:50
10th: 4:41
11th: 4:37
12th: TBD
10--4:52
11-4:41
12-4:31
Fresh..4:15 1500
Soph...4:09 1,500
