Male/Female.
I see men's sprint records about 4% off. High jump 5.7%
Felix's 200 is only 3.6% slower than world record.
World Record mile = 3:43.13
Alan Webb's high school record = 3:53.43
Difference of 10.3 seconds. 10.3 / 223.13 = 3.19% slower
On the women's side, I think it is the 400m Hurdles
World Record = 52.34
Sydney McLaughlin's high school record = 54.15
Difference of 1.81 seconds. 1.81/52.34 = 3.46% slower
Sorry about the mile record. I took 10.3 / 323.13 by accident.
Sydney McLaughlin is still tops.
