What do you guys think is the upper limit for any average hs runner throughout 4 years? (what is the fastest time any hs kid can run with proper training)

The only limit is your mind.
I improved over 1 minute from my first timed mile in freshman XC (5:35) to my last mile in senior track (4:28). I’m sure there are better.
Didn’t Jim Ryun run like a 5:30 mile his freshman year? The infamous “ugly duckling” mile?

5 seconds per year is the average. One minute through high school is possible but some kids never run faster than their freshman year.
