Fastest total time for HS boy and girl milers

by school (any year) or same year?

1600, 1600 converted, or mile? Same for 2 mile.

My high school had a 4:11.8 (1600) boy and a 4:22.3 (1500) girl. Converted to full mile that would be 4:13.2 and 4:43.2 for a 8:56.4 total. However the record surely belongs to the Bronxville high coach. 4:09.1 for the boys and freaking 4:04.6 (1500) for girls. Convert that to mile and you have 4:24.1 and a total of 8:33.2. Camas has very good records, I believe 4:08.1 and 4:07.0 (1500) which converts to 4:26.7 for a total of 8:34.8. Lake Braddock has had a 4:07.2 (1500) and 4:09.8 (1600) which converts to 4:26.9 and 4:11.3 for an 8:38.2 total. I don't believe anybody else is under 8:40, but a quick search reveals quite a few teams that sit in the 8:40s-8:50s. It's very hard to get under 8:40, because there's such a huge gap between the top girls times and an elite girl (sub-4:50 is an elite time but there are multiple girls breaking 4:30, whereas for guys, sub-4:10 is an elite time but the top guys are barely under 4:00, with the exception of Ryun and Webb).

Wow, 4:38.5 narrows it down to one person. Was it Debbie Heald?

I have a total of 9:11

4:14.x + 4:56.x

Haven't really coached in 40 years but back in the day I coached an 18-year-old boy who ran 4:08.8 and a 16-year-old girl who ran 4:38.5. Adding those together we get 8:47.3. Likely there are HS coaches who have kids whose combined times are lower. Curious where 8:47.3 would rank.

The 4:38 is really fast. The combined time of 8:47 is going to be tough to beat. I was looking at the all time lists for boys and girls to see if any of the fastest ran at the same school but did not see any. But the fastest mile times listed were no slower than 4:00. Still, that 4:38 is really fast for a girl.

Yes, it was Debbie Heald. She was in my fourth and fifth grade classes. We started a girls team when she was in the sixth grade. I coached her until she was 19. The race is on YouTube.

Josh Evans 4:04 and Stephanie Jenks 4:42 for a combined 8:46. This was only a few years ago and sadly, she went to Cal and stopped running and he transferred from Iowa State to Colorado Mines and hasn't equaled his HS times.

Is this during a coaching career or same year?

Beat this stat. Same year same HS. 2014, Linn Mar High School. He was 5th in country behind only Otoole, Fisher, Haney, and Maton. She was 3rd behind only Feeny and Rainsberger. Impressive for a school in the middle of Iowa. Home state of Schweizer and Houlihan. Actually, the Schweizers may be the fastest brother sister duo to compete at the same time. He ran 4:05.1.

You obviously have access to the internet as you posted here.

Look it up moran.

3:51 + 4:32 for 1500m that might be right around the 9 min mark or over for two miles

Isaac Cortes 4:04, Destiny Collins, 4:40 - both 1600.

Not as fast as Evans as Jenks. I always enjoy these challenges by posters. They ask who the fastest x is but people will keep right on posting.

not a coach but my high school teammates ran 4:00 and 4:58 in the same year so sub 9 combined total

Webb's hs is ~8:46

Girls 1600 record is 4:52.64

redwood HS, California 2018

Liam Anderson 4:09 1600m

Gillian Wagner 4:46 1600m

Total: 8:55

Rockford HS, Michigan 2018

Cole Johnson 4:08 1600m

Erika Vanderlende 4:45 1600m

Total: 8:53

they didn't run the same year, but Glenbard West HS in IL has:

1974 Bill Fritz 4:06 1600m

2018 Katelynne Hart 4:43 1600m

Total: 8:49

That's all fine and dandy, but the guy who coached Heald and the 4:08 guy were running the full mile, not 1600m.
