haha flare12345neo, there a good group of 5-10 kids in high school that run under 9:00 for the 3200 and plenty more that run in the nine minute range. So 10:00 is a great time, but it still isn't elite.

tjan, don't lie, there is no school in the US that has 5-10 kids that run under 9 minutes in the 3200. The most I can think of is 2, maybe 3.

Some kid from a neighboring school has a 4:15 mile (he was slowing down in the final 100 also, because he had to save his energy for other events, this was County meet by the way) and he had a 1:52 split for his 800 (4x800 relay at Penn this year). He's only a junior too.

And then there's Doug Smith, Craig Foyrs, and other crazy NJ guys -_-

Pssh NJ has nothing on CA when it comes to running. The Hall brothers, the Mercado Twins, AJ Acosta, German Fernandez, Michael Cybulski, Jordan Hasay, Christine Babcock, the list goes on. Not to mention Jeff Nelson and his 8:36 3200 as a senior

Edit: I forget track! Bryshom Nellum (21 200m and 45 400m as a senior), Dominguez 3:12 4x4, Elias Gedyon (1:52 800m relay split as a FROSH), a girl from LB Poly who does a 54 400 as a freshman......

I could go on and on and on
