<p>what would a high school junior need to run in the 800m to be looked at and/or be considered?</p>
<p>This is not a direct answer to your question but you can find the times for recent trackmeets on the web site. Here’s one from last March: 800m - Chris Coleman, 2nd, 1:56.29 ; Justin Spring, 4th, 1:59.65</p>
