Yes, amazing and do wonder if she had someone to push her and didn't have to go to the second lane to lap runners continuously.
I assume she's qualified for the USATF Championships in June, so she'll have good competition there. Reminds me a bit of Jordan Hasay when she was in HS.
A 4:47 is an outstanding time for a high school runner, not to mention a sophomore, but they are getting so fast these days.
Her 5000m time predicts a much faster mile. A few years ago in the local league meet, three girls ran 4:47 for 1600 meters. The winner went to a national power and is now longer listed on the roster. The second finisher, who holds two national high schools records is a sophomore at the same national power and isn't competing at this time, but is listed on the roster The third runner, who was overshadowed by the first two is still competing. Running fast times at an early age and competing too often is often like "falling off a cliff". Observing this quite often is what makes "CH posters look prescient".
hope she steps back & rests soon, and rebuilds for outdoor track while sticking to a more traditional high school schedule (i.e., done with the season by their state meet in June).
