Even sub 4:20 runners are super rare if you're just looking in some local area. Odds of anything below 4:15 would be so small lol. And even if someone whos PR is 4:15 would probably still run 5-10 seconds slower in this event

WTF?! The kid is like 10 and did a 5:50.... 7:30 6:50 At 1209m, he is at 4:27 (Banged out the last 400m in 1:23) He should be a 4:10 guy by graduation...full scholarship incoming. Gotta be stellar for his age in the 8 & the 4 (probably the 200, too). ...or he is 13 & really short, LOL.
Great event! Everyone there made it look so graceful I gotta say it looks like a trot, but in actuality you all are basically sprinting. Running a 4 min kilometer is hardwork, let alone a MILE.
That was fun. I hope the kids that attend that school realize how fortunate they are to have a stadium, an awesome track and turf field. They are blessed.
I ran track in high school 40 years ago and I still don't understand how a human being can run a half mile in 1:42... haven't run much since but you've inspired me to start training again. Thank you.
Tf, I can barely run a 9 minute mile, *everyone* in the comments can apparently run a 4 and a half minute mile lmao *edit: just ran a 7:15 :) I'm gonna aim for 5 lol
7 is a pretty decent time, these people are actual runners. I’d keep that 7 minute but make sure you can keep that pace for 3-5 miles and it would be pretty safe to say you’re a healthy person. Most people can’t even run a 9 minute mile.
