No, he is not that fast. I broke a five minute mile comfortably in High school, and no one would have considered me for a scholarship. Most of the fast guys were deep into the low fours, at least in Texas.

- tyingq 9y agoYes...I did mean "good", not absolute top level. You would have to find 26 sub 4:30 mile runners to tie or win. To put that in perspective, your pool would have to be from the top 160ish high school 1600m runners in Texas: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Division/Event.aspx?DivID=82027&Gender=M&Event=52 https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Division/Event.aspx?D... There are 3,709 high schools in Texas, so that means most of the high schools wouldn't even have a contender for this lopsided competition.
