What is kinda unusual? I don't understand your comment. The USA high school record for the female 1500 m event 4:04.62, set on May 17, 2013, by one Mary Cain of Bronxville, NY, in an event at Eagle Rock, CA. It would take something like another 18 seconds to get to 1609 meters at that pace. That's just the USA. Let's look at the World Under-18 records: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_under-18_bests_in_athletics#Girls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_under-18_bests_i... 3:54.52, by a Ling Zhang in China, in 1997. Not sub-4 pace. She was 16 + 188 days old. Not sure where you got 3:34 from; maybe you are looking at a boys' table? A 17-year-old Australian named Cameron Myers hit 3:33.26 in 2023, in Poland. We saw a new women's 1500 m record just this month. 31-year-old Kenyan Faith Kipyegon ran it 3:48.68 on July 5, in Eugene, OR. Note that it it was still 15 seconds slower than the boy. It's about a 4:05 mile pace.
