I hope you aren't mocking 1A schools....

I doubt your ass would even qualify.

You must still be in high school yourself. 12.19 100M, 25.03 200M, and 121' discus. The average high school boy can't match any of that, some above average ones can match one of them, and a few football players could probably do all three. I'll bet she could run you down and then beat you down while you are huffing and puffing. Only losers make comments like yours.

Uncle Fester-

You should probably do a little research before making those kind of comments. I ran track in high school, almost 30 years ago, in Class 1A. Distance was still measured in feet then, not meters. It changed during my junior year. That being said, in comparable distances, I ran the 220 yd. dash in just over 23 seconds. I ran the 100 yd. dash in just over 11 sec. I high jumped 6'1". None of those feats qualified me for state, and that was 30 years ago. The the only thing that got me to state was running a 440 yd. dash in 46 seconds. Once I got to state, that time was only good enough for third place.

This is no way trying to belittle her accomplishment! What she did, she can be very proud of. My statement is only directed to these other comments!

Times must have been tough 30 years ago. A little research shows me the 2008 high school track records. Your 46 second time in the 440 translates to about 45.7, about 1.6 seconds faster than the 2008 time. You might have even won the 100 and 200 in Iowa with those times. In addition, this site says that the world boys high school record for the 400M is 44.69 set in 1982, which would mean that your 46 second time in the 440 which qualified you for state 30 years ago would have been close to the world high school record at that time. Pardon me if I find that a little hard to believe. Would you happen to be exaggerating a little?

I stand by comments that her times are better than the average high school boy today referring to who I replied to, who I believe to be a below average middle or high school boy.

Fester-

I don't care too much if you don't believe me. I didn't exaggerate as I still have the medal from state, with the time etched on the back. Maybe your research resources are incorrect. It does happen. Like I said, makes no difference to me, I know what I know because I did it. Believe me or not, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Have a nice day.
