1500/1600/Mile Conversion Error??

[bad hammy]

The current issue of T&FN has Christine Babcock's 4:33.82 1600 converting to a 4:35.41 mile and Jordan Hasay's 4:14.50 1500 converting to a 4:38.06 mile. The online converter I've been using ( http://www.milesplit.us/calc ) agrees with the Babcock conversion, but has Hasay's 1500 converting to a 4:34.78, good for the best all-time for the combined 15/16/mile. Is the online calc that far off, or was there an error down in Mountain View??

The BGB conversion is 1.0058, 1600 to Mile, and 1.08 1500 to Mile so that would make the times

Babcock 4:33.82 = 4:35.41'
Hasay 4:14.50 = 4:34.86'

The T&FN conv is off by their standards. The on-line calc is in the ballpark.

Nice, putting Hasay at the top of the all-time combined list, ahead of the 4:35.24 mile by Polly Plumer in 1982.

That milesplit calculator is exactly what has been generally accepted for at least 50 years.
