Chelsea Sveinsson in Reebok 1500

[BCBaroo]

She's undefeated. She has the fastest high school mile in the country. She's running with the big girls this weekend. And she doesn't have Rapunzellian hair.

Should be fun to watch if she can hang close.

(I'm assuming she's the "Nicole" on the start lists)

"fastest mile" is a bit misleading when you consider that Hasay has a pair of 1500s that equate to about 10 seconds faster. (and Amanda Winslow has a marginally faster 1600)

Well, yes... there's that.

Not bad. Looks like Jordan has company.

I'm starting to have second thoughts about 4:10, although I do think it may take a 4:12 to settle the campaign for #1 HSer this year in this event.
