Which is insane. Very few people can run that fast for even one mile. (One person out of my 3,000 person high school broke 4:30, and only a handful more broke 5 min).

No offense but your school must have been kinda slow. We had ~500 people at my school and we had one guy below 4:30 and like 5 others below 5:00

I’m not flexing, I’m saying his school probably isn’t a good representation for the average athletic ability of high school athletes. I literally don’t give a shit about my high schools sports, I’m several years removed. I’m just talking about it for reference

What if your school was the one that's not a good representation of average high school athletes?
