running a mile under 6 is trucking, that's great news!
Not to make light of their times, but...my 15 yr old daughter runs a 5:50ish mile. She's a good runner, but not a great one. The winning times in 6A track are like 5:20.
Winning 6A HS boys run 4:25-4:35 range, so I'd assume a "slow" mile for a boy would be around 5:00.
Anyway, glad to hear they are working hard...
People who run track can put up better times than people who play basketball? Who woulda thunk it?
yeah, for Basketball players who don't typically engage in long-distance exercises--and particularly for a guy as big as Fitz, sub-6 is pretty dang good.
She ran those times as a friggin FRESHMAN IN HS. She's not a track athlete...she's a softball player. I sure wouldn't have thunk it...:woot
I think rivals got a hold of your daughter's track times.
NOOOO, she didn't even qualify for state. Man, the high-end girls can REALLY run it. Crazy fast.

I AM glad for him, but I think that shows you how out of shape he is. HE should easily be able to run a mile around 5 minutes...IF he's in shape. THAT'S the kind of shape the whole team should be in if they expect to be fresh at the end of a game...IMO
It is rather funny, I clicked on this link to hear about Capel's interview but somehow found myself reading about high school girls track times.
That's just simply not true! A lot of factors go into a mile runner, the most to which big pointed out, the guy is huge! Basketball players are use to short bursts of sprinting, not mile runs. They just don't train to run that great of a distance and just because a person is in shape doesn't mean they should be able to run a distance of a mile in a certain time. For Drew to have ran it that fast is great.
Cade is the only one that runs long distances on a regular basis, did he give Cade's time?
