Lancers lead the way!
Serena Clark is going to Cuba this weekend on the NSAF team to represent the selected prep athletes from all over the USA. Wow! What an honor
Was it a reputable timing company
Excellent run for young Ms. Clark. New Cincinnati area record.
Not so fast, JAVMAN, I believe that one of the criteria to count as a record is that it has to be done in a high school only race.
I don't see that anywhere in your "rules", and if it were you'd have to pull a few of the records on your list, starting with Doug Bockenstette's 5K record. Notably it would exclude from consideration any record set at USATF/IAAF Juniors.
If I recall correctly, there was a kid who graduated from Walnut Hills. I think his name was Tom Walsh who got DQed at the National Junior Olympics for being in college while running in the Young Men's Division (17-18 years old). He started college at age 17.

That's perfectly understandable. Once a kid starts college or goes pro, they're no longer eligible for HS lists.
OVTC told me it wasn't Walsh nor was it JO. It happened in the 1960s and it was Junior Champs not Junior Olympics
