National Indoor Middle Distance USA High School Track Records – What It Takes to Be the Best

Copyright © 2009 Ed Bagley

After receiving my 2009 All-Time World Indoor List of the records and best performances compiled by Ed Gordon, I asked myself, “What are the best United States high school middle distance indoor records?”

This question popped into my mine because I had just completed an article on the 2009 Simplot Games, the premiere high school indoor meet in the West, and one of the top gatherings of prep talent in the nation.

Gordon’s 221-page book is an incredible collection of every world indoor record with an extensive listing of best times following the world-record performances. This sort of publication is a gold mine of information for a person like me, who just happens to be a member of the Track and Field Writers of America (TAFWA).

Having been a track fan, follower and participant for more than 58 years, reading the records brought back some great memories for me. Even the high school list is too long to publish all of the records in Gordon’s compilation, so I focused on the middle distance events because that is my area of knowledge and expertise.

Two factors should be considered in sharing these impressive high school performances with you. First, there are very few indoor competitions compared to outdoor competitions, so there are a lot fewer opportunities to break records.

Second, indoor tracks can vary from an old time 11-lap track made up of cinders like I used to run on, and a modern 8-lap, 200-meter track made up of banked-boards or an artificial, composition surface. That said, here are the athletes whose stars are still shining:

First is Alan Webb, who competed for South Lakes High School in Reston, VA. Webb holds the indoor records in three events—the 1000-Meter in 2:23.68, the 1500-Meter in 3:43.27 and the Mile in 3:59.86, all set in 2001. The 1500 record was set enroute to the Mile record. Running a sub-4 minute mile as a prep runner is no mean task, and doing it indoors is even more difficult.

Before he graduated from high school, Webb would also set the national prep record in the outdoor Mile (3:53.43) and outdoor 1500 Meter (3:38.26). Ultimately, he would set the American record in the outdoor Mile (3:46.91) in 2007.

Another running legend, Gerry Lindgren of Rogers High School in Spokane, WA, holds two of the records—the 3000 Meter in 8:06.3 and the 2 Mile in 8:40.0, both set in the same race in 1964, 45 years ago and never bested the best of the best since. After graduating from high school in 1964, Lindgren would gain worldwide notice by beating two seasoned Russian runners to win the 10,000-Meter event in the US-USSR Track Meet in Los Angeles.

While running for Washington State University, Lindgren would win 11 NCAA championships and to this day remains only 1 of 2 runners to ever beat Steve Prefontaine in an NCAA Championship, winning the 1969 NCAA Cross-Country individual title when Prefontaine finished 3rd.

Lindgren would ultimately share the world 6-Mile record (27:11.6) with Billy Mills, the 1964 Olympic 10,000-Meter Champion and Gold-Medal winner.

Dave Merrick of Lincoln-Way High School in New Lenox, IL set the 3-Mile record by running 13:37.0 in 1971. Brad Hudson of South Eugene (OR) High School set the 5,000-Meter record with a 14:29.28 in 1971. To really appreciate Merrick’s indoor record, you only need to know that he ran back-to-back-to-back miles at a 4:32 pace; that is a lot of laps on a small track.

Two other records are of note. Michael Granville of Bell Gardens (CA) High School ran 1:50.55 in the 800 Meter in 1995, and Greg Gibson of Connell (WA) High School ran 2:10.1 for the 1,000 Yard in 1972.

Among the girls’ records, no name shines brighter than Mary Decker of Orange (CA) High School. Decker still holds the 800 Meter (2:01.8) and 880-Yard (2:02.4) records set in the same race in 1974. Those two indoor marks were world records at the time; she also set the 1,000-Meter world record (2:26.7) that same year as a prep runner.

Decker (now Mary Decker Slaney) was very popular, very talented and a fierce competitor on the track. Decker would go on to set 36 national records and 17 world records. She is the only American runner, man or woman, to hold all American records from 800 to 10,000-meters at the same time.

Decker still holds the American records for 800 Meters, 1,500 Meters, 1 Mile, 2,000 Meters and 3,000 Meters.

Another high school indoor record-holder who would become even more famous was Lynn Jennings of Bromfield High School in Harvard, MA. Jennings set the 1,500-Meter mark by running 4:18.9 in 1978.

Jennings would go on to win 3 World Cross-Country Championships, 9 U. S. National Cross-Country Championships, and become the bronze medalist in the 10,000 Meters at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Her Olympic time (31:19.89) in the 10,000 Meters set an American record. Her American road-race record for the 10,000 (31:06) still stands.

Melody Fairchild of Boulder (CO) High School holds two national indoor high school records—the 3,000 Meter in 9:17.7 and the 2 Mile in 9:55.92, both set in the same race in 1992. She would go on to become a repeat Foot Locker National High School Cross-Country Champion and still remains the course record holder. Fairchild was the first high school girl to break 10 minutes for 2 Miles.

Other indoor girl records were set by:

Diana Richburg of Lansingburgh High School in Troy, NY in the 1,000 Yard—2:26.3. Sarah Bowman of Fauquier High School in Warrenton, VA in the 1,000 Meter—2:43.40. Debbie Heald of Neff High School in Miranda, CA in the Mile—4:38.5. Cathy Schiro of Dover (NH) High School in the 3 Mile—16:20.9. Brianna Jackucewicz of Howell North High School in Farmingdale, NJ in the 5,000 Meter—16:43.02.

A Doubtful River by Dawson, Robert; Goin, Peter; Webb, Mary Edition , 0 $31.99 Winner of the Wilbur S. Shepperson Humanities Book Award, A Doubtful River reveals the uses and abuses of the Truckee River and documents the continual debates over its distribution to meet diverse demands, ultimately asking the question of what will happen to the rapidly dwindling water supply of the arid West? Robert Dawson’s and Peter Goin’s eloquent photographs record unforgettable images of the Truckee’s course from pineclad mountains to the sagebrush-covered vastness of the high desert and the ways the river and the land beside it have been used and reshaped by human needs, greed, and carelessness. Mary Webb’s essays offer a moving verbal counterpoint, focusing on the people who depend on and adjudicate the river’s water. The sum of the elements of this book is a memorable picture of the complexity of water allocation in a region where conflicting traditions about the uses of the land and its resources, a rapidly growing population, and limited supply make water the most precious commodity of all.

Precious Bane by Webb, Mary Edition , 0 $19.99 Born at the time of Waterloo in the wild country of Shropshire, Prudence Sarn is a wild, passionate girl, cursed with a hare lip—her precious bane. She is cursed for it, too, by the superstitious people amongst whom she lives. Prue loves two things: the remote countryside of her birth and, hopelessly, Kester Woodseaves, the weaver. The tale of how Woodseaves gradually discerns Prue's true beauty is set against the tragic drama of Prue's brother, Gideon, a driven man who is out of harmony with the natural world.

Gone to Earth by Webb, Mary Edition , 0 $13.99 The daughter of a Welsh gypsy and a crazy bee-keeper, Hazel Woodus is happiest living in her forest cottage in the remote Shropshire hills, at one with the winds and seasons, protector and friend of the wild animals she loves. But Hazel's beauty and innocence prove irresistible to the men in her orbit. Both Jack Reddin, the local squire and Edward Marston, the gentle minister, offer her human love. Hazel's fate unfolds as simply and relentlessly as a Greek tragedy, as a child of nature is drawn into a world of mortal passion in which she must eternally be a stranger.

Fiction, Essays & Poetry by Webb, Frank J Sollors, Werner Edition , 0 $16.49 Originally published in London in 1857, The Garies and Their Friends is the first novel to chronicle the experience of free blacks in the pre-Civil War Northeast. The novel anticipates themes that were to become important in later African American fiction, including miscegenation and passing, and tells the story of the Garies and their friends the Ellises, a highly respectable and industrious colored family. In addition to this new edition of The Garies, we are pleased to include new material by Webb, never before published in book form. These include the stories Marvin Hayle and Two Wolves and a Lamb, essays and a number of poems, together with photographs presumed to be the writer and his wife, the actress Mary Webb. Introduced by Professor Werner Sollors of Harvard University.

Child Protection by Wulczyn, Fred; Webb, Mary Bruce Edition ILL, 0 $19.49 The National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW) is the first nationally representative study of children who have been reported to authorities as suspected victims of abuse or neglect and the public programs that protect them. Child Protection is the first book that reports the results of NSCAW, interprets the findings, and puts them into a broader policy context. The authors, all experts in child welfare issues, address a range of issues made apparent by the survey results, including which types of personal and familial problems the programs are meant to address, the range of services and interventions that the child protection system can make available, and an assessment of these programs. Each chapter discusses the survey's implications and suggests new alternatives for designing and implementing future programs that not only protect at-risk children from further harm but also provide them with security and support. The practical lessons included in this volume make it an essential reference for all professionals working in the child protection field as well as anyone studying in the field of child welfare.

Now he had a second chance working an inside case for the newly rebuilt Colby Agency. And nothing, certainly not some tagalong woman, was going to ruin it.After her sister’s murder, justice was all that Mary Jane Brooks wanted. And Shane was crucial to nailing those responsible, even if he did send her pulse racing. Keeping things professional was downright impossible, especially when Mary Jane kept putting out conflicting signals. If Shane’s instincts were right, this fragile beauty was a virgin in the worst kind of trouble–but was he ready to take it all the way?
