CIF California State Championship 2011

@Alex, the video should work now. Please check it out. If you were logged in then I would have been able to notify you directly =)

I'm not claiming the records to be accurate. I'm looking at them in the book and telling you what it says. I think that the issue comes up because you have nfhs and usatf organizations. NFHS records are run during the high school season against high school runners. USATF records can be run any time and against anybody. I'm not sure when or against who Gallagher ran her times but I would guess that it was not against high school fields and/or during the high school season. We can debate all day what should be and what NBN has listed but the NFHS is the governing body of "high school" sports. That's why NBN has"National Records" listed and not "High School Records". It's the same with colleges. That's why Primm's 800 at Pre was considered the fastest time of the year " by a collegiate" but it is not listed as the fastest collegiate time of 2011. It was ran in a mixed field.

"According to the NFHS Rules book"

It may say that in the "NFHS Rules book" but every list one encounters today (for example; look at the NBN meet heat sheets and results) clearly lists "National Records" by individuals who were in mixed-level races, not high school only races. Of course, the times are going to be a bit slower for HS only races more often than not, history and results demonstrate this, but it's how you look at it philosophically. If someone is physically in High School or (right around graduation) when the time is achieved, then it's a record achieved by a "high schooler" in a mixed-level race. Perhaps next to these records that your claiming to be accurate, one should put - "NFHS Record for Girls 800 Meters". Nearly every blog, announcement and article on Flotrack, Lets run, Runnerspace, etc... refers to these mixed-level records as being legitimate! I'm not saying you don't have a point - and a damn good one at that! It's just that there seems to be no consistency whatsoever on this subject and it becomes like so many arcane theological arguments that never get resolved. I actually met Kim Gallagher in high school, believe it or not and had the privilege of watching her smash record after record! I'm sure she'd have a thing or two to say about this if she were alive today.

Kim Gallagher is not the National High School Federation Record Holder for 800m, since her 2:00 time was run against non-high schoolers. Amy Weissenbach broke the NHSF 800m record of Chanelle Price ( 2:02.90 ), which was previously held by Joetta Clark (2:04.50).

What kind of half-assed logic is that? So....... Alan Webb's mile record of 3:53.43 isn't legitimate either then? Or how about the 2 mile time Verzbicus just recently ran against non-high schoolers? Or Lindgren's indoor 2 mile... the list goes on and on!!!!! Honestly, how can you say that?

Gedyon and Oshier....not Greydon and whatever else they were saying.

Four minutes... eighty -three seconds? Really?

Im fine with someone mispronouncing a name, but at least mispronounce it consistently. They said "oshier" about 6 different ways
