Mary Cain runs 4:32.78 to break the high school national indoor mile record by nearly six seconds at the 2013 New Balance Games. The mark bettered Debbie Heald's 41 year old record of 4:38.5 set in 1972. Cain also broke the national high school indoor 1500 meter record as she split 4:16.11 en route to her mile time. The old record was 4:18.9h by Lynn Jennings back in 1978.

Most important thing Cain said (among a lot of fun, goofy, and really bright things):

"I am a kicker, that's what I do!".
There's the great dividing line between young girls, and women, at all levels. Not, "I run a hundred miles a week and running myself nearly into the ground is why I am running fast. I can WORK harder than anyone (I am obsessed)"
Buff up girl, keep aceing the SATs, and go to school where it does you the most good. But of course, as a former Eugene resident, "Come to O-R-R-E-G-O-N", if it fits... Actually, how about Stanford? Ah, we are ahead of ourselves here, but it's it sort of fun. Keep smiling, and kicking.

She rocks....enthusiastic, articulate, humble, but confident....love it!!

The girl is a straight A student. Father is a doctor. Lives in one of the most expensive towns in America. I would not be so confident that Oregon is in her future. Half her class and their parents are the product of the Ivys. She can still be coached by Alberto and attend an Ivy league school.
