Ok. It’s not her fault that on the biggest stage she ran a smarter race than the people who were theoretically better than her. And it’s pathetic to hold a grudge against someone’s child because you dislike their father (despite never having met either of them).
She’s amazingly accomplished at a very young age. Among the best high school Colorados runners of all time, despite just having started training seriously. Nothing wrong with celebrating that.
538/474 = 1.136...aka men's world record time x 1.136 = women's world record time (or girls time is 88.0% as fast as boys time with 474/538).
10 minutes (600) seconds x .88 = 528.2 seconds (9:48)
A 10-minute girls' 2-mile converts to a 9:48 boys' 2-mile.
Also, a 10:00 girls' 3200 (including conversions) is 58th all time in the Milesplit database. 58th for the boys is 8:43 (However, an argument could be made that there is more depth on the boys side).
if you compare what professional women run with their 3k times, and compare it to professional male 3k times. It will give you a more accurate conversion.

He is. She was there because Dathan is there because On is sponsoring it and a few OAC athletes are racing. She won NXN too.
I think the custom kit is cool. I thought it was just a generic On kit, but during her interview I realized it had her school name on it too. Great that On is making custom singlets for their athletes. I wonder if they gave them to her whole team. A dozen Niwott OAC jerseys can't be much more than 1, given it's a custom design.
It'd actually be cool if they gave Niwott 14 jerseys for an incentive for girls/boys to make varsity. It'd be cool if they did that for every school that an athlete got an NIL deal. Nice for On because a bunch of kids would be trying to wear their jersey. Nice for the kids because they'd get a custom jersey, and future athletes would get to learn where it came from. Just another way to get people a bit more invested/interested in the sport.
Who the hell cares about Niwott! Not everyone is as obsessed about the shady Ritz family as you seem to be. Kids don’t care. There are plenty of other runners to idolize. She doesn’t cut it at this point.
I understand why Ritz had a shady past. AlSal, Lcarnitine injections, etc. To his credit, he was cooperating with the investigation and did tell the truth of what happened. I'm curious why you said the shady Ritz family? What makes his family shady?
