To everyone whining about body types not allowing them to do it... are you kidding me? Yeah, no f*ckin sh*t, a fatty isn't going to run 15 flat in the 5k.
But I think that anyone who starts training at 14 (high school freshman) can eventually run it. Bringing up women's times... ok well there's this thing that men possess call the Y chromosome. If you take a kid and put him on ACTUAL mileage through high school (we're talking get up to 65-70 in the summer before senior year) he should be running at least 10:15 in the two mile. I mean anyone. No one is IMMUNE to aerobic training, capillaries WILL grow, efficiency WILL improve, and times WILL drop.
To all the kids "working their ass*s off" who can't break 15 in college, they either: did not do ample mileage in high school to prepare themselves, cannot get there due to frequent injury, or (most often) not training correctly. If you get to that 70mpw in HS, there's no reason you don't get to 90-100mpw in college. Stay healthy, have even a decent training plan, don't be a b*tch, and you'll run 15 flat.
What is your progression and final time?
I'm here to tell you that you may be above average in all but intelligence.
