Given that the generally accepted conversion for the 3200-2 mile is 2.4
seconds, I would take the position that the 9:49.78 is vastly superior given
that it is only about 800 meters farther.

Subject: t-and-f: what's the best HS distance medley of all-time?
South Lakes 9:49.78 at the distance medley broke the 14-year-old HSR of
9:53.31 by McCullough.
However,. back in 1977 South Eugene ran a 10:01.6 when the legs were at
non-metric yard distances.
What's the conversion factor and which mark is intrinsically superior?
