A possible answer to my own question about most sub-9:00 2-miles (courtesy
of Steve Underwood). ...
<<<<<<<<
Here's a rough chrono list with no conversions for Dathan Ritzenhein:
1999
9:01.?y FLO
2000
8:54.8mi CMU indoor
8:52.94y Nike Indoor
8:41.10m Roosevelt
8:58.85m MITCA team
9:00.63m State
8:52.5m Hanson's (14:13 - 5k split)
8:48.06y FLO
2001
8:47.4mi Central?
8:53.6m Penn (13:51 - 5k split.)
8:52.9y Roosevelt
8:43.32m state
8:44.43y FLO
8:51.1m USATF (13:44 - 5k spl.)
I think he only had a few other sub-9:10s ( 9:07.7 his soph
year ?), but how many other sub-9:20s? I'll bet at least a dozen
...
Still, 14 times at 9:01 3200m or better. I wonder how that compares to
others who were prolific. Some of the other all-time stars ahead
of Ritz on the list (Nelson, Reynolds, Scharsu) didn't have as many, I'll
bet.
