What is the fastest half mile time by a middle school student?

Answer 1

Jim Ryun has the fastest mile time in a high-school only track meet.

Alan Webb, holds the high-school boy's record at 3:53.43, but this was set in 2001 at the Prefontaine Classic, which is a professional meet.

Answer 2

In the 2012 London Olympics, David Rudisha ran the 800m in 1:40.91. This is the current world record.

He is absolutely huge and looks so smooth when he runs. It was an incredible run. If anyone can break the 1:40 barrier, he can. In any case, check out the video from the Olympics YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKEOjWEzVGs
