[1] According to NFHS, the current male high school record holder in the 3200 m is Simeon Birnbaum of South Dakota, with a time of 8:34.10 in 2023.

Even faster was Lukas Verzbicas, who ran an equivalent 8:26.50 3200 m en route to his high school two mile record of 8:29.46, in 2011, at the Prefontaine Classic.

Likewise, the current official female high school record holder in the 3200 m is Katelyn Touhy of New York, with a time of 9:47.88 in 2018.

If indoor tracks are considered, Mary Cain's 2013 9:38.68 two mile time converts down to a 9:35.32 3200 m, and is the therefore the fastest 3200 m split ever recorded for a high school girl.

[4] Josh Kerr ran a converted equivalent of a 7:57.88 3200 m in his 2024 world best of 8:00.67 in the two mile run.
