The announcers said world junior record, but I don't know if they are correct or not.
all-athletics.com's stats support our announcers, with this listed as WJR for indoor 600: Linsey McDonald GBR 1:27.4 (12 December 1981)
I think she had already run faster than that mark this year. Wasn't sure if she had beaten her earlier run this year but apparently she did. I see now it was 1:27.30.
According to Peter Larson site this is the second best ever (!) behind Olga Kotlyarova 1:23.44
Probably the performance of the meet
I'm inclined to agree -- in fact, looking at the all-time 600m lists -- combining indoor and outdoor -- Montano's time makes her #6 performer. I realize 600m isn't raced that much, but the four ahead of her (and Kotlyarova) are significant names in women's middle distance running: Quirot, Mutola, Jelimo, Melinte. Great performance for Montano.
I know it isn't a record, but given the history of great indoor performances by Ireland's milers, it seems worth noting that Ciaran O'Lionaird's 3:52.10 makes him #4 on their all-time indoor list, behind some great names: Coghlan, O'Sullivan, Flynn. It's been 30 years since a miler from Ireland has run this fast indoors.
Also, Lomong & Centrowitz now #3 & #4 on USA all-time indoor mile list (behind Lagat & Rupp, moving ahead of Scott & Maree).
And, O'Hare (in addition to the collegiate record) is #2 on GBR all-time indoor mile list (behind Peter Elliott 3:52.02).
By the way, how many record performances this evening? I haven't tallied them yet.

Whatever the case, she now has broken SIX HSR's indoors!!! Unprecedented!!
the 4:09 and 4:11 matching up with the 4:26 and 4:28
seem to be the problem
What 4:26?
If you look back at all the posts, right before the mile started, I posted my predictions for the race, listing what I thought the first 6 placers would be, and their times.
I picked Reid to win in 4:25.78, with Cain second in 4:26.15!!

Awesome. What does that have to do with either what really did happen or what az posted?

2. Cain.........4:26.15 (4:09.50 at 1500)
Where is this from? First of all...what is the 4:26.15?
I don't doubt it was timed....I'm just looking for an official time.
That "infamous" 4:26.15 was just my prediction for what Cain would run tonight, made just prior to the start!! As you can see, it was Dutra5 who first included that PREDICTED time...SEEMINGLY as the REAL result!! It was NOT!! So FORGET the 4:26.15!! Cain's 4:28.25 (and 4:11.72 enroute) was awesome enough!!

Does this clear things up??
The 4:26.15 came from az2004 which is why I asked the question in the first place. So, no, you haven't cleared anything up.

Can't find anything other than for Cain and that was from the Millrose tweet. What's maddening is that the men's 1500m splits are listed in the results.

I'm too dizzy
I'll sum it up. You were wrong in what you thought you read and from whom. Multiple times.

The collegians primarily run the mile indoors, not the 1500, although the run the 1500 outdoors and run the mile outdoors less than the men. Thus, the indoor collegiate 1500 is likely not as good as the mile.

The difference there, in addition to her going hard to 1500 and being a little tired at the end, is the fact that the collegians primarily run the mile indoors, not the 1500, although the run the 1500 outdoors and run the mile outdoors less than the men.
The time as quoted is wrong anway as the 4:09 seems to have been pulled out of thin air. The correct time of 4:11.72 would be the second fastest collegian however.

Also, thanks to kuha for the "glass 99.99995% full" statement-- well stated!
Very good 800 guy from Iowa; he took down a pretty good 800 field at the Big Ten meet last spring. I am not sure if he lead all the way, but he took the race strategy of several very good finishers while also beating guys like Casmir Loxsom (Penn St) and Harun (MN) and Mudd (Wis).
Jeez Louise!! I was just over at Let'sRun searching for any videos from Cain's race tonight. Boy, are their Message Board people a bunch of hard ass you-know-whats!! They have a thread there saying Cain elbowed Reid and tripped Hasay during the race. But that's not the worst of it. Not by a mile!! (sic!)
They said some VERY hateful and harsh things about not only Cain, but also about Hasay!! Personal things! I won't repeat them!! They're too ugly!!
The kid is just 16 years old!! Is that the way these creeps treat 16 year old girls??
Come on, Let'sRun, either clean up your Message Board.....or make those creeps apologize to Mary and Jordan!!
I ain't going back there....ever!!
(Our MB commenters are Mother Teresa's compared to them!!)

cains 1500 time would be #2 on the ALL TIME collegiate 1500 list behind only tina krebs, cains mile time would put her at #3 on the ALL TIME collegiate mile list behind only jenny barringer-simpson and sally kipyego.
