I am proud of running in the national track and field meet, in the 1500 meter race, over the summer leading up to sixth grade. I finished 19th with a time of 5:03 seconds. There were 57 runners in my age group running the 1500 meter from all over the country. The runner that won in my age group was from the triangle. He set a national record! I’ve been racing against him in every single meet and can’t quite beat him.

    Wow Neil! How far (in terms of the track) is 1500 meter?

  6. Neil M at |

    The 1500 meteris only 100 meters shorter than a mile which is a 1600 meter. The mile is 4 laps around a track.
