I once had a somewhat similar experience when I was a high school track coach. There was an athlete at our school track working out on her own doing 400m intervals/repeats. I timed a couple of her intervals which were faster than all but 2 of my best athletes and they were being done with minimal effort. She appeared to have finished her workout and asked if she could join in with my athletes and was still able to crush my athletes. At the end of the workout, I insisted she sit down and talk to me; I told her that she has to join the track and that I would not accept no for an answer. Long story short, she was an extremely young-looking professional athlete training for the 2000 Olympics. She said she figured out early on that I perhaps thought she was a H.S. student and just went along with it for fun. Turns out I did who she was, but she looked much younger close-up. For a moment, I thought I had an athlete practically fall into my lap who was going to help me win a state championship.
