If you are not familiar with track speak...
No one races it, so no one cares.

There are no official records for the 1.5 mile distance, but considering that the 2 mile "world best" is less than 8 minutes, if there was a record it would be less than 6 minutes.
Combining the times for 1000m and 1500m gives a minimum estimate for 2500m (1.55 mi) of between 5 minutes, 38 seconds and 5 minutes 48 seconds.

The world record is 3 minutes and 43 seconds. But maybe you are really physically fit and can run it that fast. If you are that good then why is the world record 3 minutes and 43 seconds and not your time of three minutes. I have never heard of you but I surely would have if you held the world record. In short, the answer to your question is no.

A 'split' is the time it takes to run a portion of the race. Split times in the mile run are generally taken after 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 3/4 mile and are used to determine whether the runner is on pace to finish the race in the desired time or in a record time.
