9:44.33 is 38.955 sec/200 meters, so wouldn't that convert to 10:22.88 for Morgin?

Strictly going by the Big Gold Book conversions. Morgin has already run 10:20 last year and she did PR in mile yesterday so I am sure she will run faster than conversion listed above at Arcadia.

I'm sure she will. Even doubling, she nearly won the mile. She's a beast.

What's the "Big Gold Book"?

You can get the Big Gold Book from Track and Field News. It has all sorts of conversions and point values for dec and hep.
