Depending on the year of the 172 ? All the old ones would max out at about 118mph much less 135 knots !! I am not sure a new 172 could do the 135 knots. Maybe they can. Probably shouldn't have been in the 2500 ft line. I have been behind plenty of the same in my Bonanza, circling the lake at Lakeland Florida for Sun n Fun. I looked left just in time to save myself from having a 172 wheel come through my side window in that circle a few years ago. Again, a 172 decending into our ring of flight from who knows where. People not adhereing to the 100 knt thing they had there then.
