Plugged catalytic converter, if equipped. Otherwise that type of heat stress and temperature indication would be normal, under the circumstances. Change coolant also, 50/50.

It sounds like the ignition timing is either too far advanced or even retarded. It can also be a faulty worn water pump.
bad water pump
Try looking at the water pump. it may not be operating properly and check your fan clutch See if it is working. if the spring is bad it may not work at high speed
