Bryshon Nellum runs a 20.43 at California State Meet

[3Beenz]

this is my cousin lol

[Tone202]

i wonder is he is related to crise nellum who lives here in ohio and hold the high school record in the 200 mens.

[Sonolumino8939]

I think it's safe to say California has fast kids when 20.6 doesn't win in a high school race. Hope to see Bryshon back on his game soon after that incident too

[SuperMhouston]

just look at it this way jamaicans have nothing else better to do with there time than run

[ThePresident45]

Nellum one of the best 200-400 sprinters in HS history. Split 44.6 that year as well. Very strong runner and also 20.43 speed. Nellum vs Chris Nelloms would of been a hell of a race. 20.47 and 45.36 and 44.2 for Chris Nelloms and a 13.30 110 hurldes as well.

[TheHerk87]

best got a better start butttt bryshon through 100m(where the numbers are or 1:31) was faster than best(who who the open 100m in 10.31). and he would have won by 5 hundreths it looks like and they are running a turn. so bryshon would have beat best in the open 100m and since he would have been running a straight not a curve he would have easily beaten best. he could have ran a 10.20 fairly easy. best is hella fast for a football player though

[siliconsurf]

the money is in football...not track and field...

[TYLerlittmann]

those are some killer qualifying times

[MerC16]

Jahvid best is a fuckin star now

[TheHerk87]

@MerC16 bryshon is still gonna be breaking records for the rest of his colligate years. and would have been 2 years ago if he didn't get shot. he is already a star and now that he is healthy i have faith that he is gonna be the star that he should have been the next to years at sc(im talking ncaa records falling).

[jerelcoles123]

what happened to nellum

[Agureghian]

@jerelcoles123

He got shot. But is now back to about how fast he was as a high schooler. He is a redshirt jr now.

[bakcalif]

back in like 2008

[bakcalif]

too bad nellum got shot

[Studdah]

[fiestyhamster]

[blitzac2005]

[track4roy]

alot of the coaches philosophy is diff...

[track4roy]

NO more of this BS coaches not telling you the secret... I have the reall thing ......seriously...

[Trackstarboy18]

tell me da real thing den

[track4roy]

dam nice form....guess what people I know the philosophy of this running form perfectly....I ran yesterday at 46.38 on the 400 without having alot of training.....Man I found the guy who told me how to run it he gave me a paper and I read it and it's the real deal...If you want to know it it'll will cost you....

[jbt2018]

[Trackstarboy18]

i wanna know! and y would it cost?

[deaundresimmons1]

[deaundresimmons1]

yeah nellum got shot three times in his legs

[DameTaylorTV]

yeah thats wack...but thats what happens when you go to long beach poly...long beach breeds the biggest stars and the biggest haters...hopefully he'll recover...

[redmangoose182]

can't believed someone shot him..

[nickdabeast95]

wonder what usain got in HS?

[MA21L]

he got about 20.something when he was 15, not to sure

[nickdabeast95]

thanks

[MA21L]

its cool

[classclown305]

yea ur right, he holds the jr record in the 200m

so stop giving him thumbs down people.lol

[mysticalraven2]

at 15 20:63 i think at 17 19:93 world junior record

[Visionary0001]

I saw Usain Bolt run a 20.58 at 200 meters when he was only 15 YEARS OLD. We were coaching two of our (USA) athletes at Jr. World Champrionships back in 2002.

At that time, Bolt's 400 meter time was only about 46.7, but as a 15 year old, he was clearly faster than Bryshon Nellum was in both distances at that same age. (Nellum's best 400 meters was 46.82 at age 16.)

[jbt2018]

Obea Moore ran 45.14 400 at the age of 16

[classclown305]

yea but he was a freakshow..too bad he never succeded, he wore himself out and i think he went to jail

[nugen966]

do you think or do you know?

[kingis21]

what the hell

[ippikin]

He got shot in the legs on Halloween

[RBGdUP]

yeah, thats sad as hell. South Central LA is NOT the place to be. Stupid ass gang-bangers, buy guns before learning how to shoot and end up innocent bystanders. He was already nursing a hamstring injury from last year, and now this. Doctors predict he will recover, but hopefully he can do so soon

[jbk6789]

who got shot? bryshon nellum?

[RBGdUP]

yeah, a little bit ago. I think he's good now, we'll probably see him in the Pac-10's this year

[sexylilman69]

damn, thats fucked up...

[vc96]

hes a high school student? SHIT

[cashmoneykid07]

ive seen this dude run at a tennessee university a couuple years ago, he is the truth!

[cptlife]

Christian never ran a faster than 10.1 at the state meet.....He has also been successful in several international meets...and you will be seeing him compete if Im not mistaken next month at the Olympic Games!

[cptlife]

Christian never ran faster than 10.1 @ the texas state meet.... Edorian Mcullough ran the 10.05 that year....and Christian has also been very successful at several international meets... If I'm not mistaken you will be seeing him in action next month...In the Olympic Games running for his native country!!!

[GomavsGo05]

Brenden Christian from Austin, Tx (Reagan HS) back in 2002 ran a 20.32 (1 sec from WR) and a 10.05 100M at the state meet and didn't have the hype like this kid. Unfortunately He has battled injury after injury and he'll never truly recover. Nellum is very fast but like everyone has said. He needs to work on his shoulder form. He has potential. I would love to see him and Rynell Parsons from San Antonio, Tx (Stevens HS) race

[Case0Breaker]

1 sec from WR? what is that supposed to mean? do you realize how much 1 second is in the 100 or 200? that's like winning over someone by 30 seconds in the mile. haha... are you serious.

[kingis21]

wen was this

[Maxoo05]

i've never seen a so bad arms technic, could be far more fast .

[jaraha]

The kid in red needs to work on his arm swing...

[bumbles121]

word he would be a lot faster if he jus fixes that

[elpermic]

saw this live, gotta give props to best

[wh0t1td0]

so u ran a 23 then?

[jayzcrazii]

thank god i never have 2 race him lol

[Soulja4God777]

Nellum has speed and great form. He is going to be something great.

[ethiopian09]

fast mutha fuckas, fast mutha fuckas! does anyone know what michael johnson was runnin' in high school for the 200's. fucking world record of 19.32 seconds when he was old and crusty like 32 years old, i guess thats where the .32 comes from. lol haha lmao. i know

[bigspooner916]

he was 28 when he set the world record.

[ethiopian09]

thats why i said "like 32" years old, 28, "a month before he was 29" and thats still old as fuck.

[themhighones]

his time wasn't awesome, compared to bryshon. he ran a low 21

[themhighones]

his time wasn't awesome, compared to bryshon. he ran a low 21

[otakufan88]

old lmfao and he broke the record id love to see ur slow ass at that age run and brake a record wut i thot shut ur ass up

[diamepiece]

nellum's strides were just longer and quicker, his form is great.

[mclace]

One of the best 200 duels ever you got to respect Jahvid best too that was a hell of a run he was even with Nellum and even when Nellum started to pull away you could see Jahvid reel him in just a little if he could have maintained till the finish he might have got him.

[bbdweller]

whoa! i ran against joe cooks(lane 4)he is a junior this year ! damn! heez a monster!

[wscchisox21]

watch jahvid best on his tail, this guy is a football player running track, not a track star playing football, this kid can fly the Cal Bears are lucky to have this kid

[broadjumper1]

No need to pressure this young man with ridiculous comments about how he should change his running style from armchair coaches. Let him progress with good coaching in college. I hope he does well, but everytime I see one of these phenoms, I can't help but think of Obea Moore or Michael Granville. Never made it to the next level.

[tribespeak]

his running form looks so relaxed, like a pro 400 runner. Bryshon's stride length is rediculously long.

[mvdiablo]

No it's not good for a guy like Bryshon to hug the turn, He has to long of legs to do that. He wouldn't get the best of it like a smaller guy would..

[ColdShotMania]

this nellum as smooth or smoother than wariner and he can take him down in a few years in the 400m as he clearly has the speed with this run.

[jperkins1911]

Not so fast. It can be difficult at times translating that talent from high school to the professional or even college ranks. Let's see how he does at USC first.

[dubasher]

my only complaint with Bryshon is that he needs to learn to hug the lane line better. He probably would have taken down both records (200/400) if he were running on the inside part of the lane on the turn/s.

[bhsucks]

That's a good point, but sometimes you concentrate on keeping your form that you forget about basic things like that.

[jperkins1911]

He's still young...he'll learn. If he stays focused and takes care of himself...he's going to be REALLY scary!

[richardkilty]

you dont need to hug then bend, you run faster if you run in the middle of your lane..less centerfugal forces

[xfp21]

True.

Also, he could of easily run sub 20.30 if his reaction/start was better.

[TheHerk87]

@dubasher im not saying your wrong as he could have done it better maybe but there is a reason why his starting blocks are as far outside as can be at the start.and from the gun he is fading inside to hit the apex. how a race car hits the apex to get the fastest time so did bryshon he did it perfectly. same with a 4x1 there is a reason best teams have the 1st and 3rd legs have it in the left hand and the 2nd and 4th in the right. just think like how a racecar goes from out to in to out.
