it kills me that everyone thinks they are either the shit at track, or an expert. reality is you're neither. a simple "wow, that's impressive" is all that needs to be said.
You know, there's something weird about this, but before I say anything, I want to say that this is truly amazing and I love these guys, good job to them all. But it for some reason to me doesn't look like the Olympics. It doesn't seem as cheery, and as many people as there usually is. Sorry if I made anyone mad, but that's my thoughts.
What amazes me is that usually athletes do the sign of the cross before, and if they win it's the last thing they think about. But here he did it after. That shows true faith.
Silliness I'm just starting track and ran a 4:52 in 7th grade silly that you guys think 4:48 is fast when your 15 by the time I will be 15 I will be running a 4:24 1500
The blue guy who starts mid-line, at about 0:08 looks to see where Webb is, then makes a bee-line to just in front of him and lands there at 0:11. He then slows right down. Team tactics worked. Webb can get 3:30, so get in front, box him in, slow him down. El Gherrouj used to go wide early, keeping an eye on things. If he'd the mind to go when the other blue guy pushed him. Webb should've collected himself in the home straight and dodged around the stopper-guy and broken out. He let em own him.
@SevEnElEmEn4:29 is not second in the nation, a 4:29 for a 1500m is equivalent to about a 4:48 to 4:49 mile which, last time i checked, isnt even close to national level. unless ur talking about maybe middle school u really need to redefine ur meaning of 2nd best in the nation.
@repete217 if u think a 4:48 mile is fast ur fuckin stupid. ur probably confused with the definition fo "top 5" u might be in the top five for your league or division or possible even your team. in order to qualify div 1 for states in HS you need to be around 4:40 and thats just states, for nationals u need to be under 4:25 bare minumum and thats just to run it, if u want to win your gonna have to beat kids running around 4:10 and less
@abrocrazy3 im just giving a general view of all states, i know that each state has a different quailifying standard, on avergae the standard for div 1 is 4:40. (which if you look at it, kinda sucks) and to win in nationals ur gonna be racing kids running bare minimum of 4:10, the winner this year was like 4:03 i think, at least for nike indoor nationals
Oh, POOR Alan Webb didn't make the Olympic team. Just shows that he's a lot of HYPE and can't DELIVER when it really counts. He may have the American Record in the mile, but he's NEVER going to EXECUTE in a MAJOR COMPETITION. Just shows that extraordinary talent in HIGH SCHOOL doesn't mean ANYTHING!
I GUARANTEE all of you that Webb will NEVER win an OLYMPIC MEDAL in ANYTHING!
Yeah, I PROBABLY won't, but at least I wasn't HYPED UP by everyone because I ran a 3:53 in HIGH SCHOOL then had nothing INTERNATIONAL to show for it afterwards. At least Jim Ryun had a few WORLD RECORDS and a SILVER medal!
True enough, HOPING that he'll be the NEXT JIM RYUN. Trouble is, that's SELDOM the case. If anything, that puts TOO MUCH PRESSURE on the young runner and he ends up BURNING OUT and NOT REACHING HIS POTENTIAL. Just look at MIKE GRANVILLE!
dannnng.. they ran the 400m faster than i ever have. i ran my 400m in a "as fast as i can go dont care if i die full sprint" at 1:03. i think its their strides that make it look so easy... i prolly need to work on those.
If you say you ran faster than 4:30 in junior high your full of shit. As far as I know the fastest is 4:32, and most people havn't gotten close to that. (Jim Ryun, 4:34)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im 7 years old and i can run super fast...like i mean super super fast...like faster than the 12 year old here...i do 4 minute mile... thats in practice.... ha whatever!!! :)
the mile is VERY mental bro, its my worse race dont worry about it. youre race will prove one day to be its best. I started in track and now i run cross coutnry instead but track season run the 800 and 400. its just what fits, youll find your grove. as long as you enjoy running dont worry about your time.
its funny when people try to impress other people who they will never meet/can't even see. how pathetic.
webb had 4th place in the last 100m but gave it up! if someone had gotten injured or something he could have ran for them. man, some people just dont do well at all in slow-paced races... you'd think it would be easier though. it's weird how that works.
I dont undestand why people post their times as if someone asked them. Theres no way for anyone on youtube to tell if you ran a 4:20 as a freshman so please dont post it. WE DONT GIVE A FUCK!!
never ran a 1500 but ran a 4:30 mile as a junior then got an injured but i felt like i was going fast, just imagine how that would feel to run as fast as these guys
stop showing off no one cares runnings not about the times, i don't get why everyone is obssesed with showing off how fast they go. I could be runnin a 4:00 flat and I wouldn't feel the need to tell the world
I think most people who say "I ran the mile in 4:00in 8th grade" is total BS. They are lying and showing off lol. If they really did, they would probably would have been on the news and the average mile time would be 4:00. LOl. I was reading comments and about 5 people in every video is like "I ran 4:00 minutes in 8th grade." Some of it may be true though, but most arent : ).
Nobody in fucking junior high can run a 4 flat in tthe mile. and yes AAguitar is totally right. runnings about fucking enjoying it, it doesnt matter what the hell you run. if you run a 10 minute mile who cares. and a 4 minute mile is not the highest ranked in the nation for highschool either.
LMAO!!!! hey bud, im 15 and i can run faster than that. also the winners time was 3:40!!!!!!! yea thats a really fucking fast pace, and you would have to train for YEARS like they do to get that good.
Your full of shit, show me the link. Your a rude little bitch, an 8th grader MAY have done it, but IT was definitely WASN'T YOU YOU SACK of SHIT. Learn to SPELL you little ASSHOLE.
Buffalo High School JUNIOR Zach Mellon, finishing as the runner-up at the USA Junior Championships in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, established a new all-time best mark for Minnesota high school boys at 800 meters with his 1:48.64 clocking.A JUNIOR!
Lopez Lomong: "When we were in Africa, we didn't know what was there for us as kids--we just ran. God was planning all of this stuff for me, and I didn't know. Now I'm using running to get the word out about how horrible things were back in Sudan during the war. Sometimes these things are not on CNN, so if I put out the word, I hope people can get the information. Right now, similar terrible things are going on in Darfur; people are running out of Darfur, and I put myself in their shoes."
The move that Manzano made from the back to the front of the pack at around 35 seconds into the video - that is WHAT WEBB needed to do!!! Webb got completely bitched by the entire field.
go get 'em. "impossible is nothing" right? good luck, i want to see you on podium in London in four years ok? isn't it weird to think that it'll take you four years to take 70 seconds off of your PR?
Runner's World did a big write up on Gabe Jennings and how hard he was training for the 1500 meter. It didnt' say anything about his strategy of burning the first half mile then completely dying on the last lap. Man.
Dammitt Gabe! Pretty depressing way to finish after all of that intense training. Eversince high school, I have had a bad habit of being a rabbit and going out too hard and trying to outkick the competition at the end (Like PRE and FAM); pure guts. But you don't go out that hard with a kick like Lagat's breathing down your neck 3/4 of the race. Hell of a steal from Kenya with Bernard. I'm loving our chances in the distance races in Beijing. U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!!
i don't understand why manzano didn't just run for mexico. it's far less competitive and he had 100% chance of making it. if Webb had a good day and Lukezic or Lomong beat him, he could have been out
LEO Manzano makes all of us here in TEXAS proud. Great runner who will medal at the olympics. If lagat doesn't run well Leo will beat him......stay tuned!
I'm 14 and i'm running 1500 meter 4 my schools team...I can make it in 4 minutes 50 seconds...Is it good or bad? Yesterday i won gold in ma schools sports day... And my biggest dream is to run in 2012 olympics...I hope i will make it come true... ;)
first of all tylandal, said is not a douche, he ran a great race he had to make legat and everyone else think, it was a great move by him, and if you went to camp foss and hung out with Said Ahmed u would ind him to be the man.
After the race Alan Webb came up to his fans who were wearing bright orange shirts and said: can i have one of those? because he beat him. it was super cool
Webb didn't make it, not because he is not capable, but because he ran stupid. Webb was done after the first lap. You cannot let that race go out in 61 and then 2.00+ and expect to out-kick any of the guys that beat him...
Webb never got a comfortable spot in that race. He spent so much energy running from near last place or running in lane 3. Poor tactical race on his part. Needed to be more aggressive.
lol if you don't think I can run a 4:24 1500 by the end of this year look me up on athletic.net Oregon

lol seriously you'd be on the news. like the 11 year old who runs the 4:40 or around there
IbanezPlaya194 3 years ago
12 years old, 4:30? Impossible! Next time when you wanna say your own timing, trying running it before you say anything... Otherwise, it is stupid...

Lopez Lomong: "When we were in Africa, we didn't know what was there for us as kids--we just ran. God was planning all of this stuff for me, and I didn't know. Now I'm using running to get the word out about how horrible things were back in Sudan during the war. Sometimes these things are not on CNN, so if I put out the word, I hope people can get the information. Right now, similar terrible things are going on in Darfur; people are running out of Darfur, and I put myself in their shoes."

Lopez Lomong is a great story!

The move that Manzano made from the back to the front of the pack at around 35 seconds into the video - that is WHAT WEBB needed to do!!! Webb got completely bitched by the entire field.

im 14 too and i run the mile in 4:54 and going into ninth grade is that good. and my biggest goal is to go to the 2012 olympics is there hope?
colts189 3 years ago
its not impossible. Dont ever let anyone tell you you cant do anything.
9th grade i was terrible, ran a 5:27 mile, this past year (junior year in high school) ran a 4:27 on a strained quad.

He had to make the A standard and the rest of the fied was content to cruise behind. Alan Webb was the big flop of this puppy.

Runner's World did a big write up on Gabe Jennings and how hard he was training for the 1500 meter. It didnt' say anything about his strategy of burning the first half mile then completely dying on the last lap. Man.

Dammitt Gabe! Pretty depressing way to finish after all of that intense training. Eversince high school, I have had a bad habit of being a rabbit and going out too hard and trying to outkick the competition at the end (Like PRE and FAM); pure guts. But you don't go out that hard with a kick like Lagat's breathing down your neck 3/4 of the race. Hell of a steal from Kenya with Bernard. I'm loving our chances in the distance races in Beijing. U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!! U.S.A!!!

Webb must have run 1530 meters. Hard to win a race when you run the last turn in the middle of lane two.

Congratulations Leo!!!

i don't understand why manzano didn't just run for mexico. it's far less competitive and he had 100% chance of making it. if Webb had a good day and Lukezic or Lomong beat him, he could have been out

After the race Alan Webb came up to his fans who were wearing bright orange shirts and said: can i have one of those? because he beat him. it was super cool

i really though it was gonna be Lagat, Webb, and Manzano but since webb is kind of an up and down runner he didnt have a good race.

littleman9996 3 years ago
Webb didn't make it, not because he is not capable, but because he ran stupid. Webb was done after the first lap. You cannot let that race go out in 61 and then 2.00+ and expect to out-kick any of the guys that beat him...
Lagat is on another level.
wtk2012 3 years ago
Webb never got a comfortable spot in that race. He spent so much energy running from near last place or running in lane 3. Poor tactical race on his part. Needed to be more aggressive.
Manzano will not even make the semis. Overrated.
ck34972 3 years ago
Manzano has a lot of potential. If he runs smart (i.e. unlike Webb) i believe he can make the finals. But thats just my opinion
