  • Ur a really good film man btw

  • Damn. Just, damn.

  • "My Nose Itches, I'll Scratch It For You"

  • great runner, future olympic material.

  • our 3200m school record was set in this race. 8:58 way back in 3rd

  • dang! they have some consistant laps!

  • "A slight breeze in the south, southwest direction." well.... which way's north here?

  • @AlloJonesMusic Recently I ran 4:44 where I went out 66...obviously did not run negative split. A few weeks later, I ran 4:47 where I went out 72 and did run negative split. I don't think it depends on what kind of shape you're in. I think it all depends on your pace. Personally, I think in a short race like the mile, it is better to go out quick and hang on rather than go out slow and try to negative split. Legs are more fresh in the beginning than at the end.

  • Edward Chesereks guna break that 8:34 i guarentee it

  • @Crazyness745 its 8:29 now.

  • @Crazyness745 that may be- but 834 is no longer the time to beat. lukas ran 829 at pre classic last year for a new hs national record

  • An amazing race.

  • Just beaten less than half an hour ago by Lukas Verzbicas

  • @soujiro77 that was the 2 mile HSR. This is the 3200 HSR. German held the two mile record and 3,000 meter HSR, but Lukas broke those. German still holds the 3,200 HSR (this race).

  • @JoshMcRay Lukas Verzbicas went 8:29 at the prefontaine classic last weekend. Although it really shouldn't be considered an HSR since he was running with all pros and even had his own personal pacer.

  • @EffinAhut  Many high school records have been broken running with pros. As long as there isn't a rule that says "High School Records can only be broken in high school competition," then it doesn't matter.

  • @JoshMcRay

    true but German never ran with pros or had a pacemaker when he set his records and if he did he could of ran faster times.

  • did anyone else see the 2nd place guy spazz out at 4:03?

  • @abuj1 No,  he was just stretching his arms, nothing wrong with that

  • dang they should have separated that into 2 heats, that race is way to big.

  • 2:09, 2:09, 2:09, 2:07...

  • "Don't try and take the lead fool, save yourself" hahahah

  • @drmltj411 He wasn't talking about German when he said that he was talking about the guy in the 2nd lane trying to pass German lol

  • What.a.man

  • shit id be happy to run a 418 for just one mile period! way ta go german!

  • @hawaiirules i feel the same way man, im hoping to break 4:30 this season

  • rofl why there macy's ads?

  • "don't try and take the lead fool. Save yourself" hahaha

  • wow, he is amazing. His form is so good and looks so relaxed its like art

  • It actually wasnt 7 seconds, its was about 2. Jeff Nelson from Burbank H.S. in the 80s ran an 8:36. 

  • @mpm2010lbc that 8:36 that Jeff Nelson ran was a 2-mile race. This was a 3200 meter race. So yes, it was actually 7 seconds.

  • Wow. Those guys that got lapped are probably doing 5:00-5:30 miles? Who does that? The one thing that amazes me is how easily his running looks, especially with the people gasping to keep up.

  • @charlesownsu their sectional probably sucked dick.

  • @charlesownsu He was running about 4:58 pace, still a respectable time but yeah shouldn't have been at the state meet.

  • @drone713 yeah, he might've been in a shitty sectional though, which was why he was there

  • His body fat =0%

  • German recently ran a 7:51 3000m....So now he can do ~8:20 3200m

  • its pronounced her-mon...not german

  • @fuzzygreendemon thanks for trying man but actually it er- man

  • @fuzzygreendemon no, it's pronounced German. Listen to the first 5 seconds, he says his own name.

    /watch?v=kqSnbSYcYpE&NR=

  • @fuzzygreendemon It's spelled Ger-Man... Not Her-Mon

  • @fuzzygreendemon i like how people pretend they know how to pronounce something and make a fool out of himself..look up his interview and listen to how he pronounces his name

  • @fuzzygreendemon Her Mom ?  Who's mom? not my mom?

  • if this was added exactly 2 years ago, imagine what he can do now..

  • I always feel bad for those 5 runners that follow German until the 1600m. You'd think with how fast they are they would have paced themselves better instead of obviously going out too fast and dying.

  • So smooth. Total natural right here.

  • this guy is fast

  • to abp23c he did not run 14:18 as a freshman he ran 14:24 as a senior in state meet

  • Dumb fuck. Shut it.

  • just think he doubled this meet, befor ethe 3200m he ran the 1600 and got a 4:00 in that...hes a monster

  • i was there when German ran the record, my friend got sixth in this race, but german man that guy was insane. glad i was able to see him break it

  • Comment removed

  • OMG 8:34 - what a beast ! Unbelievable .

  • Didn't Dathan Ritzenhein have the HS 3200m record before Fernandez? Or did someone else set it before Fernandez?

  • Verzbicas will beat it someday

  • @hibbitish omg haha that's exactly what I'm thinking, I think he'll break the 4 minute mile in high school probably, and he probably would've won foot locker as a freshmen if he ran it.

  • @hibbitisH HECK YEA MAN THAT GUY HIT 14:18 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ....AS A FRESHMAN!!!

  • I think that you're probably thinking of Lukas Verzbicas. This is a completely different guy.

  • It's good that high school runners are stepping up again.

  • That's what you call a runner!

  • WTF. Our school record is 10 something! Your too beast!

  • lol do you go to some rural farm school or something?

  • Comment removed

  • @jaimelikecrazy high school?

  • i think his lungs just dont get as compressed as bad or as fast as a normal person so he can run longer. my body is so athletic it i can sprint laps all day, the only thing that stops me i my lungs get compressed so im forced to stop so i can breathe. when i work out now the only thing i work out is my lungs, how long can i push my lungs

  • yeah german fernandez and jordan hasay the best male and female runners the U.S. has to offer, both CALIFORNIA grown suckas!they'll be the best someday...

  • @durite22 Nah, they have to compete with the Kenyan and Etheopian grown runners that run faster than this in the steeplechase. 

  • looks like hes jogging

  • so now countries can set records?

  • haha

  • the guy in the black after the race has really long legs

    daddy long legs lol

  • It wasn't a national record. It's ridiculous to say that a time over 8:40 could have been the national 3200 record considering people had run faster times in the two mile. Of course German broke Nelson's two mile record at nationals.

  • Yeah, I agree; I think the reason why 8:41 was the record for the 3200 meters, even though the record for the 2 mile run was 8:36 is because at the time Jeff Nelson set the record, there wasn't a 3200 meter run yet. I don't think they got his 3200 meter time back then. It's good that Fernandez broke his record a few weeks later.

  • There was no such thing as the 3200 when Jeff was running, and ya that was very impressive seeing as Jeff held it for 30 years

  • Guy who got 2nd in this race came back to win it this year.

  • Indiana has a freshman that ran a 9:11 in their state meet . He might.....might have a chance to run 8:30 by his senior year. But that's a long way off

    Hat's off to German....unreal

  • well he could be taking some kind of performance enhancer since they don't check for that stuff in highschool. I think they should test him to see if hes legit, even though he is a god in xc as well.

  • me too :(

  • has this guy been tested for steroids? Hes dominating too much for this to be legit. But damn hes hella fast!

  • steroids would make a runner slower

  • well that's why i changed my comments to say performance "enhancers"

  • The two mile second place(9:05) in my state is on my team and he throws up after every race.

  • that's unbelievable

  • lol im in 8th grade and my best time is 12:21

  • ur fat

  • ur an idiot

  • why r u fat too? did i offend u cuz ur fat! ur gay!

  • lol he beat our 4x800 relay, we had 8:40, that just makes me feel slow :\

  • ill rape ya'll in the 3200m

  • Okay fucking idiot, running distance is always about pushing it to the max, this isn't a run in a park. What an intelligent runner would say is -" it's about relaxing, racing your own race and trying your best." People are always going to be faster and there is nothin to do about that, if u go out too fast you're just going to burn out and run a slower race. And yes I'm only 14, but this next month I'm going to be state champion with a time of 8:50 for the 3000m.

  • im sorry but im gonna call bullshit on that

    anyone can say that especially if your 14

    proof?

  • running a 8:50???? at 14???? there's no way..................if that is true, then your body is already fully developed, you won't get that much faster in the years to come.

  • yea ok sure ya will buddy

  • bull...

  • your fucking stupid, of course it matters who can run the fastest. Depending on the calibur of the meet I'm pretty sure even though they don't have to, runners at this age can kill themselves. That's one of the dumbest comments I've seen to date.

  • mi idolo

    i still love andrew ray

  • LOL "my nose itches" xD

  • must suck so bad for the guys tryin to pass german..

    i run and man does it suck when ur in a situation like the one these guys behind german are

  • what situation? running against someone you know you won't beat...?

  • omg thats always the worst part of track.. especially when i'm on a relay team and since i run anchor, if the rest of the team puts us in last place theres no way i can ever catch up. so even though im running really fast because the other team members got us in last i cant pass up people :[

  • dont try an take the lead fool....save your self ahahahahahah

  • O.O insane

  • German Fernandez also ran a 4:00 mile. It shows that he keeps an amazing pace because each lap for the 2 mile is only four seconds faster. And if he gets an 8:34, then what is wrong with taking the lead? It's not like he will tire out, because he can endure a ton of pain.

  • 3.55

  • I was talking about hs

  • @nickdabeast95

    the guy in the video was talking about the other runner trying to move up in the field, not German.

  • some of you people are retarted, so what if he took the lead, thats how you set records, you know your pace and you get out in front other wise you get trapped when you have 12 runners surronding you, and just because he is amazing doesnt mean hes on steriods, lagat isnt on steriods and he runs like a 3:57 mile

  • You call that hate and superiority? Not even close. I've heard worse than that.

  • How the hell can someone run a 4:00 1600m, then an 8:34 3200m?

    Jeez.

  • @drofmotfilms He was 4:18 after the first 1600m...

  • @Zolio6 He ran the 4:00 in the 1600m earlier in the meet, I wasn't referring to his split, haha.

  • @tomfordvideo Well what are you trying to insinuate? Should he have run it faster or slower?

  • You know your fast when you lap people at State!

  • lol no -.- haha he is mexican i think

  • Hopefully he will become america's next ditance prodigy in the olympics. He has alot of training to do until then though.

  • If he continues to break records, he might get a chance to run in the Olympics. I saw him in a invitational meet and ran against him! He is like an Olympian runner!

  • this boy must be ran for his life on Tijuana´s border. the most good trainer.

  • german is my homeboy .. go RIVERBANK!!!

  • you didn't move over for him? lol

  • you are a star. feel proud. haha, and your time, i am guessing is just sub 10 minutes? still quite respectable

  • uh no buddy, his time was sub 9 minutes, it was 8:34. Simply Amazing

  • um no buddy, i was talking to the guy who said he was in yellow and got lapped.

    dumb ass

  • ok my bad, but dont you ever fucking disrespect me like that motherfucker, fucking keyboard warrior.

  • i know i was like please kid move over

    fucking a... but his passing is flawless anyway,

    hah

    did you know he was getting a national record

  • who knows? who cares? this kid is a cross country runner...can ohio's state record holder beat the 3200m national record? 32 hundred! this is a remarkable feat. Phenomenal Pace

  • ohio's state record for an 800 is 1:50.02

    whats this kids best time?

  • Yeah and German just ran 3:56. How are your Ohio boys doing?

  • this fool use to cheat off me in chemistry!! haha. hes cool though.

  • nice you should be honored

  • This kid is just Amazing its unbelievable!

  • I could shoot up like crazy before a race and I still wouldn't touch this kid.

  • um no. You are an ignorant fool. I'm still fighting to break 10 lol. That is a combination of great genes and hard work along with probably a few miracles.

  • You have to respect the way he runs...giving it his all and taking the lead from the start.

  • Comment removed

  • thts exactly what Steve Prefontaine did, he was probaly the best runner in history

  • he was most entertaining ....

    r.i.p.

  • I'm jealous of his talent.

  • he went to my school

    i used to love see guys try to keep up wit him even though they were dying inside

  • he doesnt have much of a kick.....

    JP!!!!

    i know this has been said probably a million times but he is beastly

  • I thought the national HS record had been Jeff Nelson's 8:36.3? And I think Craig Virgin ran an 8:40. So where's this 8:41 coming from?

  • i think from Dathan Ritzenhein

  • @jaredprunty Yah it was Jeff who had the record.

  • Well German is a very good runner. Its all GENETICS though.. And that 2nd place guy will defenetly win STATE in 2009. I know him..(Shwartz).. German won Beat the CIF STATE Cross Country record which i attended and witnessd him Do IT!! it was amazing!

  • i was there when it happened!

    he's amazing and really inspiring!

    + i met him!

  • He is a great runner, no doubt about that..

    But, you guys act like 2nd place and 3rd place are some no shows.

    2nd place guy is only a Junior at Foothill High in Bakersfield, who ran under 9:00, and won the Division 1 State Meet for Cross Country.

    Next year Chris Shwartz will easily win 1st at this race next year, but I don't think will break German's record.

  • Just so people know, its not National Record, Its a High School record, a sick one a that. I believe he broke this record at Nationals

  • me n my bro no him. they went to skool 2gether and played for rhs with my eachother

  • this dude is a stud, beast, the man, and one heck of a runner!

  • no wait prefontaine ran the 2 mile not the 3200 my bad XP and the 2 mile record's changed too so nvm what i just said

  • 3200 and 2 mile...same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 3200 and the 2 mile are not the same thing. That is a common mistake a lot of runners get wrong. Same thing applies for the 1600 and the mile. The mile and the 2 mile are slightly longer distances than that 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Maybe about 1-1.5 second difference in the mile and about 2-3 second difference in the 2 mile.

  • one mile = 1609 meters

    two miles = 3218

    9 more meters is about 10 more yards which is over a one second difference. 18 more meters is about 20 more yards which can make a 3 second difference.

  • wow what a coincidence. prefontaine broke it by 7 seconds in the the late 60's or early 70's and now this kid beats pre's record by 7 seconds!

  • whoa...

    im speechless

  • Let's hope he can take down the national 2-mile record (8:36).

    Fernandez 3200 converts to around 8:37.

    I think he can do it, especially since he ran a 4:00 flat 2 hours? before.

  • What if Fernandez' nose itches? Some people are so inconsiderate

  • The dudes getting lapped should move out of the way, lol.

  • this kid is unbelievable. great race.

  • this guy is amazing!!!!!!!!!

  • god i wish he ran the mile at prefontaine classic

  • I know, he might have gotten top 10

  • i need to quit smoking

  • You make me look like a noob....

    Good stuff!!! That guy is crazy!!

  • is he racing the two mile at NON?
