They're not all freshman. Just Lukas Verzbicas.

[maniaclatdisciple]

lukas is 16 years old he may be a freshman buthe moved with his family from lithuania and started school late so he's not that impressive he's 16 ignore the fact hes a freshman hes 16!!! 16!!. by his senior year he'll be 19 years old or 20 he was 16 in indoor so he might be older. while the guy that has the two mile record at 8.34, german fernadez ran it when he was 17 years old

[XCisAwesome]

I'll admit its sort of B.S. that it counts as a Freshman record because he was 16 when he ran this, but just thinking in general as a 16 year old, an 8:53 is outstanding. He knew people would complain about his old age and therefore chose to skip a grade. Notice how in 2009, he won footlocker as a "sophomore", but then the next year in 2010, he won footlocker as a "senior". Therefore, he won it as a true senior. And he set his 2 mile high school record as an average aged senior.

@maniaclatdisciple stop bitching about his age. not that impressive? most 16 year olds cant come close to that time. he was the age of a sophomore in this vid. its still impressive at the age of a sophomore to run that. ure just jealous...and btws, he was only 18 his senior year cause he skipped a grade anyway

[cwarcarblue11]

if this is 2009, he's not a freshman...

[RunninAD]

@delewareboy Does anyone know that he has now broken 4 minutes.....

[siddu9898]

Is he human?

[Pangolinist]

I'd love to race him in an 800, wonder how well he'd do in that.

[hismercyskateboards]

@dan04k13 a 3:59.72

[xHunterXIV]

Lukas is now a 8:29 2 miler and a 3:59 miler



[Sagora123]

wait what grade was he in in this video

[geto235]

@maniaclatdisciple Yeah I guess you're right if you look at it as a freshman record, it would be nearly impossible for it be broken, but if you just look at it as just a high school time it would win state in any state.
