11 Year Old Runner Attempts Mile Time World Record

[@matthewkubler05]

Crazy how he ran in lane 2 the entire race whilst dodging others!

[@justinbloomer]

824m for the first 2 laps

[@Skibidibobobeebop]

Ikr! Felt bad for him lol

[@Bweyg]

@@justinbloomer So he basically ran 4:43 right? Since it was in lane 2 and he had extra meters to run?

[@devv8645]

What a legend. When your comparing someone to Jakob Ingebrigsten, you know they're insane. Hoping this kid can stay consistent and keep improving if thats what he wants

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

About 15 years ago I watched a very competitive 11-year old run a 3000 at this same series. She is now a European indoor champion and is competing tonight in Eugene for UK as Amy-Eloise Markovic...running dreams come true with work and perseverance.

[@darlingrunnerpt3342]

Awesome Spencer that you are giving back and helping the up and coming runners. 👍

[@SpeedyBlueBiker1]

Great video and kudos to SB for taking time out of his day to help this kid out!

[@tonymichaelmonchinski2624]

Great work can't wait for the fact that as time goes on his kick is going to get better and better

[@Notnotcam]

“Pretty happy”

[@cicirunner]

This kid will be the new Athlete Special and take over Spencer's channel. This is no laughing matter.

[@nathanpresswood15]

LeTtTtTtTsSsSs GoOoOoOooOo, well I'm glad I have some content to watch while I'm out with COVID, it really means a lot!

[@gdogrun]

Nice job of giving back, good to see you are helping to mentor upcoming runners! And lastly, poor Georgie. Traumatized forever...

[@sgtcreynolds]

Those adults couldn't give the kid the inside lane? I guess they didn't want to get beat by an 11 yr old. Smh

[@rohanprabhu6820]

i mean true but also its a competition and this kid is a top tier athlete so adults should treat him as if he is an adult

[@nataliebriggs4640]

@@rohanprabhu6820 still tho

[@JoeMac1983]

Why make it easy on the kid? Adversity is the fire that drives successful people. You hand him the inside lane without making him fight for it and he'll get soft. Show him the math of how much further he had to run in lane 2 and how much faster his time could have been and he'll learn quickly how to be a better tactician and how to either be a front runner or a kicker (depending on the competition) after getting experience like this.

[@Bweyg]

@@JoeMac1983 Also couldn't he have done a solo time trial while Spence paced him? That would have been another solution as well.

[@anthonybotonis5841]

Great run kid. Awesome time... my son is 12 yrs old and runs 800m 1500m and anything up to 5km. He raced his 1st mile at a track challenge and got a 4.37. Looked up the world record for a 12yr old mile and its 4.35 so not far off and is currently running sub 4.20 for 1500m. He will be 13 in june 2024 so hopefully he geta a crack at it by then. All the best Quinton keep kickn goals

[@jeezlouise2296]

ok im here from the future and this man has all the world records.

[@Routy-Trout]

I was also 11 last year but run for westpoint!!! We both live in Utah… I bet we will be each other in the mile… guess I have tough competition!!!!!!

[@stevelau7694]

Definitely special. My fastest mile PR as an adult is 5:22 which is pretty good for normal people but its hard to imagine a child finish half a lap faster than me being 6ft,165 in my best condition with hardly any body fat. Some people are just gifted

[@JaySizz]

pretty cool all around, good job

[@SUB-4]

I’m 13 and ran 4:59 at an all comers meet this guy is seriously fast.

[@henrybaun]

Holy smokes. Mad respect to you Quinton

[@runninggirl2765]

Wonderful aerobic ability and pacing for his age. When he grows taller, he should be able to sharpen his form. As he is, he's a big talent.

[@JohnThomas-de7on]

Quenton just ran a 4:35 mile to get the 12 year old world record. Keep it up, young man!

[@CN-nl5cl]

Yeah, it was a crazy race… pacer pushing him on at the end gave me chills!

[@anthonybotonis5841]

So he has the 4.35.. great work. My son raced his 1st ever mile race 1month ago and he is 12 and got a 4.37 looked up the record and saw a 4.35 WR great job👏👏. My son mainly runs 1500m here in australia but there are acouple of mile meets through the year so he may get a crack at it again

[@quentintheriot18]

Insane! I didn’t hit 4:45 in the mile till I was 16. This kids going to be something if he puts in work. Lmao he should go to Newbury Park and run because the Young family was insane at Newbury Park.

[@carly64]

And that is a great video!

[@basehead617]

Wow, I remember at my middle school, the mile record was 5:45 (set by a kid in our class) - all the school records for various events were on a board in the hallway.. that would be about this kid's age..

[@icropper12]

i have a teammate that was in the heat before him at junior olympics, he broke a record and it was pretty cool. he has AWESOME potential

[@tonylittle3508]

Could not believe the amount of runners on the track! He spent most of the race 2-wide & boxed-in, so may have been able to do it if given a better run.

[@nomaderic]

Great job young man, honestly think you would have gotten it if there weren't others in your way. It's all good though you're 11 man, you have yet to scratch the surface of what you'll accomplish. Never heard of you until now but you've got a new fan in me

[@andym1594]

Well done. My 7th -12th grade mile PR times were 5:20, 4:56, 4:36, 4:24, 4:10 and 4:08 (the last being a true mile at Golden West). I went to a school that didn't even have a surfaced track, though my coaching and intensity was atypical. What is amazing is those times will sit on a wall for 20 years as untouchable and then some kid will look at them and decide it's his mission to beat them. It's always impressive to see the next generation take those records further.
