[@Art.ASMR-You2]

That was a great race

[@wileyschmitt]

The guy who held the lead for the first 3 laps is a very unusual runner (probably why he was tapped out toward the end) but it's very strange in comparison to the other runners and looks like he's barely even moving along (yet he's out in front), plus he's a HUGE heel striker. Not too bad though considering, and still runs a decent time nonetheless.

[@jasonjennings8465]

I agree. Ankles over knees during a race. This guy seemed like he didn't want to use the full motion or power of his legs.

[@scrumpymanjack]

I agree. Horrific style. Doesn't look like a runner at all, actually. Also seems to have all the wrong body shape for middle distance. Still, kudos to him for getting to the finals etc. etc.

[@diizzya1343]

There was a kid from my district that should have made it to state and probably would have won. It was his senior year and he was running around 3:30 in the 1600m with no competition and 1:57 in the 800m with no competition. From what I heard though at regionals Valley View(a team in my region) had 3 kids qualify for regionals in the 800m, and so to make sure that 2 of them would go to state the third one spiked the kid from my district. That's at least what I heard. I don't know if it was intentional, but it definitely made him run a slower time and allowed the other two valley view kids qualified for state in the 800m and kept the kid from my district from getting to state in the 800m and the 1600m.

[@xhshgfsrodriguez4857]

3:30 in the 1600 is literally 13 seconds faster than the world record. Maybe you meant 4:30 lol
