Can I Win Nationals? | Race Reaction

I ran at NCAA XC Nationals and got 4th place! Not a breakout race but definitely the best cross race I've ever had!

Boycotting NCAA

[@user-fp5co6qn7h]

Don’t worry yaseen, imma take my talent elsewhere because of the NCAA being petty (I never broke 5 in HS and I only run like 3 miles a week these days)😭

[@EzraSchroeder]

15:28 it was right there. No differences needed in preparation. You could win any race. It is 100% belief at this point.

[@edgarharo4183]

finally dude, i was looking for someone to call him out on his doubt cause it sounded like he was trying to find reasons why he couldn’t till seeing the 4 sec gap at the end. He can win any race atp it’s just mental

adding this video to my treadmill playlist going into a breakout track season, inspirational yaseen best college cross race ive ever watched

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

good luck man! I appreciate that!

To all who think that we have witnessed peak Yaseen, I promise, this isn't the peak. The best is yet to come. 3k national title coming soon.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

[@EzraSchroeder]

21:06 you absolutely could have won. & That means it is absolutely realistic & reasonable to shoot for 3000m/5000m/10,000m NCAA titles from here on out & NCAA records. Don't beat yourself up about not winning this one. A few years ago foggdogg was my favorite NCAA KZbin channel. This one is currently my favorite.

Thanks for cheering! 😂

[@jasonperlmutter4402]

Fun commentary. The one thing I would disagree with is that the commentators were also surprised Schubert was up that high. Yeah the guy had a good resume but this was a break-through similar to your one. Thanks for sharing your post race thoughts. Great performance to mix it up with the big boys, which now makes you one of them. You beat some incredible harriers.

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

literally 😂 jk thanks for saying that though

[@EzraSchroeder]

commented here 13 days ago that NCAA titles & records are possible. & now the 3,000m record was taken down by Abdalla, who did 100% of the work from the rabbit peeling off till he was overtaken by a couple of guys who got near the top of the usa all time chart indoors/outdoors. Here's something interesting i noticed about Nico Young's 2023 BU Season opener at the same meet in December compared with Yaseen Abdalla's from today: Nico Young @ BU December 2023 {7:37 + 13:22}; Yaseen Abdalla @ BU December 2024 {7:34 + 13:22}

I was taught to press the hill going up and press the hill going down bc either way on the way down your recovering. 1. It’s no more taxing on your legs 2. It’s a Jedi mind trick on your opponents. ( goal: breaking there will)

Great job!!

I saw the fall at 5k on the livestream but they seemingly cut it out of the replay. weird... that was the most interesting part of the race

[@genius1320]

Your hair reminds me of one of my favorite artists(first thing I noticed watching the NCAA original video), is that where it comes from at least partially. Curious why you chose that style to stand out?

[@yaseenabdalla8713]

No but I find a lot of stuff lines up like that. I like X if that’s who you mean. People tell me that me throwing my medal was reminiscent of Muhammad Ali throwing his Olympic medal in a river which I didn’t know until after. Very serendipitous.

Great job yaseen!! we are proud of you! 5k champ indoor and outdoor? can i ask what is your incline set to on your treadmill for your runs?
