Nico Young's BLISTERING KICK Wins 5k Races Against Brother Lex Young

[@Horizons9406]

The fact that they said “Nico still got it” makes him sound like old news and he already past his prime. Yes his little brothers surpass him doesn’t mean his legacy is gone.

[@sawgames8623]

Nico's form looks shot. His smooth stride is gone and he bounces now. It's as if he was too self-aware about his "form issues" and tried to overcorrect.

[@nsport44]

Suggesting a collegiate stand out would be pacing his high school brother is ridiculous

[@iguillo]

I was thinking the exact same thing!😂😂

[@kevinkasp]

I didn’t get it. If you’re going to finish in the middle of the pack or further back you don’t need an assigned pacer. You already have the entire pack plus the leaders to choose from who to fall in behind and get in sync with.

[@dashielcockrill998]

There brothers no matter if you a collegiate standout doing your brother a favor isn’t a crazy idea and Nico was pretty far back in the pack to start so that made it seem like maybe he wasn’t running to win but turns out it was just good tactics

[@machineofadream]

I mean, maybe it could happen, I just don't know why he thought that. Seemed like nothing but a huge assumption.

[@gseegrist6679]

Why would you not put the full time results in the video? I think we’d all like to see Leo Young’s time and the others who competed near the back.

[@brentburnett6658]

Nico won but wasn’t even close to his best or pb at 13:11 Lex is capable of doing better. More mental….nice part is he is getting tactical experience at the high school level….love the young’s and what np has done for all them brothers and team mates

[@LanceWinslow]

Agreed.

[@ethanpedersen8915]

Wow such a ballsy move from Soca at the end. That was 🔥

[@fieldofsleepcows]

is no one else in awe of the way nico slid his spikes off at the end??? how did they come off so easily? does he always keep them that loose? seems incredibly risky. or does he know something I don't?

[@n88te]

Or they’re just the spikes and stuff happens in track and field 🤷🏾‍♂️ idk just an assumption

[@jacksonshelby2460]

@@n88te what you said doesn’t make sense lol

[@alejandromartinez8340]

I have those spikes, you don’t really have to worry about tying them because the upper hugs yours foot really well. Kinda like slip ons, hence why they come out easily.

Nico! Alright!. The Young Family is one to be reckoned with!!!!

[@Fastnbulbous1969]

That was not a race against Lex. Lex wasn't remotely in contention. Such an annoyingly misleading title. Still Lex ran well, just off his 13:43.95 PR from last year. Look promising that he could break Rupp's 13:37.91 hs record later this season.

[@brentburnett6658]

Lex looked really good considering he was coming off of a injury.

[@banksj54]

yea it is a click bait title

[@johnwilson5743]

Firstly, it's easy to be a critic. However, if it's constructive, criticism can be helpful, IF it's valid. So, the tactics used by Will Smith in this race were completely stupid. I started watching him in the first few laps because I was thinking "Why is this moron running almost 2-3 lanes wide?" So I kept watching and he ran almost the entire race practically in the second lane, even on the bends. That's an extra 8 meters per lap. Now he wasn't quite in the second lane all the way, so on average he ran approx 6 meters per lap extra, for about 10 laps. Do you see where I'm going with this? That's around an extra 60 meters during the running of this race. Go back and watch him if you think I'm exagerating. Meaning, his tactical running was hopeless. Now pulling out to pass runners etc means we have to run wide... BRIEFLY. But to run wide all the way is just stupid.

[@santacruzfitnessofficial]

[@nooby6220]

58 seconds is NOT a blistering kick AND the title suggests Nico outkicked Lex. Lex wasn’t near him for the kick. No need for click-bait losers

[@brentburnett6658]

It was a kick but not blistering. Even a 54 is not sufficient when looking at a 52 from the likes of grant Kincaid and that gang. The way to win is to push the pace and take the kick out of it early. Even then you might still find a couple of runners willing to hang tight and kick

[@Thomas-fk3cw]

Nico doesn't have a kick. Never has, never will. He's an incredible runner, but he has no kick. You're totally correct. And p.s. the title did click bait me, because I was like holy S, has he developed a kick somehow? Nope.

[@brentburnett6658]

@@Thomas-fk3cw Nico did make a move and out kicked the field for the win. Blistering? No It wasn’t Nico fastest kick at a 58 but it was a nice move for the win. The overall time wasn’t event close to a pb. He run 13:11 5k Nico will need to develop a faster close and he can do that much like grant fisher or Kincaid had to do. Some of these pros are closing sub 54 and closer to 52 that win these big races. That is the type of kick Nico will need because fitness alone isn’t going to win it all. Too many can run the times but can they out kick when it counts…. Nico has the talent and drive to get there but will he do it before his twin brothers?

[@Thomas-fk3cw]

@Brent Burnett Yeah, Nico has always had extraordinary fitness and that has been the differentiator. But like you said, at some point you can't just run away from your competition because they are just as fit. But yes, he has run faster and probably still has upside. I just don't ever see him developing wheels and having some blistering closing kick. Anyway, definitely a huge talent.

[@brentburnett6658]

@@Thomas-fk3cw in theory, you can attempt to out run the competition from the gun. The problem with this strategy is when the pack hunts you down. The flip side is the pack sometimes doesn’t hunt down the breakaway runners. Fitness often becomes key to success because most events can have back to back to back qualifiers. Top runners with speed at the end can get trapped in the pack or spiked. What’s nice about Nico is we know he is fit and can push the best. He really out the pressure on Mantz. Mantz is a talent hit simply skipped final year for marathons. Might see him tune up with a 3000 meter race but we could debate Mantz and Nico as lacking that closing speed needed in track. Imagine when we talk about real speed it’s on the international pro level. As good as Jakob is … he has been out kicked. No Doubt that having a kick matters but there are ways to overcome that problem. Just run faster from beginning to start. If one must suffer why not suffer at the from vs the back of the pack.
