Nico Young's Incredible State Championship 3200m [Full Race]

Watch more CA State Championship races here: bit.ly/37SKY7X
Newbury Park's Nico Young ripped off a series of 66-second laps to leave the elite field in the dust and won the 2019 CIF Outdoor State Championships 3200m in 8:47. Young's time is the fastest winning time since Riverbank's German Fernandez set the meet record of 8:34.23 in 2008 and the sixth fastest winning time dating to 1965.

This is the type of 3200m I like to watch, working hard the entire time. Not like the boring strategic pro runs that are literally a 300m race where they jog the 1st 2900m and who ever has the best kick wins.

Der Beste Mensch For athletes of their caliber it is a jog. He’s saying it’s not entertaining from a fan’s perspective to watch pros run slowly (by their standards) then kick, he’s not trying to compare himself with them.

[@christansdad]

The kid that got lapped is probably running a sub 10 minute 2-mile pace (which is outstanding) but when someone runs sub 9 minutes and puts together 65-67 second laps it is inevitable that you will be lapped.

shout out to eric reynolds, camarillo HS in 1982. it was the SS finals where i saw him run a 8:50 and destroy everyone. he was the nico young of his day, and obviously could give nico a run for his money, or the other way around.

[@SAMG20000]
