Luis Grijalva Dominates Final Laps In

[@Jake_Ritter]

Luis can definitely run even faster than that, he made 3:53 look easy. Clearly he was holding back the first bit.

[@marvinrolandolarioshernand2619]

Super Luis heres grande

[@isaacbetancourt3646]

He looked so smooth, can't wait for the world championships

[@mrnoobyman12345]

That was the smoothest 3:53 I have ever seen, holy moly!

[@marcweeks9178]

Congratulations, Luis! Our family used to see you running around Fairfield and Suisun when you went to Armijo High School (we lived about 4 blocks away). This race is going to give you a lot of confidence when those last laps arrive in the 5000.

[@angelfoxpro]

Increíble lo de Grijalva. 💪 🇬🇹

[@oswaldomendoza3589]

Viva Guatemala

Luis Grijalva Guatemala 🇬🇹👏🏃

[@odrauderojas2576]

What a race: 8 runners under 4:00! Congratulations from Chile.

[@RavishingSailor]

I’m so stoked for him!! Looked very strong as if he could have gone a lot faster.

[@reinaldosalazar3861]

[@ethan.wroblewski]

He’s just warming up, his workout is after this😂🔥

[@kimobailey2926]

He was the 1 highschool runner in the entire state of California, Luis Grijalva !!!

[@albertolopezdavila1755]

Record Nacional de la milla que una vez tuve en 4:11 indoors, felicitaciones Luis.

[@Lscott-fk2sn]

Los aplaudo a los dos 👏👏👏

Luis said "look at me, im the rabbit now"

[@franciscomoran268]

Excelente así se hace paisano.

[@seatownfan]

I never really thought he would develop like this, it is pretty amazing. Much better speed than I thought he had 🙂💨

[@isiaslucas-fj5ik]

bravo luis grijalva arriva guatemala

[@produccionesBC]

Orgullo Guatemalteco

[@scottlaplantelaplante990]

Very, very good. Smooth, relaxed, and fast!

[@emiliajuarez619]

WOW que orgullo

[@jimmythefish]

If he’s that smooth at 3:53 he’ll be a monster 5k runner. EDIT: It appears he already is. Even faster in the future I’m sure.

[@ayeeffvee8173]

Yeah! He’s got a lot of years left to improve

[@latinoromulo]

A 13:02 last year.

[@leorunsoregon2082]

So relaxed after the race too!

[@imi_obvious]

he doesn't even look tired

[@GeoAce777]

distinct running style, always fun to watch

[@randyevermore9323]

Yes. He's perfectly balanced. So his legs turn like wheels beneath him. He doesn't bound from one leg to the other, as so many others do. And his power comes from a forward drive of the thighs (hip flexion) rather than from driving off from the feet. So his ground-contact time is probably relatively short. Fascinating to watch.

[@jonathanalcantara3385]

Complete blitz! And didn’t even look tired afterward!

[@Notnotcam]

Homie immediately went to put his trainers on. Easily one of the fittest in the world right now

[@tonycruz9026]

Warrior Mode!!! Let's Go Luis!!! 🏃......... 🏅 🌞 🌴

Congrats Luis.......3.53 is hella fast indoors. Outdoors too.

Just another NAU Lumberjack crushing it! Right on Luis!

Loving that NAU legacy.

[@ezequielhernandez1576]

Yes sir Arizona yea

[@stephendenney7349]

Is the Hoka track club to which he belongs based in Davis, CA, close to his hometown of Fairfield?

[@ObedGuedezComunidadLlanera]

Vamos Venezuela que si se puede ❤️🇻🇪

Dude just tempo a 3:53?

[@LazedMusic]

Was 2:56 at 400 to go, damn

[@ethancurnow3868]

Man was floating

[@korethoe262]

smooth and fast. Tonight I'll run some 7-minute miles. I'll look slow and old. great.

[@bigredactionsportsstuff1245]

His form is so upright compared to the others, I wonder if he is leaving some time on the table.

[@chrisdunfield513]

I also think he's smart not to waste upper body motion. His arms stay high, and he doesn't swing them very much. Looks like it's all part of the plan.

[@leomurillo9381]

Don't forget that he came 4th in the 5000 meters final at the Olympic games in 2020! Wait for the world championships, I guarantee that he will be up there with Jakov Ingebretsen, Mohamed Katir and Joshua Cheptegei. Luis is a very dangerous man!

[@hampster282]

In the 5000m he came 4th in the world champs in 2022. 12th in the Olympics in 2021.

[@oswaldomendoza3589]

Good

[@flash1506]

He has some wheels

[@EricS-uf9mv]

Why the heck did the pacer step into lane 2 and then just STOP??? The dude nearly caused a pile up. If you're pacing, either step off or run out wide to lane 8. But jeez whatever you do, don't just STOP in middle of lane 1, 2, or 3.

[@GeoAce777]

ridiculous

[@giannygalindo6730]

I’ve never seen him sprint

[@John-ge2ne]

Louis Grijalva is able to run it under 3 :45.

[@rolandleslie2564]

His face and legs tell different stories in this race

[@DoubleDRescueSled]

Question, what’s with all the trash/white paper that is always littering the infield of tack meets?

[@sweptdown4264]

hip numbers

[@DoubleDRescueSled]

@@sweptdown4264 Maybe the track crew could provide some trash cans …. Just a thought.

[@gotohellpunk]

Love this guy wish him all the success in the world

[@oilguy777]

Looking solid. Hoping US Immigration is at least a little more lenient with him this year.

[@iancollinge2254]

that looked way to easy for him, he was hardly breathing at the end?!

[@ramonazteca252]

why not just put a mechanical rabbit out in front? maybe with a hundred dollar bill on it.
