Men's 1500m - 2016 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship

[@jazzyjay4595]

From NCAA 1500 champion to Olympic 800 bronze medalist, all in the same year

[@sarcasticslowking9149]

This race was so stacked and we didn’t even know it at the time 😂

[@thelongrun5077]

Clayton is now taking it up with Akron about their program being cut, and I say good for him! They need to keep running there

[@ericlukan]

If you think about it, Josh Kerr and Craig Engels got destroyed in this race, and they were World Championship qualifiers in 2019

[@Meepmeep452]

Exactly what I was thinking!!

[@MattAnyiwo]

3 years of solid training made them Way better than what they were in 2016

[@michaelsanderson7823]

Kerr was also only 18 or 19 back then so a bit of natural development would’ve helped too

[@benanastasoff8980]

And now Kerr is an Olympic medalist

[@agustinflores4702]

And now he's the WORLD CHAMPION!

[@ryancherry8250]

4 of these guys signed to Brooks Beasts and 3 of them were in the top 4, nice grabs Brooks

[@michaelsanderson9562]

And the 4th went on to win 3 NCAA titles and break the collegiate 1500m record

[@eliasbergman7961]

Brooks really recruited everyone from this class

[@waldenh7668]

Most of these guys went pro

[@blastedpotato]

Now half of that field are in the Brooks Beasts lmao

[@spencerwencer4237]

Yorks from UW made that race what it was, going out in the first 400m in sub-57 was amazing

[@benbutcher6535]

this field was stacked

[@lerrygindgren2076]

this was maybe a second (probably less at the time) off the ncaa record in the championship final, wow

[@jgt1120]

And so much of it was the last lap, which makes it even more crazy

[@andrearatkovic4048]

Murphy ‘walks away from the guys’😂. For real though! Always love watching bide his time then look fresh and fancy as he blows by.

[@bryanryder7196]

Finally my prayers have been answered

[@meyiotn8575]

2:00 that high jump was insane

[@Volleybalex]

Fr tho 😂😮‍💨

[@joewachtman9436]

best championship race i’ve seen so far. anyone know any better ones?

[@Luke-js2ek]

top 7 all current pros wow

[@alejandrotorres712]

“Hey I’m going for my afternoon jog where I plan to win NCAAs in a near collegiate record. Anyone wanna join me?”

[@alexiamoreno8283]

Too bad the Akron xc program got cut. :/

[@SubscriberswithnovideosC-ok7wv]

How tf do they go that fast. Ik they train a lot but it’s still hard to imagine maintains that speed for that distance.

[@ltcolumbo9708]

L8ve this guy's technique

[@jalen.austin]

That's a very fast time

[@jazzyjay4595]

1:32 that’s Sam Prakel not Blake Haney, you guys have one job

[@landyncb8751]

they corrected it

[@jazzyjay4595]

Landyn Cooke-Bithrey later on but still. It’s not my job to commentate these races but I can tell the difference between Prakel and Haney in an instant

[@josephcarroll2124]

so stacked

[@snakey973]

And then Akron got rid of their running programs....

[@ApplePi31415]

That looked so easy

[@torontoclarinetist]

WHAT HAPPENED AT 1:15? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

[@turnerburger]

Bruh there are like 6 current pros in this race and 4 of them are on the Brooks Beasts lmao

[@zachhooper6292]

1:19 was the guy in white disqualified for pushing the other guy out our did red drop out himself?

[@blainejohnson9954]

4 future brooks beats in this race

[@leoolivares3261]

“Im just a kid from akron”

[@natetweedy8024]

Hey ya all Jesus loves you! I hope that news makes your day better! Have a good one!

[@landonboddy5983]

Imagine the time if this was a mile race.

[@sketchyteen4052]

Not for sissies? Rethink your commentary.

[@landyncb8751]

when did he say that? (im not saying he didnt i honestly didnt hear)

[@sketchyteen4052]

1:07

[@NCAAChampionships]

Agreed. You're not wrong.

[@landyncb8751]

Yeah I've never really liked that commentator

[@user-ty5em5lh6g]

@@NCAAChampionships If you agree, then it should have been edited out or not posted...unless you wanted public support to point for his removal
