Men’s 5000m Final - 2023 NCAA outdoor track and field championships

This is the type of racing I love. Thank you Nico for keeping the race honest

[@veo111]

sacrificed his race for it

[@cryo9216]

😂 Are you kidding? They ran the first two miles as if it was a 10-miler. Nothing honest about that. And there's nothing "sacrificial" about running the last mile faster than the first two snail-paced miles. 😂

[@cooperneeble2712]

Props to Nico for making a bold move to try and break apart the stagnant race. I feel if he waited just one more lap to make it he might’ve had a great chance to win it

[@patricklambe4403]

yeah it was way to tactical and slow all those guys could run faster.

[@americanpatriot6574]

Ky Robinson is the 14th man to win both the 5k and 10K

[@StanfordFan-jn1dp]

Will be interesting to see how Hicks and Robinson do in XC this Fall...Hicks, of course, won the 2022 National and Robinson came in 10th. Maybe they can beat NAU this year.

[@masonlawless5478]

if cole stays healthy stanford will be nasty

[@StanfordFan-jn1dp]

@@masonlawless5478 true. And Nico's twin brothers chose to go to Stanford rather than NAU. Robinson has one more year and Hicks two so Stanford will have some front runners this year and next...and, if the Young twins blossom, the sky is the limit. And then there is Cole...

Pov: chillin the whole race and then opening up your stride with a lap to go. Sheeeeeesh

[@doloreschansey9556]

28:10 10k and 14:04 5k, in the championships. Essentially the same pace for the 5 k as the 10k, and it could have been much faster. Ky got a little bit of a break, but you never know what is going to happen in these long distance races. Sometimes the pace is very honest, sometimes it is a sit and kick, like this one was.

[@zk4761]

If it wasn't for Nico's surge it woud've been slower. Surprised Fay didn't unleash his kick off such a slow pace.

[@davidhancock6057]

Being the father of a Harvard grad, I rooted for Graham Blanks. He ran a tough, smart race. Within the last 500 meters, I saw him tip his head to initiate his move twice. Congratulations to him on earning second place in this race!

[@ultraollie]

[@candidone8544]

Unless there was action like Nico Young's spurt, not much of the middle race mattered. Nico's surge made the race, altering strategies. It didn't faze Ky Robinson as much as the others.

[@blastedpotato]

The pitcher? Oh, that’s Cy Young.

[@zk4761]

Nico would probably place better at US Nationals because it will be a faster pace.

[@thomashaydon5300]

[@Jack-iu3gt]

I mean they jogged for 2 miles until Nico made the move, they couldn’t have cared less about the time.

[@ayeeffvee8173]

yeah so that holds no merit as conditions were different and these guys didn’t start trying whatsoever until after 3k

[@domp5882]

Not even comparable. Kipyegon would’ve ran 14:40 in this race, she ain’t closing in 4:04 last 1600 lol

[@pugsnhogz]

you ever wonder if runners could be faster if they had no teeth and could mouthbreathe more efficiently?

[@RCFSULAW]

This is a terrible race. The runners with worse kicks dud not take out the pace to deaden legs thus guaranteeing kickers would win or place better. This was another idiotic tactical race where runners self sabotaged better finishes

[@gorillababy1235]

Nico went with 4 laps which is a pretty decent tactic to try and get away from ky. I wouldn’t say it’s a terrible race. Ky is just very very strong and light more than being a kicker although he has a decent kick. But yes I guess the fresh guys should have just tried to run fast from start (13.30 pace) to dead doublers legs

[@RCFSULAW]

@@gorillababy1235 That's the problem. They turned a 5K into a mile race

[@jo_cho]

@@RCFSULAW to be fair, the conditions weren't very ideal for a fast time. (temperature)

[@jzkramer]

@@RCFSULAW Well then how come the 10K runner won and not the milers? Your logic is terrible.

[@RCFSULAW]

@@jzkramer Your an idiot. Because the 10K runner is a 3:51 miles and used his miler kick in both races. Kai Robinson happens to be good at every distance. The rest are not. For example, Charles Hicks does not have good miler speed and neither does Nick Young who has run a 13:11 5K. Both would have benefited from a quicker pace as most of the top 8 would not have been there with a mile to go. I know a he'll of a lot more about training and race strategy than you do and the consensus I have seen is this strategy racing allow g whole fields opportunities. Just like tonight. In the 1500 the best runners should try to run Tuohy's legs dead in the 1500 as she wants a slower pace to benefit her 5000 later. People like you don't have a clue. This is why in many open races teams like Washington enter a miler in the 5K to take the pace out quick and he drops between 2 and 3K so the pace is honest and it does not become another mile race. There are no International meets upcoming where you will see anything like this. The only stupidity might occur in the US Championships. If it does the top 3 in those events 1500 and up will be destroyed at Worlds. Kai Robinson will do great though. Running for Australia. Hicks can go top 10 in the 10K at Worlds but only because other countries runners are capped at 3. Hicks is the one that needs a fast 10K pace at US nationals or he will be staying home. This is the same reason McDonald lost in the steeplechase to a runner he dominated all year.
