Mary Cain wins US Women's 1 Mile Indoor title - Universal Sports

[@closmasmas9080]

Watching this now makes me imagine the pain she is going through

[@redd605]

Just a few days ago Mary became a Irish citizen and can now run for Ireland in the Olympics games , European championships, world championship

[@jarretheller2244]

"...she is absolutely the future of American distance running." Eleven yr old Katelyn Touhy said "Challenge accepted".

@speedrunner784 you gotta chill out.

[@alisonmcdonald7342]

KOMROOK ok thanks for the input 😐

[@chloedostal6766]

They basically ran a warm-up 800, then raced the next 800 in 2:10

[@CarlosAllNight]

When everybody in the heat has a strong kick, this is the mile you end up with.

[@Awonderfulberry3]

All of them are such great runners, especially Cain, but I'm kinda surprised they didn't go faster tbh

[@MemphisApplegate]

I think future races with Cain may be faster, especially after the World Junior 3000 victory. Running slow until the last 200 is a bad idea with Cain running. However, it is a non-issue with some professional races, as they hire good pacers to lead the race.

[@vianna9803]

[@maddiemendes5204]

They only need to run to win, not their fastest every time, that’s what my dad told me

[@ddebenedictis]

@@maddiemendes5204 It's like when you and your buddies are being chased by a bear. You don't have to be faster than the bear, you just have to be faster than your buddies.

[@quadbravo]

5:05 mile with the first 1/4 mile at 83 sec and 2:55 at the half. Basically a slow jog for the first 1/4. Cain is the star of Bronxville HS. Insane level of talent for 16 year old girl.

[@LatrellHunter]

all these negative comments but as a middle distance runner myself I acknowledge that no one wanted to take the lead. I've been in 1500m races in college where no one wanted to take the lead and I refused to be the rabbit so we went out 2:26 first 800 and finished 4:12. stuff like this happens all the time. and I'm a 3:53 guy for the 1500. most of the guys in that race were decent sub 4 guys but it was conference and it turned tactical.

[@Shabangin]

Damn, I thought she was going to beat my time, what kind of title is this.

[@ThePotterFanfictioner]

Tactical race...

[@MarvelousLunatix]

This is so crazy... I used to run cross country with Cain, not that I was any good, but it's just weird to think about how far she's gone

[@diegosolis9789]

Maybe if she wasn't tactical and just took off at the beginning at race she might have subbed 5 min.

[@cfbaddict7284]

She could probably easily break 5

[@Tigerex966]

congrats! 16 yo, that is so crazy, they were to smart for themselves going so slow. Thats Amazing!

[@Linkmon99]

They ran a 2:55 then a 2:10, unless you're a 4:3x miler that would burn you too haha

[@lazgaming6794]

HI LINKMON

[@emanueli3858]

Yeah!!! I agree, they said she elbowed that woman but that's just Cain's form. Once that improves, wow!!! She'll be awesome

[@paparon90fon]

Did Dana Meckie think the race was over at 1400 meters? 2:52

[@phoenix21studios]

she didnt equip an after burner it seems.

[@sunshinecycling]

Yeah, pretty sure she was confused. She sprinted on the outside on next to last lap and then nearly stopped until she realized it wasn't over.

[@Tone202]

This time was nothing to brag about in the diamond league but it was fast for a sixteen year old. She's going to have to run 4:20 or less to beat the very best so good luck to her.

[@beastmodetrevor]

championships aren't about fast times you can't just try to gut it out when you're with this type of competition because they will hang on and can out-kick you if you arent careful.

[@Johnston857]

she ran a 5:05, thats not slow. especially for a 16 year old

[@Bweyg]

And I bet you, that wasn't even her fastest mile at the time when she was 16, I bet it was somewhere closer to 4:30s

[@maggie0285]

Even though the pace looked slow the pace they were running would have killed the average person--like me

[@Bweyg]

That would have been me sprinting at my fastest for like 100m maybe at my best XD

[@jogaid3766]

Remember seeing this along time ago announcers just have to say something she never touched the girl with her elbow she got knock because Mary Kings Lane’s got her way but she had to clear advantage hopefully we can see more Mary cane soon

[@allenharder]

They said this was incredibly slow😂

[@dreday900]

think about this first 800-2.55 and second is 2.10 big pick up

[@paulblaha4897]

It seems that any race over 800 meters is the same...jog until the last lap...200 meters left... it's time to move out...

[@randallhill6423]

She's a pro now and finding out it ain't always this easy.

[@imchamp4324]

This was a pro race

[@Dovahkiindoesstuff]

This comment did not age well

[@elizabethbob6417]

@@Dovahkiindoesstuff lol not at all but I hope she's in a better place now

[@ChrisRoxDuhh]

The way the camera men go all up on her while shes trying to catch her breath

[@emilye3107]

She didn't purposely elbow someone, she always runs with her elbows jutting out.

[@ecofreakandproud]

I don't think it was the speed, it was a tactical race that they all held back since no one wanted to lead the pack and wear themselves out. THAT'S coaching.

[@tiffanyfarfan394]

My gosh people they are supposed to go slow so they set the pace and then outrun them. No good in making it so fast that you burn out.

[@laneyowen8413]

not that slow

[@mprkg]

Um no. They are running REALLY REALLY SLOW!

[@runcaz7802]

Tiffany Farfan "they"? Who are "they"? The entire field? I understand there will be those who feel like a slow 3/4 is to their benefit. But the entire field using this tactic is absurd, unless they all made an agreement to take it easy because they were doubling up in the 3,000 or 5,000 or whatever. Otherwise your comment makes no sense.

[@DarkAtHearts]

They look like beautiful gazelles running.

[@JimTrujillo]

Mary is AMAZING!!!!

[@MemphisApplegate]

This is why they have pacers in races. If you take out in a fast pace, in a race without a pacer, then you become the pacer. They even have paid pacers in big marathons now, as world class runners know the person in the lead is a sitting duck. This is why world records are rarely set in distance events at the Olympics; winning is much more important than a fast time, and going for a fast time will likely set you up for failure.

[@johnnyrobinson1774]

that's what happens when you don't run to win

[@rebeldiamond601]

This really isn't slow, especially for a 16 year old girl. When I first started running, I was doing 15 minute miles because I had to walk on every curve. With lots of hard work, I got my time down to 6:46. I was around her age when I did that. It's really difficult.

[@A-FrameWedge]

Katelyn Tuohy a sophomore in HS ran a 4:33 outdoor mile.

[@kaybay5210]

sadie engelhardt beat her

[@jefftoreson]

sub 2:10 last 800m

[@RefinedReviews]

Know what a tactical race is. You start slower and finish stronger

[@adamabushanab2602]

Yes but the pickup was way too strong they just straught up started slow af

[@rcho223]

I think if they actually tried they could easily break 5:00. I mean they basically had a warm-up 800 then started trying

[@joegallagher2844]

Tuohy is the future of women's distance running, Cain is ok, but she wouldn't compete in the Olympics. Tuohy will win Gold in 2024 Olympics.

[@mprkg]

Why are they running so slow? 5:05 for a mile is NOT good at all. Girl at my High School ran 4:50 at CIF Southern Section

[@phoenix21studios]

HAHAHA. a 5 minute mile is not easy in any way shape or form. Most people cant even run an entire mile. Many people can muster a 9 minute mile and an 8 min mile is fast for just an average person. 6 minute mile is average good for normal casual runners.

[@BudderB0y2222]

Maybe it's great for the average person, but 5:05 is a time that many high school freshmen achieve. We're talking national champion here, which is kind of pathetic

[@megamindvs2514]

Thing is...yes this is tactical it appears. Looks like it based on the last 800. But the first 800 was too slow regardless imo. 2:50 for the first 800. Could’ve been slightly faster even if it was a tactical approach. Then she would’ve broke 5 on here. But I see what they were doing on this run.

[@JulianZeezer]

Good job!

[@runcaz7802]

The video starts at about 2min. They are all jogging. NEXT VIDEO please.

[@alexandrarosewolff9922]

Guys you never know If they races before

[@toowaker37]

They were jocking for position. This is not unlike cycling where the sprinters wait until the last minute to go because they want to sit in and conserve energy. If you want to be a winner you have race smart, not just hard.

[@thelisa11]

Too bad ratings are disabled, I would 'like' this. She was first, no one else stepped up, good for her.

[@HeyLookItsKimberly]

All these women are great runners of course, i'm just extremely confused why none of them put forth 100% effort in this race

[@Bweyg]

If you've ever tried sprinting at your fullest for a whole mile, well, no one in the world has done it, at least not on a track anyway, (I'm sure someone has done it for a mile if it was down a hill, but even then I have no guarantees) anyone who has done a full sprint for a full mile (lets say your fastest mph for sprinting is 18mph, if you could hold that pace, you could get sub 3:20 mile) would probably get close to if not has HAD a heart attack.

[@jaire4061]

They make it look so easy and look so slow, until you get on that track and try that.

[@tonydiaz2541]

Looks like the woman in red and black thought the race was over a lap soon.

[@clairebearbeauty8578]

the high school indoor mile was won this year in 4:43 and cain ran a 4:28 in high school. honestly, it's just pathetic

[@azamingxzc9570]

clairebearbeauty8 they don't have to do their best, they just have to win. Sometimes I guess those aren't the same thing :)

[@natalietorres9206]

clairebearbeauty8 is like to see you try it

[@americanpatriot6574]

2:55 for 800m?!! Ridiculous!

[@jennas8039]

If you know running then you know this time is extremely slow for a race like this

[@phoenix21studios]

not really. the world record for women is 4:12.

[@BudderB0y2222]

Men's world record is 3:43, high school men's HS champion level is 3:59-4:05. That's the equivalent of a woman's 4:28-4:34

[@rajitrajpal7703]

If u knew running, ud know times matter not in championship tactical races. Stfu jenna

[@Bweyg]

Do people not realize that they weren't even trying until the halfway mark? Cause if they were trying, I bet you they would have gotten closer to sub 4:20, this was their easy tactic mile race, not a full on blow out trying to get a fast mile time race.

[@ddahstan6876]

*Shake My Head* How many pounds does she have to lose to run faster according to her "Coach"? She's in top shape, looks incredibly healthy, runs fast, yet she's being "tortured" for not having the typical anorexic-runner- body-like?

I'm perplexed. My 10 year old aussie daughter ran 5.30 and has exceeded winning over local women in 3km and 5km. She hung the boots up a year ago ... I did like the last two laps however, a taste of things to come. Good finish 16 yo.

Refuses to maintain a weight necessary for elite runner status - ultimately blames coach for pushing her to do so. Gains liberal media sympathy. Thus her story ended.

[@marycoleman6963]

That’s ridiculous. First of all Salazar us now banned. Second Cain went to Salazar was forced to lose weight and proceeded to break 5 bones. He ruined Mary Cain’s career. You lose too much weight, you stop getting your period, then estrogen levels drop and you start breaking bones. There are many eating disorders in track and field. Being very thin will end up ruining your career.
