Anyone have videos where there is a standout athlete just destroying everyone else?
Like an Alan Webb or Jeremy Wariner high school relay where they have to make up a ton of ground on the anchor leg and it looks impressive because they're head and shoulders better than the competition. Anything out there like that?
Here's an old favorite of Michael Stember ripping at 600 to go in high school:
Mark Matusak owning Barnicle at the NON 2mile.
There is old video of Jim Ryun running sub 4:00 in high school in the 1960s. That probably remains the ultimate in someone being not just one whole level but 3 whole levels above the competition.
there are quite a few on redtube.com
Bikila, 1964. Fast forward to the 1:30 mark.
I know everyone on letsrun loves distance running, but this imo, is the greatest catch ever:
