Am I the only one that finds this hilarious? I doubt the kid is doing this to cheat his way to a PR, but more as a joke that he was put up too my some of his teammates. Just curious what other people might think about this.

why jump in to get 28th why not at last jump in to get a spot that would earn you a trip to portland
Apparently it's a matter of perspective.
Personally, I thought it was pretty funny...although it was nowhere near as funny the second time as it was the first, and if he does it again it's not going to be funny at all.
However...my son, who has run near the top at both Manhattan and the NXN qualifier in the recent past, didn't think it was even a little bit funny. And I get that. It must seem pretty disrespectful to athletes who take it seriously and work hard the sport.
Regardless, this kid needs to be sat down and spoken to by his coach/principal/school psychologist.
It looks like a joke on the surface, but if you look up his YouTube channel he's apparently (at least he considers himself) a very serious runner despite his crap times. Someone who would document themselves thinking they are the sh*t like this kid don't jump in because it's funny. He registered and paid to run this, just cheated his competitors by not starting with them.
I said this in another thread but I'm sure he either has an extremely inflated view of himself (think like a Jersey Shore style attitude) or a mental disorder, seeing as this is the 2nd time he has done this.
NXN officials were told before the meet that the kid was entered - why did they still let him run?
Where will he strike again?

Why won't YOU PEOPLE name him?
You would Mike Rossi.

Why isn't his name in the thread subject line? Mike Rossi's is.
whats the difference
plus this kid has a pretty cool namr now - the manhattan bandit
This actually did just get a little more funny for me.
I was watching the video to see if I could tell roughly where he jumped in.
He doesn't show up on the second to last camera view, which is just before they cross the bridge and go into the final "horseshoe".
The next long stretch would all be open, with a lot of spectators, so it'd be unlikely that he jumped in along there.
So his only other opportunity would have been in the last stretch of woods, which would put him in the race with about 300-400m to go.
And the 'lil punk STILL got passed in the final stretch by a kid who ran the whole 5K!! LMAO
Would be great if somebody punked the kid and sent him a fake recruiting letter

I doubt anyone even needs to. He's probably already on that himself! lol

More like Terry Verysilly
how did he get entered in the race to start with? DOnt you have to qualify to run in an NXN Regional Champ race?
Did his 19:04 get him in as a girl or something?

I think what Mr. Mahmoud is saying is if the goal of this thread is to "out" or shame the kid then his name should be mentioned in every post.
Is Terry update?

I don’t see him in any race results for 2017 or later.
