German Fernandez is one of the classiest runners around. All of you letsrun bashers should know that he has A LOT of fans in and around his hometown..especially in his Section. He is right to thank his fans. We all wanted him to do great and he did.

Fernandez FTW! Greatest HS 2 miler in America to date. That's amazing!


The young man is one of the most humble kids you'd ever want to meet! After he destroyed the 1600m/3200m fields doubling at the California State Meet, rather than hang-out and enjoy the atmosphere and his win, he flew back to his hometown to work his shift at the local Applebee's.

The guy DESTROYS Jeff Nelson's National Record ALL BY HIMSELF and all you people know what to do is take cheap "shots" at the guy . . .

That was an unbelievable performance - ALL ALONE at the end. Anyone who criticizes this kid (he is 17) needs to get some therapy. If it wasn't for Puskedra getting in the way in lap 2, he could have had a legitimate shot at sub 8:30. He does have fans, everyone in the stadium had to be cheering for him and he's developed quite a national following after the amazing CA State double. So if you have to criticize him, please post your 2 mile PR first so we can see what kind of envy you really have. For the record, mine is 8:43 and I ran it when I was 24.
