We have an update as he competed last week at the Trond Mohn Games in Norway (the same meet where Ingebrigtsen ran the 800).

There was some wind so the athletes who ran for the standard in the seeple to the WC didn´t make it.
Which makes Axel´s performance even more impressive. Axel has improved more than 13 seconds in the steeple since last summer´s U20 European Championships where Axel was runner up at age 16.

Lex Young just ran 7:57 at age 16 (Axel: 7:59 at age 16.) I’m guessing Lex could run under 13:50 right now for 5k (Axel: 13:44 at 16) … Lex was clearly the 3rd runner on NB this fall behind his twin LEO. Honestly asking: Is it fair to say the Young Twins are comparable talents to Axel because Axel is clearly LEGIT. It also seems like Axel trains like crazy, running many more miles than the average American high schooler, including Newbury Park
Lex ended up running 13:43.8 in the 5000m this year as a junior in hs.
