Could Nico Young Run Sub-3:30 This Year?

I think 3:32 is a fair expectation. There is a world of difference between 3:29 and 3:32. There are only a handful of athletes who were at Young's level in the 10k and ran sub-3:30. Farah is the only one to ever go under 3:30 AND 27:00 that I am aware of, although Aouita, Komen, and Ingebrigtsen are all more than likely better than Young over 10k as well. Perhaps Girma and Lagat. But that is a tough tough list to break into.

Since a lot of people are making the mistake of comparing Young to Mo given their PRs...let's not forget that Mo Farah has won more global golds at 5k and 10k than every American runner in the history of the sport combined has won at any distance from 1500-marathon.

He literally closed his conference mile in 25 this year before doubling back for a 1:49 800m

Plus that 25 was at altitude. No way this dude can’t close sub 23 in a slow tactical race.
