Nico Young 13:24

Developing better than Hunter...

US Jr Record right? Edges out German’s 13:25?

NAU with 3 guys under 13:32; Roots Running 1 guy under 13:40, and TME 1 guy over 13:50.

AWESOME

+ a DNF from Gusman and a likely 13:50+

Wow. Nico Young is the real deal man.

And Grijalva 13:16 in December.

Nico young’s closing speed is my only concern. His 1500m PR is only 3:44. His aerobic engine is incredible however and I think he can pop off a very fast 10k.

Parsons ran 13:38 with TME, but still NAU > Tinman lol

He raced the 1500 once

Most of us don’t run our all time best first time out in an off distance unless it’s our only try

He ran about 59 last lap, he is improving.

The sky is the limit with this guy. Stay focused Nico.

Did he grow up on a dairy farm?

Abdihamid Nur just back in 13:26, a 40 second pr! He has freshman eligibility in outdoor track.

13:24 is about where I expected Nico by now. I actually wonder whether he won't run mid 13:10s in a faster paced race this year. This puts him very close to the top true freshmen ever in the NCAA. Is 13:20 the U.S. under 20 record? German Fernandez and Evan Jager ran around this time.

Nope, he turns 20 this year.

Correction, DOB 7/27/02. So, yes AJR/

No, Nico turns 19 in July. Did you just make that up?

No need for racism or stereotyping on this thread please.

His PR is already 13 seconds faster than rupps at this age. If Rupp developed a kick, i'm not too worried about Nico.
