Very impressive for Nur and Young. 13:06 college record in season. Nur was competitive, and the margin back to Young was mostly done on the last lap, 4 seconds right there. Nur has an excellent change of pace, while Young needs to work on his speed--maybe more forward lean would help. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Nur will break 13 this year. Young's time, while not counting for the U20 records because he turns 20 in July, is easily the fastest American time for someone under 20. I recall Ritz running 13:27 at 19 but not counting for the U20 record at the time because he was born December 30 of that year. 13:11 is something else and way under the U20 record, which appears to be his own 13:22 from late last year (indoors) or his own 13:24 outdoors from last track season. Huge drop.

I think Hocker ran 13:19 last year at 19 like the same day Nico ran 13:24. 13:11 crushes that though lol
Kinda crazy how Mantz crushed them both at XC just a few months ago, and they both just beat him handily. Mantz has run everything from 3k-half marathon in that time though. Awesome time for US distance running :)

Yes I enjoyed Nico finally beating Mantz. I was at Nico's 1st XC race against Mantz in Vegas when Mantz had to outkick Nico, bt Nico finally beat him.

Just remember that day Hocker had previously won the 1500 over Nuguse. Maybe 90 minutes earlier.
