Shane Cohen with the kick in the same fashion as Robby Andrews many moods ago. Virginia maybe be king of the strength based 800m runner!

Looks exactly like Fisher

I’m not a runner just a fan. But that race was to me both Andrews-ish and Waddle-ish. Love that sort of race. It’s risky and take so much discipline and confidence to do it that way. again I don’t know what I’m talking about but I like uva and I like watching these races.
And Cohen doesn’t seem like a runner weirdo, which is a huge plus.

He was a 200/400 runner in HS who was convinced to try the 800. An epic coda to his college career!

He was a D2 runner at Tampa university up until 2023. Nice to see "baby nationals" get some representation

Not sure what you’d call him based on that. More like a 400/800 kid who dabbled in the 1600.

Great article from The Oval about him back in 2022 when he was at Tampa. He didn’t even go to Tampa to run. He was helping out and training with the women’s practice basketball team. Had a friend in a class who saw his NB backpack and he convinced the UT coach to give him a tryout.

Thanks for the link. That was a good read. It’s crazy that his high school PR was 1:58 and he was worried that he wasn’t going to crack 2:04 for the track team “try out.” Even crazier that he made the team via winning a 200 and not even running the 800.

What a cool story! Anyone know what time he ran in that 200m race to beat all the sprinters?

The article didn't say. Would be a good question for his next interview or a follow up piece, for sure.

I'm late to this story - what a kick! The Indiana competitor who fell in front of Cohen might have actually may have actually helped him win - it seemed to impede him very little, if at all, and an adrenaline rush with 80-100m to go could help stave off the impacts of fatigue.

He runs the same race every time from what we have seen the past month or so. And it always works

Awesome - I'm looking forward to watching him race live at the OTs. It's nice to have a new spark in the men's 800.
