13:55 is better, easily

2 great runs. Derricks is suprerior - in absolute terms, and given that he ran it on his own. 2 mile at NON should be a barnburner.

wow...Derrick is the real deal and then some. Can he give it a run for #2 all time in hs? I doubt he could take rupps record..but 1344 could be possible. very impressive (what looks to be a solo run). Was Smith with him for part of the race?

Derrick supposedly ran the last 3200 in 8:49... with a 2:05 final 800/60 seconds last lap.

13:55 is crazy. He would have gotten 3rd in the 3200 at the meet...

We are uploading the video... stay tuned!

13:55 is a tremendous time, particularly winning by 40 seconds in a high school only race. give him college or pro-level competition later in the outdoor season and he'll be close to what lindgren and ritz ran in high school.

8:46 3200m=8:49+ 2M, which is excellent but not on the all-timer level of derrick's 5k.

fastest time ever in a high school only race.....incredible.

He looks 24.

He's 17, a year younger than most of his classmates

This 13:55 is absolutely amazing! Haven't seen the video yet, but looking at the results, I'd consider this a solo run. I wish all these kids well. Was Derrick pushed at all, for those of you who were there?

Old school shorts.

Doug Smith stayed with him for the first few laps and then Derrick just pulled away. Lapped more than half the field too, it was an amazing race.
