who looks older Burcham or Cheserek?
Are you kidding me? In two years he will have less hair than me.
Good find. Thanks for posting.
Looks like a great place to train
I agree with Burcham looking like he is 29.
Where is he going to college?
oklahoma. go spanked in an 800 last weekend. we'll see how he does at brooks.
awesome documentary. i think its awesomely filmed. surprised to hear how hes just "using" running. sounds like he doesnt want to go pro. to each his own though, seems like a very mellow guy
Doesn't seem to be into running all that much, and certainly nothing special to watch, but freakishly talented for sure. No mention of his training, it's like he bowhunts and drives illegally more than he runs.
He must have a huge engine, his form is not the greatest to look at for a next level improvement.
And he only just ran 1:56.40 in an 800
Unless he is going to run sub 8:45 or better somewhere in there, I think he may have already run his fastest in HS for now or this 4 year period.
Not a knock, he has major cajones by the style that he runs , saw him at Penn and a huge will to win, you can see that when he races.
He is actually really cocky and an all around jerk. One time my team was at an xc meat and his team was there, and we were doing strides inside the finish chute. His team came over (we were there first) and took up the whole thing. My coach asked if they could move over, and burcham said, "f*** off"
Either you are lying or you caught him on a bad day. He is a good kid and great for the sport and the state of WV.

Seemed like a really quiet, unassuming kid. And coach seemed like a great guy. Good luck to him!
here is my awesome parody of this documentary
driving fast on a blinded sharp curves VS Lots of Deer in West Virgina === Big time wreck!
Especially at night!
SLOW DOWN!

I had really low expectations, but that is pretty good. The scooter bit was gold.
Burcham has always come off as a big p*ssy to me, and this only confirms it. Remember when he pussed out at NXN? After his "documentary," I don't think I'll ever be able to root for this kid.
He're another talented high school idiot.
He's got the opportunity to go sub 4 and he's not obsessed?!
WTF?!
When you're that close, you should obsess about it.
We each now the sub 4 guys, and that 3:5X is still very, very special for a high schooler. How many of us remember all the guys who ran 4:02-4:05? And does the public know them like they knew Alan Webb?
Heck no.
So here my unsolicited but incredibly good advice. Get obsessed hoss, or 3:59.xx is going to slip by and with it, the chance of a lifetime.
If he goes to a Division I school, won't he just end up hating it and quitting? I feel like he won't like his life revolving around running.
Watched the original video and was truly uninspired by his lack of form and being a few lb's over weight. Glad somebody had the balls to call him out. Also did he really need to have his shirt off the entire video?????
he's doomed
