Jakob Ingebrigtsen 14y, 3.50.57 on 1,500

veldig imponerende!

Where would that put him in relation to Alan Webb, Jim Ryun, Centro etc at the same age?

Jeg berøre meg selv!

Does his father happen to be a doctor?

very impressive. That's usual 8th grade age at this stage. 3:50.57 is around a 4:08 mile! The American high school sophomore record (age 16 typically) is 4:06, while the freshman record is Eli Krahn(?) at around 4:09. This second Ingebrigtsen kid has a bright future.

I thought i read somewhere Kevin Sullivan ran 3:54 for 1500 at age 13 or 14.

his father is a current runner. 3:50 miler

And I thought my 5:01 1600 in 8th grade was fast. This kid would be almost 300 meters ahead of me.

And he\'s got other moves!

Ingebrigtsen looks so out of place in the Diamond League meets. Mustache, tights, white...looks like a lumberjack out there.

Is that legit him?

Yes sir, he did it while he was in grade 9. It's pretty crazy to be that talented.

Legit. And he's got very nice running form, too. (Age 14)

Are you guys really this f$&&@1g clueless? Henrik is his brother, not his father. His brother was 5th in London.

how do you run a 3:50 1500, but only a 1:28 600

The kid's got really clean running form. That 1:28 600m did not look like more than a workout--with people it looked like he could hold that pace a good deal longer. With 1.08x, his 1500m converts to 4:09 flat.
