I know!! He is so good an just killing it this indoor competing with the best of D-1. I dont pretend to be his buddy or anything, but I've talked to him a couple times and he is a really cool and friendly guy too.
So humble as well!
High school prs:
800 - 2:03
1500- 4:10 (4:27ish mile)
3000 - 8:57
ayy lmao I worked for his dad
The dude also has a pretty big shlong. Saw him running by when he ran the 7:50... damn
Yes, if someone told you in 2014 that Ribich would have a better 3000m PR than Saarel by the time they finish College, people would have laughed at you.
BTW: Saarel ran a 3000m PR in that same race, but was behind Ribich.
If you've known, or followed Mike Johnson the head coach at WOU, you would know that he has taken a number of underdeveloped HS runners to similar levels throughout his career. Not every single year does he roll out a world beater, but every now and again, and this should be no surprise.
Great Dll, JV no one cares...God job.Blah Blah Blah....

No, 2:03 to 3:58 SHOULD be a surprise any way you slice it.
I was a 4:44 High School miler and now I run 4:09 lol. Bigger improvements are out there

I agree. running 2:03 and 4:27 indicates about 56-57s 400m ability, and absolutely no faster than 54s. Traditionally, we have assumed that speed over 200-400 meters cannot be improved substantially, no matter what, yet this guys managed to do it. There's no way you can run a mile in under 4:00 without having at least 52s 400 ability, and most can run under 50s. The fact that he was able to improve his time over 400 meters by at least 3-4 seconds after the age of 18 is astounding. Top that off with terrific speed endurance training and you have a great miler.
This gives me hope to run some semblance of decent times later in life.
I hear David gets beat all the time on runs by his teammate breanan #upandcoming
You sound fake; I bet you’re the type of person who hasn’t watched the Office
4:44 to 4:09 is more impressive than 4:10 to 3:39 and 8:57 to 7:50?? Ha, MAYBE if that 4:09 gets a massive altitude conversion
#faketimes
His 3:58 was after a DMR leg the night before. I wouldn't be surprised to see 3:56-3:57 in the right race if he really went for it.
Is this his 2k time? Also I thought people in college only ran the 1500, if so 3:58 is pretty slow for 1500, I assume you all were making typos. Regardless in the end he seems like a nice guy, kinda dull though for a communication major. See you at nationals Dave :)

Dude you don’t even have indoor eligibility
@jevens CM your gPa is saturated by your easy chemical engineering degree. Do you build rockets so you can run faster?
You’re ugly

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has a 1989 Ferrari 348 GTB and he's just put in paperwork to upgrade it
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
