Wow. 3:52 low to finish 4th in the Bowerman Mile... Holy cow. Did anyone catch a last lap split for him? He closed very very well. What can this kid not do?
55:42 last 400
Tefera only a year older, and a second faster...
Where's his plateau? wrote:
This kid has been taking some serious scalps lately. However, how much more upside could there be left for him? He certainly handles pressure very well.
World record is still 9 seconds away in the mile. 13 seconds away in the 1500. Also a decent 3k/5k runner.
Is he the fastest 1500 runner born in the 21st century?

He breaks Graham Williamson's European junior mile record of 3:53.15, which has stood since 1979.
His 3:37.25 split at 1500m is however still 1.74 second slower than Estevez's European junior record of 3:35.51.

Yes.
George manangoi should benefit the doubt. It is arguable.
What really impresses me is he was 0.1 from at the World Champion and beating Olympic medalists in a race with all the top milers right now. He will slay in WC/Oly

I just merged like 8 threads on this topic. How could they barely mention is on the broadcast? Crazy. It's about storytelling. How do not tell that story?
Let's be blunt: he's a white boy. Doesn't make for a good story according to Western media. Look around.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen just came home in fourth in the Bowerman Mile in 3:52.28 more than a full second faster than Alan Webb's 3:53.43 in the Bowerman Mile his senior year. Alan had turned 18 in January that year. Jakob will be 18 in September. WOW.
November...for his 18th

Lol. He lost...
Webb lost when he ran 3:53 to set the "American" HS record.
First lap was 60.xx seconds, he was dead last... at half he was about 1:58.4 and barely a step ahead of last....
*Almost* the faster ever run by a 17 year old.
When (drug cheat) Hamza Driouch ran 3:50.90, he was 17 years 204 days old. Today Jakob is 17 years 249 days old.
Jacob looked very composed. Very impressive.
He's also not overly mature for his age, physically, like Webb, so he likely has greater upside.
Oh no, are you an oppressed white male? Poor guy.
