I thought that was just a meat record.
Wilson setting a “meat” record—that’s rich!

This is a little silly. All of us love pre in the grainy black and white video on the cinder track, German running the 4:01/8:34 double at the California State Meet, or Tuohy's 4:33 / 15:37 solo efforts, but...
There is absolutely nothing in Nico's effort to belittle!!!
1 - basically running off of XC fitness
2 - no current indoor season or races
3 - he posted the all time killer pre race workout
4 - and backed it up in the bright lights of the f'ing Millrose Games!
5 - no choke or nervousness in first indoor race, first race on TV, first race with pros
6 - perfectly executed an intelligent and even split race plan.
This race will have a long shelf life and become the stuff of legend as well.
California runner comes out of season to NYC to run a national high school record at the Millrose games!
Last thought - how often does a post on here say "wow imagine what this kid can do if they get in the right fast race?". Well, Nico Young found the right fast race!
He ran at the New balance prix in Boston last year and I think it was on tv

Is Purrier better than Houlihan?
not quite yet, but getting closer.
4:16 is worth about 3:58 for 1500 -- Shelby has run 3:54 for 1500. They said on the broadcast that Purrier's coach Mark Coogan still fancies her as a 5000m runner. If she is more on the strength side, I think she is probably in 14:35-14:40 shape for 5k -- within striking distance of Houlihan's AR.
Houlihan is still a WORLD class finisher. But Purrier is just making an already loaded women's 1500m even more crowded.
I'm a huge Shelby fan, but I think that Purrier would have had her today. She was looking around while running the equivalent of a 3:57 1500...indoors. Too bad she can't go for a World Indoor title
Well said! He ran a great and smart race today.
My questio to everyone who was watching: Who wore the fancy spikes and who didn't?
Everyone in the girls mile went sub-5. Everyone in the men’s 3k went sub 8. Everyone in the men’s Wanamaker mile went sub-3:58. Not including DNFs
Awesome meet! Best of all, all these AR races refute rojo's (or was it wejo's) rants about leading to run the shortest possible distance. Today's record races were master classes in drafting (and lane 2 running).

Banked 200m is very forgiving of passing outside.
None of the winners.
Brazier doesn't like the new spikes, he wore something else
Wilson is Adidas
Purrier is NB
Ohare is Adidas
Knight is Rebok
Ostrander is brooks
You need a "master class" in probability. Given an arbitrary 6 runners in contention, of course the winner will probably be from the 5 trailing runners. Same for any arbitrary selection of 5 of them. That doesn't mean the leader has no advantage over each of them individually.

And imagine if they all wore Vaporflys - we’d never hear the end of it from the BlowJos. “More proof blah blah blah!”
that's a good one. I used to teach probability at UNC. But I guess I'm glad there are fools willing to ignore overwhelming evidence and serve as my unpaid rabbits in races.
Who is belittling it? It's a legitimate record.
That said, breaking a high school record drafting off of faster pro runners is an advantage over a solo effort record. That is not unfair or controversial. Does Young break this record today if he does not draft off 10 faster pro runners? I don't think so. On the other hand, the record he broke was probably set in a similar type of race.
On that subject Tuohy's most impressive run of her high school career may have been the 9:05.26 in the 3000m at the Ocean Breeze Freedom Games in 2018 where she soloed and spent much of the second lane passing slower runners and just missed a record set in a pro race.
KoKo had them

That would be cool if LRC opened the 2030 competition to women.
Anyone think Koko might be losing her edge since the daily public weigh-ins went out if favor on the Nike campus?

Probly would of got both if he didn’t do that mile/800 reps workout that was posted here the other day. He should have Raszko coach him and break Webb’s high school mile record.
Uhm, no.
Not happening.
Maybe the 3200, 2 mile, or 5k.
You do know he's a strength runner, right?
