Birnbaum has a cleanest resume winning all the biggest high school races: Arcadia, Hoka, and now Brooks. I bet he will win Nike too.

Definitely doesn't have the cleanest resume. Lost the biggest XC race of the year. Still really clean resume, but I can think of a lot of others with a cleaner resume.

No one this year has a clean resume. All of the best guys in the country (with the exception of Leo for only running pro meets) have lost regularly to one another. No one this year is dominant the way Colin Sahlman and Cade Flatt were.

26 last 200 for both of them.

I was there at this meet. This race and the 800 were the highlights of this meet! Bro went absolutely insane last mile

I was wondering how they would go sub 8:40 with such slow lap splits until I saw that gutsy surge with 1200m left to go as they began to crank it up, that last lap was very impressive from Birnbaum and Burns! I have to think that would indicate a sub 8:30 with even pacing all the way, no?

I remember Vic Reeve of Oregon taking second in the NCAA final 2 mile with an 8:58 (ya, there used to be a 2 mile) 8th place here was faster than that old time. Great young athletes.

That was pretty impressive to have four guys under 8:40!!

Birnbaum just running a beautiful race. Jumping to first to set a position, letting someone else work the wind, staying in touch, not rushing the pass, finding 700m out to be suboptimal, making the move at 500m out, protecting the spot at 200m out to glide into that curve, and dumping the tank into that last 100m. All that strategy while he and the rest of that lead group is dropping sub 8:40! Impressive.

Nice weather!!

Bro is from South Dakota. These guys are pretty much almost on pro level that's insanity

Great race! It's awesome to see three guys fighting to the end!

great race!!!

It'll be interesting to see how the top runners do at the next level!!

University of Oregon’s future is looking bright with Birnbaum.

8TH place at 8:54...!!! 4 under 8:40!! Smoking!

Extremely impressive times! Not to be nitpicky, but I think because they run on a track with no inner edge, only cones on the curves, they should compensate the distance by about 4,5 m back from the original start of 2 miles to make it valid. I'm sure many meets don't compensate like that but I recently experienced it myself in a 5000 m district meet, where we had to start around 7 m back from the original start. Cones weren't enough outdoors, only indoors. This was in Sweden, but the organizer consulted international judges about this, so I assume it should apply in the US as well.

@user-sx3zz2ef2g

Жыл бұрын

it already applies. Whenever a track is made without an inside edge, it is made 6m longer (something like that, I don't remember the exact distance). Any track without an inner edge is made that way. So the times are fair.

Жыл бұрын

@@user-sx3zz2ef2g Oh, OK, thanks for the info! Maybe it is like that on some tracks then. Sometimes the edge may have been removed or broke down though, then they have to compensate I guess. It should be about 0.5 m compensation per lap (400 m) though, not 6 m extra, that would be a a bit much :) (unless you mean for this specific race)

While it nice to seem competition in track the ultimate test is the clock. Where is it. Are these guys going for Ryun's AJR of 8:25.6 or are they running at 11 minute pace. In an 8 lap race they called splits on 6 laps, always after the fact and never a running time.
