It's the Secretariat strat. Of course Secretariat did it because he already knew he was faster than everyone else and he hated being boxed in by the pack so he hanged back and waited til the field thinned out and then made his move on the backstretch. That's what made his races so exciting -- that he started nearly every one in last place right out of the gate, and then slowly reeled in the entire field as the race progressed. Last to first in like 20 seconds. It was like something out of a movie, or WWE. And he did it over and over again so it wasn't some kind of fluke, that's legit how he wanted to run the race.

If you are suggesting that had he been able to keep the new 62 second lap pace he would have won, that is still incorrect as it was a high 62. His form broke at the end of the race. True. Hence the back end strength comment. His pacing was on point. His strength and his kick on the last lap were not. His kick basically just kept his split times. A second in the third lap doesn't change that.

If you're not a great speedster, but instead depend on endurance and conditioning, the strategy is to go out fast and try to wear down the pack so they don't have much of a kick left. It just didn't work this time because "the pack" didn't take the bait.

Actually the leader for most that race, raced an insanely consistently paced race. He split 62 and 63 second laps the whole way. It doesn't leave you with a kick, but still stretch your time trial potential to the limit. The winner is just naturally way faster, and may have experimented with pace here. For reference, his 54 second last lap matches the men's world record split last lap for the 1500m. Whereas some his earlier laps were close to 70. He had a lot more to give. He could've raced much faster times if he wanted, but was probably testing some extreme race strategies.

Damn… I was never a runner, more like a bulldozer, but always loved watching these kids fly!

An unbelievable Secretariat-like performance capped off with a 54 second last quarter. Congratulations Aden!

Reminds me of Robby Andrews! He going to be a sub 4 miler

Honestly, he probably could be a sub 4 miler right now on a different strategy. 54 seconds for a last lap is faster than El Guerrouj in his mile WR last lap. He had some like 68 sec middle laps and still did 4:10. If he's going for a time trial and can nail the pace, seems like a sure thing.

With one lap to go, they aaccounced over the loud speaker that everyone would be featured in a Bud Lite commercial except for the race winner -- but he was the only one who heard it.

That was tremendous! 🙂

I ran a 51.9 quarter mile, and was fourth on my HS team. We set a DoDDS (dependents overseas school, HH Arnold HS, Wiesbaden, Germany) 4x440 relay at 3:17. It hasn't been beaten, in the last 52 years. Having said that...they converted to meters many years ago. Heh heh. Hell..I can still run pretty well, VERY well, for an old man.

Nice

210/200 negative split. The spoiler thumbnail made it better since I could track him the entire race.

thanks!!!

You're right. If I hadn't watched this with my own eyes, I would not have believed it!!!

WHAT a performance WOW--its not over -till its over

WOW

Great race but I wonder if he could have run 3-4 seconds faster with more even pacing. Still made for a super entertaining watch.

Awesome. Love it when things like that happen!

Why the hell did he leave it to the last lap? Clearly he could’ve been on the leader very comfortably if he dropped a 54.

he had the 3200 earlier and he said he was dead the first 3 laps of the 1600 in an interview

Maybe he was still tired from a 9:06 two mile a few hours earlier?

Wow! Great kick and nice looking track.

Almost as crazy was the guy with a 20 meter lead to start the last lap came in 3rd!

And all of his laps were near even splits. He should have stuck with the pack slightly more, so he could sprint the final bit harder

@@shrankai7285 I don't know anything about that kid who led most of the way. However, if he doesn't have a good kick, then he probably ran the best race he could have run - 3rd place in 4:12 is still quite good.

@@shrankai7285 Even splits means it was likely close to the fastest possible time he could've run. The winner was just way faster, he cruised the first 3 laps so much, he had enough for 54 second last lap which is literally faster than the mile world record last lap. The winner ran an unbalanced race but it didn't matter because he is just naturally way faster.

Yeah...but did they laugh...did the crowd actually laugh?
