Man ran the whole first lap in lane two
Sweet spoilers in the title
Nice! All of the people that cut him off at the start weren't even relevant at the end of the race.
Kid's gonna be like Inge……..can win any distance he starts at…..fab race.
Well Done Aaron, I saw you running in Camarillo the other day, as the cars came up to the stoplights you ended up passing them all, and you were half a mile ahead of all the cars there for awhile. Amazing to watch you run, and love to watch you win, Keep Winning!!! Be Great.
Honestly he might end up being the best Newberry kid. His speed is the difference. A 1:49 in HS is legit and he has the endurance to run solid 5ks. I see a bright miler or even 800m future.
Looks like he learned from his last 800 where he went out way too fast and faded at the finish.
no one talking about how tyler almost caught him (AZ state record btw) 🤫
THAT GIRL THAT CAME IN LAST WAS SO SMALL
way to ruin it for the viewers by announcing the winner in the title.
Thanks for not spoiling the winner in the video title lol
Beastly
is there anything to sahlmans running form?
he seems to swing his left arm heavy then switch it to a hip swing hitch every 7-10 paces, it sometimes looks like he is checking a watch lol
Learn how to title your videos so the winner is not given away.😖
Who runs an 800 from a waterfall start? The track has staggers, you know!
A very interesting tactician to say the least….
look at those old farts, they didnt see nuthin!
Salman will likely be a miler in the future. Nice race getting out cautiously this time out. Better showing.
Why do American high school races start from the curved line and not traditional 800m start
Worst announcers ever?
atta boy carter cutting
Who is the girl with the ponytail bun that got lost place?
I don't think I've ever heard less hyped commentators. Like seriously get someone to bring some excitement to this. Dude just runs 1:49 as a highschooler coming off of the worst first lap of the field, and all they say is a monotone "looks like 1:49 something….." like bro gtfoh if you're not going to make it interesting, I'd rather listen to the sounds of the crowd than a half assed commentator
Hiw old are these boys?
Since when is 1:49 epic?
These officials didn’t even run on cinder tracks, probably still grass lol
Blows the start, hurried to the front, then holds off all challengers for the W. Kid knows where the line is and gets there
heart of lion; 10 extra meters probably cost you an effortless sub 1:47
Great potential, but someone needs to work on his form.
The winner should have been DQed for a false start.
