The fact that they said “Nico still got it” makes him sound like old news and he already past his prime. Yes his little brothers surpass him doesn’t mean his legacy is gone.
Nico's form looks shot. His smooth stride is gone and he bounces now. It's as if he was too self-aware about his "form issues" and tried to overcorrect.
this aged poorly@@sawgames8623
That was so nice to see Lex and Nico hug at the end 😊
They are brothers by the end of the day
Suggesting a collegiate stand out would be pacing his high school brother is ridiculous
I was thinking the exact same thing!😂😂
I didn’t get it. If you’re going to finish in the middle of the pack or further back you don’t need an assigned pacer. You already have the entire pack plus the leaders to choose from who to fall in behind and get in sync with.
@@kevinkasp Brotherly love
There brothers no matter if you a collegiate standout doing your brother a favor isn’t a crazy idea and Nico was pretty far back in the pack to start so that made it seem like maybe he wasn’t running to win but turns out it was just good tactics
I mean, maybe it could happen, I just don't know why he thought that. Seemed like nothing but a huge assumption.
I see Nico being a huge threat in the 10K as he enters the pro circuit
Why would you not put the full time results in the video? I think we’d all like to see Leo Young’s time and the others who competed near the back.
Lex*
Just beautiful to watch the Young brothers embracing at the end.
Which is the Younger brother?
Nico won but wasn’t even close to his best or pb at 13:11
Lex is capable of doing better. More mental….nice part is he is getting tactical experience at the high school level….love the young’s and what np has done for all them brothers and team mates
Agreed.
Wow such a ballsy move from Soca at the end. That was 🔥
I wish someone talked to me the way the announcer talks about will smith
is no one else in awe of the way nico slid his spikes off at the end??? how did they come off so easily? does he always keep them that loose? seems incredibly risky. or does he know something I don't?
Or they’re just the spikes and stuff happens in track and field 🤷🏾♂️ idk just an assumption
@@n88te what you said doesn’t make sense lol
I have those spikes, you don’t really have to worry about tying them because the upper hugs yours foot really well. Kinda like slip ons, hence why they come out easily.
Nice to see a kick from Nico
Nico! Alright!. The Young Family is one to be reckoned with!!!!
That was not a race against Lex. Lex wasn't remotely in contention. Such an annoyingly misleading title. Still Lex ran well, just off his 13:43.95 PR from last year. Look promising that he could break Rupp's 13:37.91 hs record later this season.
Lex looked really good considering he was coming off of a injury.
yea it is a click bait title
Shiit I would hope Nico would beat his younger brother. He might not be running at NAU if that wasn't the case.
Pacer in the white top has such a graceful stride like god damn it's so smooth
Both Young and full of potential, one would say
The three of them, I'd say.
Great kick!
What is this title? Lex wasn't even near Nico. Let's talk about the D2 guys that compete at this level instead & put the media where's its deserved
I actually go to wingate and it’s cool to see them getting coverage
it's called clickbait, duh
3rd place was a DIVISION 2 GUY??? wow. Wingate is a powerhouse.
90% of there team is Moroccans
@@chaseanspach2799 that’s not true. That’s not even remotely close to being true. Silly goose
I race against them all the time. I’m pretty sure most if not all their runners are international
Nice finish!
🔥🔥🔥
Wish The Youngs would go after the HS 10k record that's been held since 1976.
too bad the camera's didn't cover Lex's big move up around 2:30-2:40
Agree with u
Impressive
I wanted to see how lex did, bad job Flo Track!
Firstly, it's easy to be a critic. However, if it's constructive, criticism can be helpful, IF it's valid. So, the tactics used by Will Smith in this race were completely stupid. I started watching him in the first few laps because I was thinking "Why is this moron running almost 2-3 lanes wide?" So I kept watching and he ran almost the entire race practically in the second lane, even on the bends. That's an extra 8 meters per lap. Now he wasn't quite in the second lane all the way, so on average he ran approx 6 meters per lap extra, for about 10 laps. Do you see where I'm going with this? That's around an extra 60 meters during the running of this race. Go back and watch him if you think I'm exagerating. Meaning, his tactical running was hopeless. Now pulling out to pass runners etc means we have to run wide... BRIEFLY. But to run wide all the way is just stupid.
Y'all mispronounced my last name
Could have just been humble but now you drew attention to yourself and look like an entitled prick. Educate us on how to pronounce it then, Mr. Winders, since you're so noteworthy.
Good job dude
@@ccbgaming6994 thank you!
bro you used to run at our high school meet at marshall county… glad to see how far you’ve come!
@@thesamuellanham appreciate that!
Where was this meet and what was this meet called?
Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific University
@@itachi-sx2ct thank you
Who was the second NAU guy in that lead pack?
Kang Nyoak
Lex time?
13:44
Watch for 15 mins can’t even see the winning rundown 😅😅
Wow
What a click bait title. Lex was no where in sight so it wasn't him vs. his brother and Nico outkicking him
Why would they not just sprint the 12 and a half laps? They’d get done so much quicker. Sorry new to running
Very new!
How annoying is this announcer ?
Who’s commentating 😭
Race starts at 0:48.
Why is there a Kiplimo and a Cheriyot? Weird family stuff going on
They are just popular last names in east Africa, like Johnson or Smith in the United States or Lopez or Hernandez in Spanish speaking countries.
58 seconds is NOT a blistering kick AND the title suggests Nico outkicked Lex. Lex wasn’t near him for the kick. No need for click-bait losers
It was a kick but not blistering. Even a 54 is not sufficient when looking at a 52 from the likes of grant Kincaid and that gang. The way to win is to push the pace and take the kick out of it early. Even then you might still find a couple of runners willing to hang tight and kick
Nico doesn't have a kick. Never has, never will. He's an incredible runner, but he has no kick. You're totally correct. And p.s. the title did click bait me, because I was like holy S, has he developed a kick somehow? Nope.
@@Thomas-fk3cw Nico did make a move and out kicked the field for the win. Blistering? No
It wasn’t Nico fastest kick at a 58 but it was a nice move for the win.
The overall time wasn’t event close to a pb. He run 13:11 5k
Nico will need to develop a faster close and he can do that much like grant fisher or Kincaid had to do. Some of these pros are closing sub 54 and closer to 52 that win these big races. That is the type of kick Nico will need because fitness alone isn’t going to win it all. Too many can run the times but can they out kick when it counts….
Nico has the talent and drive to get there but will he do it before his twin brothers?
@Brent Burnett Yeah, Nico has always had extraordinary fitness and that has been the differentiator. But like you said, at some point you can't just run away from your competition because they are just as fit. But yes, he has run faster and probably still has upside. I just don't ever see him developing wheels and having some blistering closing kick. Anyway, definitely a huge talent.
@@Thomas-fk3cw in theory, you can attempt to out run the competition from the gun. The problem with this strategy is when the pack hunts you down. The flip side is the pack sometimes doesn’t hunt down the breakaway runners. Fitness often becomes key to success because most events can have back to back to back qualifiers. Top runners with speed at the end can get trapped in the pack or spiked.
What’s nice about Nico is we know he is fit and can push the best. He really out the pressure on Mantz. Mantz is a talent hit simply skipped final year for marathons. Might see him tune up with a 3000 meter race but we could debate Mantz and Nico as lacking that closing speed needed in track.
Imagine when we talk about real speed it’s on the international pro level. As good as Jakob is … he has been out kicked. No Doubt that having a kick matters but there are ways to overcome that problem. Just run faster from beginning to start. If one must suffer why not suffer at the from vs the back of the pack.
Jesus loves you he suffered on the cross to forgive all sins he is the truth cause why do people say Jesus Christ when mad look up Christian Bible verses Jesus is the truth cause why do people say Jesus Christ when mad pray to Jesus in the morning night and when you eat food pray for protection and thank Jesus for everything he has done for you if you froget to do this tell people this if people don’t listen ask Jesus that everyone will know him. And Christian Bible verses
