- Russell's first time doing the 400m dash. He's run the 4x400 before. Here he wins first place at the regional track meet. I think this time is 3 seconds better than his previous best. Too bad the camera man is not very steady...
- Sport
The scary thing is that he can improve his time a lot by getting some spikes, improving his form and getting off the line better. Very good run though.
Yeah it looks like he trains for long/mid distance instead of as a sprinter, so he if he did that then he could get a lot better. I ran 400m in 8th grade and what dropped my time from 59 to 56 was working out as a sprinter
@@wnJhntndistance is also crucial for the 400 but yeah sprint training helps a ton too
He’s just pure athleticism get him a coach and a gym membership
It's 70 percent is genes and 30 percent is training athlectism comes from training.
@@King-rv4fz I’d say 70% training 30% talent.
Are you sure?@@ZYZZ_WHEY

Outstanding! Only in the 8th grade and finishing with that kind of time! Keep with it son, you will do great as you move into highschool. Good job!!!
Get spikes and who's mans is this on the start. V
Too late😂😂😂
get spikes
its a school meet, the dumbass officials dont let you use spikes because you could hurt someone, smh
Well then you're lucky, they don't let me use them and it sucks
Rushil Desai I'm going to high school next year so hopefully they let us use spikes for that, also I belong to a track club so I'm allowed to use it there, but my school board is wayyyy to protective
Erik Revaj exactly why this makes me mad
Erik Revaj... Last year I broke my friend's ankle ending a 200 meter race, he crossed in front of me and I hit him with my spikes lmao
so i searched up this dude on milesplit and apparently he stopped running after his freshman year with a pr of 55.27 in the 400 and 26.70 in the 200. too bad, i thought this kid was running in college or something
hotboy_dhiren this kid today in the 200 meter ran a 27 second 200 and I believe he’s 13. But he’s also around 5’8” I think
A 26 wtf😂😂 he came last everytime freshman that run a 23 afe last place by a lot in my county
Kylen Baker sane bro 😂😂 he’s kinda slow where I’m from, I ran a 53 when I was in 8th grade, and I’m running a low 50 and I’m a junior, but I didn’t even make it to m area finals bc everyone is running 49s, my 200 time is around 21-22 so he’s pretty slow from where I am from
Xavier Gonzalez I did 59 as an 8th grader now 3 years later I’m hitting 50-51s but I usually do the 800 in around 1:55
with a 26.7 i woulda quit too wtf is that
It looks like he's running in slow motion
I guess so, I'm a distance runner so I pay more attention to distance technique. I know nothing about sprinting
sukresukre2 you're right, but to me, I'm used to running 4 and 5ks, 400 m is a sprint to me
@@sinbadk.7667 that’s fast for 8th grade
@@sinbadk.7667 400m is always a sprint you idiot
What is that position your feet are too close together in the start position you'll get a slow start if you keep them like that
Shane Bod 400 metres is a sprint
High school track. Those were great days
坦然無懼 this isnt highschool lol
Even if it’s middle school 8th grade, it’s still a slow time lmao
@@jameswittmann1608 no it’s not, it’s not insanely fast put it would still put him as a top 5 400m runner in his state for his age, top 3 if he’s in states like the Dakotas
@@adenbandukwala3252 😂 😂 OH HELL no my guy
@@adenbandukwala3252 A 56 would be like top 3 in a district bruh. No way in top 3 in states lmao
they have bad forms they need a better coach to teach him right.
Yeah you are right, but they are 8th grade, what would you expect you know.
sorts ,. I was in 8th grade when I was teaching myself how to do the 400,200 and 100. Trust me it's not really that hard to train for form, it took me about two weeks to get a perfect stride.
Arath Gomez Lmao, your form is probably horrible. It takes elite world class sprinters years to "perfect" their forms, most of them still don't have perfect form. If you're saying you think it took you two weeks for your form to be perfect, then I can tell you you won't get far in athletics by already thinking you're at your best.
simon mushombe j
Arath Gomez that 8th grader had great form, don’t know what your talking about, yeah sure he could have kept his arms closer to his body but other than that, great from
Anyone notice his shoe came untied?
Incredible! I pray that you kept this talent going!?
dang he ran that fast that's probably how I'd run in the 200😂
That's pretty sad.
You think he's good? Look up some of the elites in his age group
Fabian-Eduardo Chacon you only float for about 50
This is good
How is this not good
Dude, this guy is really good for his age, and the commenter is fucking exaggerating. Screw off
I ran a 62 in 8th grade and a 50.5 my senior in high school. This kid should have pretty successful track career if he works hard.
I run 50.7 and im 14💀
Jordon Vaughn so what
He quit running
Jordon Vaughn I doubt that
I ran 59/60 in eighth
Is 79 seconds a good time? That was my first time for the 400m. I am 6'3 160lbs, pretty fit, but I have never ran before lol..
Eh not really it's good for people like you to be under a minute but your close
That start was lit
this mans shoes are untied
Pssssssh I run a 32 as a 4 year old.... You have nothing on me
I know you're just jelly
Thats a world record
Big baller Fan it's the other way around cause it's a joke and you dk it is
Guys he was joking, chill out
Big baller Fan you're
a young spartan
Last year (freshman) I ran the 400 in 52.7 but our high school didn’t have baseball until this year and baseball is a sport that I have played since I was 5. I’m seriously thinking about running the 400 in state as a senior in hopes that I get a scholarship. Thoughts?
I’m in 8th grade and I run a 54 400 and if there’s any tips I could give to this already amazing runner it would be 1 to work on his start with his speed I might even put him in on a block just to get a feel for it 2 straighten up his form kids who are already fast can be so much more deadly with a nice form keep the shoulders relaxed pump the arms in a straight motion and run up on your toes 3 get you some spikes already b you could seconds off that time with spikes and lastly get some endurance training if you can keep your sprint up the whole time you will be a deadly 400 runner keep up the good work my man
Lol where the blocks at
Anthony Calderon most junior high kids don't want to use block starts
Exams are right around the corner
Legend has it he smokes cigs now
On my track team our fastest 400m runner ran a 53.45 and hes in the 8th grade.
Don't know why this is thought to be so good. In 8th grade I ran a 54.1 and a 2:04 800m. Im now 16 and I run 48.2 400m and 1:50.02 800.
Noice
I run 2:29 800m and 59 400 also ran 3k at 10:55
At 13
“Exams are right around the corner” you should know this...
What was those shoes
in flats, with no blocks. Super impressive
Reminds me of track season
Good stuff my pr in middle school was 55.67 8th grade if u get that form down u will do great
At a district meat a prodigy like runner in 7th grade named Deacon had 52 sec. 400.
They where just proud relax ,
We legit have a 7th grader who ran a 56 and I run a 59 it’s actually crazy this kids huge for his age
We have a 7th geader who ran a 54 kids a beat i ran a 59 im 6th wbu
He needs to hug the curb
There’s this girl in 7th grade at my school with a 59. She’s crazy
My Personal best 400m is 53.76 when i was 16 y/o :)
mine is 45 and i'm 5 y/o
lol jk its 52 im 14
Blocks?
Is this Quaker valley
I remember my 8th grade year, took a kids spot on the 4x400 team after changing schools, and I had the second fastest 400m time that season.
I beat the kid that was faster than in 9th grade though.
How old Is he
Matthew Boling?
I got a 56 in 8th grade as well, no spikes as well 😂 im pretty sure i used a block though, maybe...
Anybody know what Russell Duncan doing today?
CHEETAH69 College
My personal best in 8th grade was 57 secs flat and at that time I weighed 158
Why no blocks
Is that good or bad
Their was this one kid in one of my 8th grade meets and he ran a 55 we were fighting for that first place but he was faster good times
I wish when I’m running really fast I can just set cruise control like on cars 😂
Patrick A Dude that’s what I think 😂
That's ok I'm not usually a 400 runner but in 8th grade I ran a 56 flat I haven't ran it since though. But still good job
I'm an 8th grader and ran a PR of 55.07, and broke my school's record in the 800 with a 2:10.45. The time is pretty good, but with form like that, he's not going to make it anywhere. Obviously spikes would've helped, but with his form, he would be pretty likely to catch a spike. Then he will also need to work on coming out of the blocks
Chance Bowlinger Sure you did
I see dem sketchers
Why does this video have 262k views?
Damn he’s fast
What school is that??
Holy Innocents... 8 months late
Where are the blocks or spikes
I ran 55s in 8th grade while as a distance runner
Did this kid make it to run in College? I would say he would make a good 800m runner! I just ran 61 seconds for the 400m at age 54. A freshman in high school would be great to go sub 55 and then sub 53 by the second year.
To do good in high school 400, you need to be running 48s-46s to actually win something 😂
Most High School coaches would be happy with a 400m runner around 51 flat. Any runner that goes sub 50 will be top 10 in most State meets.
I ran 4x4 but never open 400. My pr was 53 and that would have put me 3rd or 4th in my region, but in the state I would have been destroyed I believe the top 6 went under 50 and I'm only 2A classification (less students in the school, so lower number of freakish runners)
seaturtledog mi
Jordon Vaughn it depends on where you live.......that will depict whats a good or bad time cus where I live you'll win first in local meet but you'll be in the top 3 in the state with 46-48 times that's the best of the best running that so I'm pretty sure you could run 50secs and win something
A 10 year old boy just run 56 seconds too, New record
no spikes no blocks crazy
I was running 52 secs at age of 14/15.... Bolt was running it at 46 at 15... Just to advise
On grass
That kid would go 53sec with proper shoes((spikes) and blocks, BEFORE coaching... With real coaching, who knows... He's gonna be fast
Probably ran a second longer running on the outside of the track
Where his spikes and blocks
He did that with his shoe not tied
holy shit
I ran 54 seconds as a 8th grader
Cameron Knappenburger from lehighton runs a 55 in that and he’s in 7th
I m a freshman man right now in high school and I m running a 400m in 49 seconds hit me up if you wanna know how I do it. I can give you some tips
What the hell was he doing at the start
I ran a 57.8 in 7th grade
Good run but needs spikes better form and the other guy needs to not stomp when he stops that's basically open the front door for shin splints
Colin Kravitz, 7th grader, ran a 400m in 55.2 seconds
Is this good? Cuz my friend ran a 52 in 8th grade
I’m in 7th grade and I run a 55 second 400
i ran 50s and i was born yesterday
My friend ran a 53 in 8th
Needs a lot of sprint work and form correction I'm in the 8th grade and I run a 51.6 400 it's all about correct form it helps so much
this is why i cannot do track ... im the fastest kid in my town but i get so scared and shaken at track meets i swear
I ran a 55.3 in our second meet
My friend runs a 53 and he's in 8th grade too
That’s ok, I was ruining 52 by eight 50 jr year!!!
A kid ran a 52 last year in 8th grade at my school
Tie them laces
needs to work on high knees and open up his strides.. and oh yea get spikes!! but if not hes pretty decent for a first timer.. ur starts are poor too..
Shakti Raj lol 56 for 8th grade that's better than a "first timer"
Yeah, his start was totally messed up....he really needs to work on it .
His right shoe is untied. He could have slipped.
That's really good for a 8th grader no doubt but it was not actually 56 seconds it it much longer but still great job
Daniel Cosgrove that was definitely 56
Daniel Cosgrove that was 56...
This is fucking 58 seconds not 56,4
Erik Intros it's 56
i ran a 55 in 8th grade and my friend ran a 55 in 7th grade but yeah i guess this is still good
Just think if he tied his shoe...
I got a 59 in 8th grade
I know a kid that ran it in a 54.4 in 8th grade
I'm from Herman and I got 55.6 on 4x4 relay
I’m in 8th grade and made a 53.4 but I didn’t end up running the lap bcs I was running the 2400m run and the races are too close.
not to compare or anything but my friend at my running club can run a 53 second 400 and he is in gr.8 as well
Their form is terrorible but he did really 👍
His teammate thinks he is sonic 1:43
im in grade 7 and 1st place got 54 and i came 6th with 1min flat
God, wtf kind of school do you go to?
I came first in my heat with 1min 14 ;-;
doubt
Justin Y. Boi where you from that competition is weak?
I’m in 9th and my time is 54 seconds
I know this was 9 years ago but I beat this record 2 times in one day And I am also in 8th grade I got a 55.48 and then a 54.44
My friend ran it in 54 sec when he was in 7th grade.
