i was the guy who fell - i looked back because i got surprised; i know its not optimal and im a better racer than that. to those saying 4:28 is slow for the state meet, its a smaller classification and caden thurman (4:06 miler) decided not to do the 1600 this year
Don't sweat it. If you haven't tripped, fallen, etc. you haven't tried it!! In other words, it happens to all of us!! Who hasn't been in or seen a strange race.
The winner literally ran that last 100 meters in 10 to 11 seconds. He had too much left in the tank. He could run at least 4:15 with better competition.
I myself actually ran against the winner during the district meet- and he was ruthlessly fast. He lapped me in the 3200 actually, and I am in the low 11s.
Stop looking back. It serves no purpose and only makes you slow down, look weak, and possible stumble. Your coach should've taught you that on the first day.
I don't know why he did that in the 1st place, especially sprinting. That's why he stumbled so badly. The only time I would even think to look back would be on the 300 meter mark of the 3rd lap, to know how close my competition is behind me, and I would do it around a bend, not on a straightaway.

Please don’t let it define you. I liked how you ran that race. Keep training, keep up the work!!!
I know you will keep training! You will get better and faster! and have more endurance!
Classic mistake of not running to the line! Never assume victory brother. Good lesson for future races
I don't care what anyone says; 4:28 is blistering!

Congratulations to Boys Ranch! Excellent job, Watera!
What a final kick!!!
WHAT? Did I just see a high school miler run 10.8 in the last 100 meters?

The commentators are great lol
The kick would be impressive if he didn’t finish with a 4:28. I feel like in most states you wouldn’t even qualify for a state meet with that time.
He was just playing with them!
Texas has regional schools. All the athletic/rich people go to big schools everyone else goes to these small local ones
literally, 4:28 is too slow for even my section of the state, let alone the actual state meet
2A schools here in Texas only have 100-200 students enrolled, so yeah very small
bruh its 2a chill out go watch 6a if you wanna watch a fast race but 2a schools are small Texas towns with not a ton of funding
Awesome.....like a BOSS !
That hurt
yo reading out the names on the lane assignments would be a legit hard ass job
Stay in school.
maybe a 4:15 1500m i forgot that the smaller districts have such different standards. this did seem like a tactical race.
Poor Cunningham...ask his body for more and there wasn't any more to be given.
And then, when he was looking at what was passing him, he stepped on the slick aluminum curb. And down he went.
Taylor-Taylor-Taylor...
Cunningham shouldn’t have looked back and lost his balance, you never do that in a race
He might’ve secured second if he just focused ahead of him.
66-second last lap...ooookayyyy
You gotta average 64 all 4 laps just to qualify in most states
Never look back.
Bro ran a 4:28? What??

Why show the crowd how about the runners ?
If you can't describe what just happened move aside for someone who can commentate...
😂😂😂😂
Agreed this girl doesn’t know how to express a race
Is this HS?
You guys are televising a 4:28 mile?
You are going for the win. No cash prizes for breaking records.
Ok Mr. Kelvin Kiptum.
Relax, dude, it's a 4:28, not 3:58
Worst announcing ever. LMAO
Time is too slow to be walking around like a tough guy after
What do you run?
@@gbelchgunnerthefish3438 fast
@gbelchgunnerthefish3438 yeah I'm wondering as well 🤔
Ok Mr. Kelvin Kiptum
