    I'm starting to wonder if Nico can pull of a "Bob Kennedy" and win NCAA as a frosh. He was fearless out there.

      @Unclecarlfather 3 года назад +22

      Same if he keeps getting stronger this year you never know. I swear the kid can be half as fit as someone else but still beat them simply because he knows how to run until he pukes. It’s rare to see top athletes go to the well like that but he does it every race. I’d say he’s as fit right now as yard Ngoose but has the mental toughness of PRE give him grivalja type speed and stamina and we have an ncaa champion

    • @Unclecarlfather
      @Unclecarlfather 3 года назад +9

      That’s of course assuming he can develop NAU is great at developing athletes so I’m sure he will make more big jumps this year. Nico’s a beast that has mental toughness like I haven’t seen before he had the efficiency of your average 16-16:30 5k guy in high school but was running 14’s

      Would have to put an asterisk next it though, since Nats is in March. My understanding is that Nico was hurt last fall when it normally would have taken place.

      Late but I remember. Two beast performances from the two. Natty Champ is the all time accomplishment for Mantz and an entry 4th place finish for the freshman is outstanding. Props to both during this time.
