I like how that kid fell, came back to all the way to first place before shutting down, and the commentators didn't say a single thing 😂 😂 😂 it's like he wasn't even part of the race LOL
I don’t think they noticed 😭 what a baller though. Can’t imagine the lactic acid he must’ve felt.
And they didn't really talk about Kessler being behind either.
I was going to race him last week but coach pulled us out of the meet unfortunately. Probably would’ve destroyed me either way
@@geographyvibes5624 LMAOOO
My guess is the commentator was looking down at his notes or something. It was still odd tough because that sequence occurred over the space of about 1/2 the track with no mention lol.
A little over 60 for the first lap and 54 for the second. The fast guys knew their only chance was to go out slow and to try to outsprint Kessler. Almost worked.
Thanks for the splits. They could have at least included the final time.
his 4x8 split was a 1:47
@@ellisondna2 and he nearly pulled off the comeback
The strategy to beat someone with a good kick is to go out fast though.
@@dhirajpallin2572 well yeah but I mean neither of those guys are in 1:48 shape so I think that may have only hurt them
the commentator was so focused on him he didn’t say anything about the kid falling
Hes the one who had a good chance to beat Kessler too… ran a 1:54 earlier in the season
@@joeysinsane4283 He had no chance to beat Kessler. Hobbs runs sub 1:50 when he is trying. Today was just about doing the minimum effort to get the W at the High School state meet. He just ran the US HS national record in the 1500M less than a week ago and he has the Olympic trials in two weeks. He ran a 4:15 1600M to win, when he is capable of running close to 3:51. Nobody in this race had a chance.
@@staceman7981 yea I meant about this race, Hobbs had already run a 800 relay and the mile before and it was close to 90 degrees today, (so the fact that he still ran a solid 800 is amazing). But if Connor vachon didn’t trip he’d be right in there with him
He fell...adrenaline rush got him back in first then the rush faded. Tough break for the kid.
@@user-ln8ml9nt4o Agreed. Very tough break for him. While I doubt he would have been able to beat Hobbs, I would never wish such bad luck on a young kid. You want everyone to get a fair shot at the win given that these are typically once in a lifetime opportunities.
A FloTrack title that isn't click bait... I can't believe it.
Not click bait, just a spoiler.
If you saw him pump his arms at the finish line you understand that this still meant a lot to him. Winning state is important but the way he raced is even more impressive
I was hoping the kid who fell would have a comeback
He literally runs a 3:34 15 so i’m not surprised
naw fam. I think he figuratively did that
@@diskoeric2248 no he did run that, just search it up
@@shomariboulet He was making a grammar joke
@@shomariboulet r/whoosh
Literally?
Always close the door kids. Though he looked strong enough to pass them outside anyway.
I’m always shocked when athletes just let someone take them on the inside. I even watch professional track athletes allow that crap. Such poor tactical running. Dumb.
He can run a much faster 800m than 1:54 as that's slow for a guy that ran 3:34 for 1500m. You can tell he was just playing in that race. Outstanding runners like this don't come around very often. Not only did he break the national 1500m highschool record but his time was better than the NCAA record too! Incredible!
Very true. A 3:34 1500 equates to a 1:54 800
That and he was probably DEAD TIRED from running a balls out 1:47 earlier in the day. He was literally praying for it to be a sit and kick for which he would win most likely (also saves his strength for bigger priorities).
Wish the guy who fell wouldn't have spent so much so early trying to get back into it. You just can't recover from that. Hope he gets another chance next year (?)
@Brendan Wangler Got to love his guts (and obvious talent). Always love to see that hunger.
Y’all gotta post Terrance Muex 46.52 as well
Wonderful kid in the green shirt fell over, and was back in the shot 6 seconds later, promptly took the lead - expending all his anaerobic energy. Should have eased his way through. I always remember Rob de Castella talk about that and it's the one thing that stuck with me. Nonetheless, he has true grit and that quality will ensure he is going places.
Yeah, poor guy. The adrenaline overtook him.
His running form is beautiful!
Y’all gotta post Terrence Muex 46.52
Was fun to win the 4x100m relay against Hobbs Kessler thanks Flotrack🙄
Yo is that you? Nice
It really is incredible to run a 61 first lap and still have the strength to dial up a 52 closer.
@matt Harvey see I never ran anything longer than 400 in hs, neither did I ever cover the distance faster than 54 seconds, so yeah. Centro and Engels better stay on top of American mid distance as long as they can
Good stuff from my boy Suliman
Never let someone come on your left side. Man came in second need to work on his arms.
Now that's a gear change......such an advantage in middle distance. Good luck Hobbs.
Great finishing kick
That's a whole man right there 🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
He’s only 18
@@RobertChris_Obi yep.....I still feel like it's unfair for those boys to run with an 18 year old man 😅
@@kiddo_thegeneralwsd2236 he only recently turned 18, he’s normal age for a senior in highschool
@@RobertChris_Obi he's just too good for those boys
Omg I was there so epic
Toying with them.
Hobbs Kessler wins the road mile 2023 world record, Michigan's beloved runner.
An amazing athlete shown by the fact he is only about three seconds off Jacob Ingerbritsen and look how far he has progressed in last three years, wishing him luck at US olympic trials,
Can’t wait to see my bro compete at the trials.
Hobbs > Shaw
Nice reference😂
Hobbs = Calvin
62 first half, 52 second half if you go by the times on the video. 1:54 and change total. 0:31, lapt 2 starts at 1:33, then finishes at 2:25.xx.
He also ran a 1:48 earlier.
I was the sophomore in black and purple who got boxed in this race sucked
hobbs was just messing with them to be honest
Na I was there after the 1:47 4/8 split and after the 1600m he was actually a little tired
@@lukecampbell8465 Thanks for the insight, I was also there and I talked to him after the race and he said he just ran it to sit and kick.
@@liamelder2181 yea I was bored I just felt like saying something. At the state meet I got to meet Mike Smith and Alan Webb. Did you see em CRAZY
@@lukecampbell8465 Yea I talked to Alan Webb but I didn’t run into Mike
The guy that finished 2nd deserved to finish 2nd. Pushing out to the 2nd lane to prevent someone from passing you on the outside, but then gets passed on the inside. It makes me happy when I see this.
Passed on the inside😎
The runner who could've had the lane blocked out must've figured that no one was back there to challenge them, though the way he ended he could've probably passed them on the outside if he had to.
his form is nasty
crazy what r’s can do for a person
Same guy edged him in the 4 by 800, 1:50 guy
Miles brown. Both are fast, great respect for both.
hobbs split 1:47 to comeback in that
Did you see how far back Hobbs was?
What is up with that track? The finish line is at center field pretty much!
wow, they just gave him the inside path in that final 100
I was thinking the same thing. Make him run around you!
I was there I witnessed it 😦
He really said..... zooooooommmm 🚗
Where's the timer bro??? I don't want to wait till the end to see how fast they ran.
Yeah ive raced this guy...
Hats off to Kessler because obviously he's a beast. But like I said with his 1600, dude could just take it from the first second and gone for state record
Let’s go!
Flo track no split
Geez
This is his 1500m pace
Crazy finish! Yuriy Borzakovskiy style.
Hobbs Kessler - future Olimpic champion!
I can't say much good about the narration on this race. As in the 1600 there was no times given at the splits . Also why couldn't they also have had a running time on the screen?
I was guy in purple and it was poopy
Rip
he just playing with these dudes at this point 🤣 so effortless
Right he could have went sub 3:55 in the mile
How about some splits next time
Bro this man really let them get like 15m ahead of him, just to hawk them down with the crowd cheering at the home stretch. What a menace
Hobbs is incredible, but did these guys really just let him pass them from the inside lane 👀!?
Nice
Kessler's national HS 1500 record is faster than the NCAA record. Bonkers.
Blue shorts, white top. Commentator had me watching 4th place. Lmao.
Would have been interesting to have the splits...:(
Around 60 for lap 1 and around 54 for lap 2. Big negative split
I know he didn’t just less gooo 👉😁👈 2:25
Wow way to pace it
amateur move to keep the inside open. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
Announcer is a "maroon", Hobbs took the baton in the 4X800 relay at least 10 yards back and almost won that race too. This Kid is going to be a generational talent. The announcer should use his excellent voice to just read other peoples words. Like buy these pancakes, they are yummy! IMHO
Wow
12 runners in a 800 Final??
what state?
Michigan
He's gonna be a PROBLEM
Like Waddle but better form
Ooh, this kid is really good. Finishing speed like that as a high schooler? Yikes.
He came around that last 200 in what 23?
26 about
I’m the 4th place guy who got shit on
Fancy seeing you here, good job man
4th place in this race is nothing to be ashamed of.
Where the heck did kessler come from???
his house
Was the commenter even watching the race? Terrible job.
The guy in full blue attire went out too fast too early, just my assumption. Plse don't get angry
Did you see the split time?!? The beginning of the race was extremely slow! Personally I think they should’ve been going faster. Most of these guys were 1:52 runners.
What in gods name is he doing, this is hardly slower than his 1500m pace.
I like how they only show the races Hobbs won even tho his best race all day was his insane split in the 4 by 800 that would have been the best race to watch
His time??
1:54
he did run 1:47.9 in the 4x8 but barely lost
@@theballer4150 how does a high schooler run 1:47.9 without absolutely destroying the field
@@nateroberts877 Hobbs got the baton a couple of seconds behind the first place guy. He closed the gap pretty well but he didn't overtake him in time.
must be nice to live in a state where a 1:54 wins a state title
They ran slow cause they know Hobbs pr is 1:47, so they tried to sit back and try and out kick him
most of these guys are 1:52 runners, they thought hobbs was going to lead.
The best runners come from this state. My high school classmate had the fastest 1500 meter time in the world in 1995. Also, the best runners now are all bred in the state of Michigan.
CHIN
TO HIP
When you leave the inside lane wide open you deserve to get beat!
Got hug the inside more
NO TIME???????
These commentators really don’t be doing anything useful 😭
Ambiguous
Not on my watch if you’re not my teammates you’d have to go around sir
Hobbs > Cole
Entertaining, but such a bad race. What was that first lap pace.... and the people kicking at 400m.... That's just not how you run the 800m.
this is like lebron james playing against a JV high school team
Can’t post the 1600 because he ran soft for the win in 4:17 instead of going for sub4
he split 1:47 in the 4x8
The guy who finished 2nd didn't run a smart race. Next time I HOPE he learns to NOT lead unless you KNOW you have a strong finish.
WTH was the split? The announcer sucks
First
What event do u do?
The you tube comment medley.
The video just showed Hobbs finishing first
Jesus, that's some awful commentary. Kid falls down and then races back to the front and gets no mention. He doesn't call out any 400 splits followed by 30 seconds of dead air (mercifully) and then doesn't announce the final time at the line. Guy oughta be ashamed of himself. It's like he chose this for his community service sentence.
Wow great race, horrible commentating. Dear God
