49.5 on the first lap at the high school level is insane. Johnny Gray used to do that and occasionally get away with it at the international level, but he too had many a race that ended up like this, barely walking over the finish line. As @Michael Pleasants alluded to, that last 200 you carry a piano home with you.
Ig he attempted setting a new world record 🤷
If he paced himself he would’ve been around 1:50 no problem
His stride rate was like he was running 400m.
@@seaturtledog He was. He succeeded at that rate longer than most, maybe for 550 then it got slower and more painful. That last 150 is a bent knee race walk and is painful to watch. He even accomplished that far better than most humans.
That is crazy and I bet he was within one or two seconds of his 400m PR. With better splits, he should be able to run sub 1:50
Looks like Good ran a 23.5ish first 200m. Honestly impressed he had the ability to hang on that well, but definitely the most brutal way to run an 8.
Come back is right. He came back to the pack like he was in reverse. Poor guy, he came through at a time that would have won state in the 400.
LMAO
Bro wtf crap state are you in😂😂😂 49.5 wouldn’t even win district/league in California lmao
The 400m winner won in 47.20. But Good might have been able to run that fast in a 400m race if he opened the first lap of this 800m in 49.5 as he didn't look completely dead after the first lap
This dude would be a perfect 600m runner
That's a positive split if i've ever seen one 😂 slow it down to ~52 on that first lap and he could probably be sub 1:50
Bro was going for a world record.
I was hoping that he would do that. Brave move.
not even close, even the women's is faster than that 1st lap pace.
@@retniretep9477 what bro, the wr was run in 49, 50
@@justinknab7348 sry, you're correct, women's world record is 47.60 at 400m but 1:53.28 at 800m (set 50 years ago) so his split is actually faster than the splits ran in 1983 by that "woman."
And his 49.5 first lap is close to Rudisha's 49.28 when he broke the 800m wr.
Greatest comeback... if by "comeback" we mean the lead runner slowing down so much he came all the way back to the pack after having a 50-meter lead.
Major respect to him for going out hard like that. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. But you'll never know if you don't try.
its not a smart way to run. A great 800m runner is a tactician.
@@meisterlymanu5214 That's not the point I was making. The point is that it's very hard to take risks in painful races, and very, very few runners are willing to run to this level of pain. Obviously the race could have been paced better, but that's not the point. The point is that he will never be limited by running timidly. The pacing and strategy will come.
@@Dave-lr2wo the first time a kid even tries a 800m race, he must be told not to do 49.5 first lap. Or youll be walking the last 100. It begs the question, pain, risk or otherwise, who the hell is his coach..
@@meisterlymanu5214
0. It's important to fail. It's important to be willing to fail. Failure is growth opportunity.
1. The guy has a PR of 1:51. He's obviously run the race before. He wanted to take the risk.
2. A "running career" is not equal to one race. A running career is a "series of races".
3. I have coached many kids and competed many times with people unwilling to run without fear and there is more to be gained in the long term by running a race with sheer commitment and failing than running a thousand races fearfully or conservatively.
4. As I stated in the original post -- major kudos to this athlete for trying. Yes, he could have been more tactical, but he obviously felt strong and wanted to test himself. It shows real character to go for it like that.
@@Dave-lr2wo no, its african american bravado tactics. They just cant embrace conservative, tactical running. And they have Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya to emulate. They choose not to.
That was a top of the line Steinway grand piano!
bro was on world record pace first 400 😂
Coach- “Alright give me a good strong first lap and maintain a good pace and last 150 give it all you got.”
**goes through first lap**
Coach- “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, DAVID RUDISHA?”
They say "no guts no glory". Well, on that day, Mr Good embodied that. What a gutsy performance by this young man. He's a brave soul who's fearless. I dont know if thats his normal race tactic (to go out hard & fast), but that day, he went hard. Completely unafraid & bold. I applaud the young man because he literally left it all on the track. Keep your head up and keep getting better, Mr Good. 💪🏾🤜🏾
I agree. What that young man did was put it all on the line. I don’t care that he didn’t finish first, and he shouldn’t either. He will continue to get better and better, but he’ll always remember he gave it his all for this race. To do what he did, going through in 49.5, its almost unreal. His ability is phenomenal. With time and training and building strength, he can be an elite runner at the international level. Great job.
@@TheSecondWitness Him going out sub 50 WAS unreal.. even pro’s don’t go out that fast on the first lap lol Well, some have but even they can’t keep that pace up
Going out in 49.5 might be "gutsy", but really it's just incredibly dumb strategy, because he had zero chance of holding that pace for two laps. He was barely able to finish.
After first 200 I said to myself, "My guy thinks he's running a 400"
I'll keep it short... Good's coach should be fired 🔥
Title needs to be reworded incredibly fast start holds on to finish race. We all knew it wasn’t going to end well for him
Reminds me of how I used to run the 800m come out Around 50 to 51 seconds Then hold on for dear life.. lol 1:50 was my hs best I wish I had a coach that would've taught me some kind of strategy😅😅
Are you the Stephen Williams from Marion IL multiple time State Champion?
@@benmanion1830 yes that's me..
@@stephenwilliams7200 You were a special talent for sure. I am from the area originally and my parents live in Marion and my sister is one of the VPs at 1st Southern Bank (formerly Bank of Marion).
wow almost tasted Sub-1:50 😏
@@benmanion1830 thank you vary much I appreciate it. I never ran after hs life it me hard! It's crazy people still remember me from all them years back.
that is what you call learning the lesson the hard way.
Bruh.. when I saw he went sub 50 on the first lap.. I was like MF going for the WORLD RECORD.. forget state/meet record lol But I was wasn’t surprised to see him have to literally WALK across the finish line LOL I bet that last 200 was the most painful thing he has ever been through in his life lol
Heartbreaking - and comical. 49-second first lap? He ALMOST made it. A real (and painful) teachable moment.
Excellent! I'll remember the name #1 Good (Western Guilford) ran 1:54.03 I would love to see how fast he can run 600 meters. The power and motivation. He just said I will try something different. First 400 in 49.5 plus that fast 600 pass time. Super Fast! All Heart!
you gotta respect him
For real, if that was a 600 meter race, he may have set some kind of record.
and this is why you don’t run a 49.5 your first lap. Shocked it took him that long to die
he lowkey sprinted until he couldn't anymore lmfao every step was his hardest 😂
His 600 split was probably his best split
The 49.5 guy didn't need to miss the podium. He absolutely quit once he got passed. If he hadn't put the brakes on in frustration, he'd have had third place.
Lotta potential here, but a 49.5 quarter is what you run if you're looking at a 1: 41 or 42 half. Gutsy, but simply too fast. Hope to see this kid continue to push himself.
Pacing yourself wins , but you have to admirer the guy that took it out so fast but couldn't hold on in the end .
That is the certified most painful way to run an 800
Not sure what’s the harder race the 400m 800m or 1600m all three seem to take extreme toughness and strategy.
Geez, can’t we be real here? The victor was lactic acid!
“49 to a 1:04,” he came in trying to set a world record. He ran his own race, definitely could have won if he paced better.
Dave Wottle 72' Olympics 800 final, from dead last on bad knees.
I fail to see how a complete lack of discipline on one runner's part equates to the greatest comeback for another runner. That finish was predictable by 150 meters in.
Switching to another topic, it would be great if the commentators could learn how to refrain from talking over the announcers at these meets.
Completely ruined the announcing.
oh wait i have to run a second lap??
I had a feeling it was not going to turn out well. A 49 first quarter???
Should be titled Greatest 800m Choke in NC TF Histiry
Guy thought he was Secretariat....
wait, so the record from 40 years ago was 1:59.39 and all 8 of these guys displayed at 4:08 had significantly better times than that
Kids got some real talent. Just needs coaching and experience.
I'm seeing a trend of people going all out on the first lap and getting monstered by the end.
Forward planning isn't easy for some.
Should change the caption to greatest choke.
The runner who got ran down had a long walk back to his team. Thats what we call the wall of shame. He started race walking
He did great.
49.5 on first lap for a high school runner? Not even Rudisha does that. He must have known he was in deep trouble passing the clock for the last lap
He probably did not realize he was running too fast until it was too late. Then after getting passed must have surprised him… that’s unfortunate but probably can’t judge him based on one race, that would be ridiculous… (like most people in the comments 😅)
2 seconds slower first lap would of made the difference.
He won the 600 m, but it was an 800 m race.
Hitting 23 for the first 200 kinda sets you up for failure
thumbnail spoiler, thx
Blud went out in 49
That's simply poor coaching at the state meet. Your athlete shouldn't be going out at 49. Coaching matters.
He should have been in the 400 lol
Fifth place and dangerously decides to just stop at the line.
He was jogging the last 200 😭😭
That wasn't jogging. That was rigor mortis.
He would have beaten Keeley Hodgkinson by 0.2 seconds
There’s no way 50 sec was a good idea
Not the greatest comeback due to the greatest slowdown.
All that work, only to quit running 10 meters from the wire, ending up off the podium, 5th.
Not so much a comeback than the guy up front running out of gas.
Embarrassing in front of so many. Easily would have had a state title if he were more disciplined.
Wasn't a comeback. They ran it right. Guy just gassed himself
Not the greatest comeback. Dude went out like a fool lol
Bad coaching......poorly trained.
How disrespectful of the runner dropping down just beyond the finish line with other runners right behind him, he could have caused some major injuries!
It's amazing he was conscious at that point.
really a terrible collapse by a guy going out way way way too hot and then dying, not so much a great comeback
Greatest 800m comeback? (rubbish), the front runner took off thinking it was a 400m race and predictably ran out of gas, that lactose release became too paralyzing for him in the end!. These untrue misleading RUclips Titles have got to be banned... i'm sick of all the lies for views!
Monkey rode that dude on the last 100 🤣
pushed to hard and fizzled. he was nearly dead at the end. couldn't even hold onto fourth place.
holy crap, has this guy ever run an 800m before? the first lap was literally world record pace
