Birnbaum is a beast. If he can pull off the win against Leo on sunday on tired legs it will be the most legendary 3-peat weekend in US highschool history.
@@danspeakz1130hey I was a high school teammate of his, and I overheard him saying that one time. What does redshirting mean, and when will he be back to racing?
I was watching this without sound and was totally surprised when I realized that Hocker was pacing. I was expecting him to go into his kick right there!
3:37.93 at 18 years old. Home Boy could be one of the best ever if he keeps the focus! Hope he can train with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and somehow reach that top of the World level!
Great race!! Was hoping Wisner continue to earn the respect he deserves and voila! He crushed it as did his teammate (Yearian), Birnbaum, Mantz, Gormley, right on down the line. Well done all!
Lo de Conner Mantz lo encuentro espectacular, después de haber tenido un entrenamiento para una maratón en la cual su desempeño fue muy bueno y ahora corriendo 1500 mts de verdad este chico es genial.
@@Thomas-fk3cw Good point. When you are feeling good it is easy to put the pedal down, but going at race effort takes it out of you. Probably not the right time.
Birnbaum is the next Cooper Teare, thats for sure. And what the heck kind of race is this, with people just walking all over the track? Get them off the track! Holy cow. Classless.
guys please either lower the gain or put a compressor on that mic, there are plenty of affordable mixers that can boost the audio quality exponentially
I’d rather be confident in my fitness and racing then going into a pro/collegiate field thinking you’ll get clapped. It’s also his way of enjoying the sport. I would be confident if I could run that fast in high school.
This might sound like a dumb question, but why did two of the guys stop running before they crossed the finish line? Never seen that in a high school Track race.
This isn’t a high school race (just had one high schooler in it). And they are pacers so they lead the pack and stretch out the field a bit so the times aren’t super slow and tactical. Normally with two pacers, one takes it and drops out earlier for the second to take on the race after :)
The boy in the shades need to practise standing infront of mirrors at right angles if possible and or run jog in spot moving arms alongside his body, pull-ups and plyos focusing on vert.
The US mens 1500m is the most competitive event in track and field. I believe I read there are just under 200 currently competing athletes that have run under 3:40 (or 3:57 mile equivalent). And you're right about the 5-7 seconds that would still need to be shaved from that 3:37.9 time to compete near the top on the world stage.
Really like Conner Mantz but he really is not near to being one of the most or did the commentator say ?? the most versatile runner in the world, his times dont stack up, but it was an ok race to watch
@@malcolmspeigle5901 still dumb it’s like if he says ran 4:15 at brooks pr, and he was talking about his mile split *just and example not saying he actually ran that exact split

I think all world records from middle distance on have always had pacers. That is nothing new. And I don't think the athletes really need the lights. I'm not much of a runner, but even I can tell my pace pretty accurately. Now faster tracks, better shoes, supplements, training methods; these are the advantages todays runners have over the past. Although some past athletes may have had better supplements.

Fun fact: Connor Mantz ran 20 miles later the same day as this race
I believe it. He's a beast.
Birnbaum is a beast. If he can pull off the win against Leo on sunday on tired legs it will be the most legendary 3-peat weekend in US highschool history.
It would make Birnbaum one of the best hs distance runners ever
4-peat*
I hope he is able to stay healthy and someday transition into ultra marathon running. I look forward to someday see him talking about 100 mile races
@@Mr.Plant1994 I don’t see him running anything more than like a 10k
@@lukeperfect2154lol facts
Conner Mantz's performance is the most impressive ...after all the marathon training he still managed a decent kick.
100% agreement. World class at 1 mile through 26 of them.
Simeon’s not gonna have any legs after this season if he keeps racing so much holy moly
He'll probably get redshirted this year like Rheinhardt did.
Not that much racing tbh
@@king-qi2ks curious as to what you consider “that” much racing…. He’s raced a lot this past month
I think he’s signed up for the Highschool for the mile tomorrow as well
@@danspeakz1130hey I was a high school teammate of his, and I overheard him saying that one time. What does redshirting mean, and when will he be back to racing?
I was watching this without sound and was totally surprised when I realized that Hocker was pacing. I was expecting him to go into his kick right there!
Same. He likely felt confident and could have but if coach told him to step off he just figured stick to the script and don’t push it
Hahaha same here. At around 1k I was like damn hocker is blowing the field out of the water. 🤦🏽♂️
Loved the drama around whether Cole was pace setting or not
Announcer was clueless in this one. Probably the most entertaining part of the race though.
strongly reminds of the 2012 (fake) irish announcer doing olympic sailing
That was a really solid field.... Birnbaum and 6 others under 3:40.Busy Springtime for Simeone
Connor has a underrated kick
Mantz?
Underrated? Not at all. He was known for his kick in the NCAA CC. He would start his kick with 2k left
3:37.93 at 18 years old. Home Boy could be one of the best ever if he keeps the focus! Hope he can train with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and somehow reach that top of the World level!
who told u simeon was 16💀
well someone was 16 sometime or another LOL
I think he's 18 now
I think he’s 17 or just turned 18, I remember when he broke 4 last year he was 16 at Brooks
@@yothatscharlie8726 You're right he's only 14 years old
The high schooler is just an amazing runner.
Wisner had a sprint at the end. Birnbaum impressed me the first time I saw him race. He impressed me again. Mantz is like Hassan. He runs everything.
Damn Matty Wisner, where did THAT kick come from?
Love to see him doing well.
Simeon is incredible
Shoutout to my guy Matt!
Great race!! Was hoping Wisner continue to earn the respect he deserves and voila! He crushed it as did his teammate (Yearian), Birnbaum, Mantz, Gormley, right on down the line. Well done all!
Props to the actual winner, Matt Wisner.

Birnbaum is oozing charisma
Birnbaum is one of my favorite runners to watch!
Conner mantz stride is fluid. love the high cadence but neat, very bekele like
Good Run.
Why does the announcer keep mentioning a 3000m at the Brooks meet? It was a two mile race there.
Cole could have taken it easily if he had wanted to.
wow thats insane
Seems like he was tempted, but followed coach's plan...maybe went 100 meters past the step-off mark plan?
@@Thomas-fk3cw Good point. When you are feeling good it is easy to put the pedal down, but going at race effort takes it out of you. Probably not the right time.
mantz coming back like that from 6th was impressive
Birnbaum is the next Cooper Teare, thats for sure. And what the heck kind of race is this, with people just walking all over the track? Get them off the track! Holy cow. Classless.
Tons of races are like that. Makes for a great atmosphere and helps the athletes
It's a track meet, the high jumpers are often on track when runners aren't in that area.
Fun Fact: Drink a beer every time the commentator says sunglasses.
I wish Leo young was in this race, I think he could challenge Simeon
guys please either lower the gain or put a compressor on that mic, there are plenty of affordable mixers that can boost the audio quality exponentially
Awesome commentary!! To add on, too often in track you get commentators that sounds like they don't care
That kids in high school... go straight pro
Fax but maybe they want a free education
Two years at Stanford then pro.
@@donshields2379 he’s going to the university of Oregon but alright

Bro the commentator is a D1 Glazing for Simeon 💀💀💀
FAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX BRO
what shoes are they wearing? i cant tell
Birnbaum oozes charisma? Why, exactly?
Confidence might be the better word.

@@matthewkubler05 Speaking of getting clapped, Simeon might want to keep his distance from this announcer.
He meant aarogance. Not sure why this announcer has such a hard on for him. It's annoying.
commentator and rest of T&F world have made Birnbaum into an apparent super star. They'd be well advised to chill out.
That announcer was so bad lol

What was the kids name again?
Haha. Please check basically anybrandom time stamp and announcer will be saying it. 😂
Go matty wizzzzzz
“This high schooler is going to fill the seats”. Not when Hayward now charges 33 dollars to enter the stadium…They’re ruining track town.
I think simeons underestimating leo
good race...wish Cole Hocker would have stayed in...3:35 for sure
Why did that guy drop out after the first lap? Can someone explain?
Are you asking about Dave Ribbich? He was a pacer. I think he went two laps.
The boy in the shades need to practise standing infront of mirrors at right angles if possible and or run jog in spot moving arms alongside his body, pull-ups and plyos focusing on vert.
Coke Hocker was a PACER?? Why wasn’t he in the race!?
U need cut off that time with 6-7 sec to have a future in this distance

wa'
Birmbaum thinks he’s the coolest guy in the world like man you don’t know what the future holds
He is an all-time great at his age. He can be as cool as he wants if that confidence helps fuel success.
Wth is Trevor Lawrence doing in track bruh🤦
MATT WISNER
Really like Conner Mantz but he really is not near to being one of the most or did the commentator say ?? the most versatile runner in the world, his times dont stack up, but it was an ok race to watch
Ribich has to pace make otherwise he’d probs get beaten by hoghschool kids
I thought he ran a 2 mile Birnbaum?
He did idk what the announcer talking bout
The announcer is talking abt Ig his 3000m split during that race
Simeon is going to be special, but his arm carry is so suboptimal! Fix that and boom
Simeon is definitely not the first 16 yo to break 4 min mile
Wassup
That announcer smoking on that pipe where did he get that 8:05 3k time for Birnbaum?

That’s just good coaching! Go after the rabbit not realize he’s a rabbit. Wait yes he’s a rabbit.
