53-51 split is wild!
thats insane, then he would be capable of 1:43 low
If he was in Tokyo Olympics, he would have possibly won the gold. Emmanuel Korir did exactly the same - 53-51.
incredible Us talent right there .....
I can’t even run an all out 53 😂
@@dans_7956 no because the Olympics was a few years ago, Will Sumner wasn’t as good than
The announcers were dead on. Sumner just walked off the finish line while everyone else looked like they were about to keel over. What an asolute beast
This guy should be getting huge pro offers right now. A 1:44 low with a negative split in a championship race is crazy. I think there's a solid chance he makes the US 800 team.
he will make the Us Team this summer
If he chooses he will win the Olympic qualifier. Hoppel and Murphy will be 4 guys back waiting to kick.
He should go pro rn, he’s waisting time at Georgia
@@yungaj3141 I disagree, there is so much pressure going pro. NIL makes me more feasible to stay in college too.
@@isitrachelorj3953 brazier is still a thing, finally getting healthy after years of injury.
"I knew I had to make it hurt for them."
Probably the most badass post race phrase I've ever heard. Heart of a lion
future olympic medalist right there
He's got a certain composure about him that makes him special.
Gold medalist* put some respect on this dude's name. JEEZ!
Lmaoooooooo you ain’t beating continental africans. Americans have always been trash at 800m. This guy has no chance and will get slammed against real runners
@@DavidSmith-fw3if a 144 is going to win a gold medal? Lmfaooooooo
@Arsenio's ESL Podcast not a gold but as an 18 yr old kid he got potential that's all bruh was tryna say prolly
Insane negative split! I was critical of him running 1:46 in the semis, thinking he used too much energy. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Couldn’t happen to a nicer kid either.
Negative splitting a 1:44 is insanely good. Means he has the closing speed and strength to compete on the world level
With the strength and speed ( ran 21.5 and 45 in HS) I think he definitely could be someone to go 1:40 in his career
@@brysonhunter6991 And he can run in the 16:00s for 5k high school cross country
@@matthewcarlton5693 honestly I bet everyone in this heat did/can do that. They have to have very impressive aerobic base to run these times
@@matthewcarlton5693 how is that relevant? His 800 is leagues above that
@@mizzium4870 It is relevant as he is an incredible athlete, how may 200 runners can run respectable high school x-c? Not many.
Athing Mu, and Keely Hodgkinson, were 18 when they took Gold & Silver at the Olympics 22 months ago. College freshmen age and the best in the world.
Now Roisin Willis, Juliette Whittaker, and Will Sumner are all true freshman and also the best collegiates in the country. Weird how the 800 has worked out that way.
21-23 is typically the peak age for 800m runners. these true freshman are advancing at the typical pace that most runners in this discipline. rudisha hit the world record at 21
@@JoseHernandez-kb4oh what about the Kenyans?
@@JoseHernandez-kb4oh rudisha was 23
@@declanmulligan3265 when he set his lifetime PR, yes, but he was 21 when he first broke the WR in 2010. And yeah, the 400 and 800 are each really a young athletes' game for the most part, even more so than the short sprints.
Michaela Rose's sophomore but I'd put her up there as well!
With strong competition, this guy will run in 1.42. 51" on the second lap is impressive as hell.
To beat his previous PR by almost 2-seconds is nothing short of amazing. Hope Will has something left in the tank for U.S. nationals.
Beautiful run. His dad broke my national record in the 600m in 1989.
Sure
@@Dvnwee The New York Times reported on March 12, 1989, that in the New York State championships "[Brad] Sumner, a senior, posted a national indoor record for the boys' 600-meter run with a time of 1:19.56. The previous record of 1:20.34 was set in this meet last year by Ian Jones of Nazareth, Brooklyn."
@@rossbest6561 sure
@@Dvnwee Sure
@@Dvnweeyou look like a right mug now
Went straight to the front and never looked back.. that was Rudisha-esque! Simply brilliant.
Sumner ran the flat 400 in 45.7 IN HIGH SCHOOL. That's just 0.2 slower than Rudisha's all-time 400 PR, which he ran when he was 22 years old. And Sumner is significantly smaller and lighter than Rudisha, which may serve him well in the 800.
@@randyevermore9323 You raise an excellent point. Amongst 800m runners, Sumner is an exceptional standout in terms of his basic sprint speed (a 21.55 200m, and a 45.7 400m as you said), which when coupled with his clear room for continued physical development, bodes well for his future upside in the event. I wonder if he'll continue to carefully increase his mileage throughout the seasons or if he'll stay with low volume. With years of thorough aerobic development he very well may be the first man under 1:40.
Huge performance for Sumner!
Runs so smoothly it’s beautiful to watch.
Yeah, super smooth. He reminded me of Wyade Van Niekerk, when he set the world record and won Gold at the Rio Olympics 400meters.
He’s not even as tired as he SHOULD be😂 this mf off the chain!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He looked plenty tired. Probably tons of adrenaline from winning
Will. All of Woodstock Ga is watching and rooting for you young man! You make us so proud on so many ways. I will buy you your next buffet at Cancun restaurant next visit back to town!
Moving up from 10 to 15 miles a week certainly paid off
I still refuse to believe that, but he could be a force the next couple years.
imagine if he ran 130 miles a week at 9 minute pace😯😯
World class performance. He looked easy.
Textbook performance. Perfection.
Doesn't tie up at all at the end. He makes that 1:44 look easy! Go Sumner!
Will Sumner go to World champs this summer?! 53-51 split. Insane
yes
Cade Flatt punching the air rn
When I heard her ran 115 indoors in high school for the 600 I knew one of the greats was announcing to the world he was a player.
Congrats to Will Sumner hes a great talent he showed incredible strenght in that race.
Way to go Will! I know your mom and dad are so proud!
Negative split is insane
Second 400m run ......summer mind-blowing.......that a spirit bro
unimpeded flow is crucial in the 800 such that when McCarthy got bumped, his race was OVER
I felt so bad for him. I know this is an aggressive race, but he got bumped around too much and too early. Good thing he's a sophomore and will most likely get another shot at the NCAA championships.
Negative splitting from up front is INSANE. The USA 800 team has been subpar the past few years but I have a very good feeling about Sumner.
Can’t wait to see him in the US championships
Rep your city Will👊🏾 Woodstock GA
1:44?!?! Holy fuck...
Yusuf B also ran really well. Poor guy is being ignored for only running a 1:45.
He made it look so so easy. Future Olympic medalist!!
incredible time. think about it....a very fast sprint for 100m is 10 seconds or a bit less. this guy just ran 800m in an average of 13 seconds per 100m!!
Very impressive 800m! With proper pacing, Sumner can run 1:43. I think he has a future in the 1500 if he ever trained for the distance. You can’t teach 44 second 400m speed and I think the kid can stretch to 1500
Lol he could have done that today! Why would he want to run 1500 with 44 - 400 speed? Name one world class 15 guy EVER that could have done that?
nah. He was a 45 runner in high school, I think he's a stronger 400/800 runner
@@PaulJohnson-zk1yr he has the body of a distance runner. Projecting his growth, I don’t think he can hang with the 400m specialists at the next level. The 800 is more of a distance race. Sumner gives me Seb Coe vibes. He’s just a remarkable talent. Hope that he stays healthy and happy with running
@Zephyr the Seb Coe comparison is such a ridiculous take.
@@mariqstigler2197 that was my point. Why would a 1.44 - 19 yr old with sub 45 relay speed, move up to 1500? Seb coe? How?? How about Donavon brazier would be more reasonable
If he would’ve came thru the first 400 a li faster he def would’ve ran 1:43 that’s crazy bro
Dude is a freshman too!
Best performance so far at these ncaa!
what an absolute beast
watching Will run always gives me chills
That man just walked off as if he helped build the stadium. Too easy
Middle distance running is on fire right now. Must be contagious.
Sumner is a bad man. His future looks BRIGHT.
My god, he really woke up that beast inside him
It's crazy and motivative.
Bro he isn't even breathing hard at the end 😭
Very impressive! 🤩💪
That man is different
wow. just wow.
1:44 off of a 53???!!!
Georgia running has stepped it up this season!
Dudes an animal, made it look so easy this kid still has so much life left in his running career. Can’t wait to see what he can do in the pros
Here’s a fun fact, Dave Wottle went 53.5, 52.3. Sumner just went 53.18, 51.07.
That 400m speed is no joke
??????? um, today's tracks are trampolines compared to munich in '72. SUPER SPIKES are breaking every record in every event. give sumner dave wottle's leather adidas shoes on that old cinder track and he'd run 1:50 tops fun fact.
That was a amazing!
These college times are wild!!!
Wow, Amazing..
45,90 PB in 400m when he was 18, high speed base.
great front running
Where is Cade Flatt when you need him?
I wanna know who that guy was who was going crazy in the background at the finish
How much did it hurt for you? "a lot---a lot"
insane!
Omg and he’s just a freshman just imagine how fast he’ll be when he’s 25/26ish and his body is fully developed!!
That is how you race!!!
That young man is a future Diamond League star.
Came back for revenge from the indoor szn
Wow!
Hope this kid shows up for the 2024 olympic trials, he totally has a chance to make the team
Truly the next Donavan Brazier!
I knew this guy was something special early, when I saw him anchor a victorious 4x4 for UGA against tough competition. Unfortunately now, he looks too tired for the upcoming 4x4 . .
It helps have Godwin and Boling helping him train (et.al.)
In the words of Munson...
"My God, a Freshman!"
That man handled his business on his home track.
Vincy man in 3rd. 🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
1:45 won the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Wanna see him at nationals
👀🔥 DAWGZ!
WOW
Props to the Texas runner for at least trying lol
Was the video laggy for anyone else?
Nice one.
Absolutely fantastic NCAA time and awesome to see a negative split for once! Also, kudos for being brave and leading from pole to pole. Very Rudisha-esque.
Congrats to Bizimana on the silver. \m/_
He beat Steve Ovett's PR
Dude literally looks like he could do it again.
Why must we know who win from thumbnail
He made that look way too easy.....
Sumner is now as fast as, or faster @ 800m than Bayi, Walker, Ovett, Ryun, Snell, Steve Scott, Paige, Doubell, Ngeny, Andrews, Centrowitz(s), El Guerrouj, Morceli, Lagat, Kirov. He's what, 19? Can Will Sumner break the 3:40 mile?!
Easily sub 1:44 if he's pushed
❤
Better to be the hunter than the hunted? Seems like that metaphor is inapt for most races.
Will Sumner go to World champs this summer?1 53-51 split. Insane
he should easily qualify for it at Trials
Nice play on the name there!
Wait, wait, wait.
Did he just NEGATIVE split a 1:44?
Phenomenal!!! That's how you win a race! The 1500 guys should take a lesson from this!
He’s basically running faster than all US pro athletes in this distance…should consider going pro if financials make sense.
11 seconds faster than the Women's pro champ in Paris last week. Nah, men don't have an advantage.
World record in his future? Pretty tough but who knows.
How tf…
Is this a SCHOOL RECORD for UGA!!!!!!
I guess they reversed that weird dq...
