- Thank you to @athsexclusive for allowing us to share this race footage. It is of Cameron Myers running a 3:40.6 1500m. Which is only 0.64 of a second away from Jakob Ingebrigtsen's 1500m age group world record of 3:39.92. Cameron has all of the season to break this 1500m world record, so expect it to fall.
This is 3:56 mile pace...
LETTTTTTTSSSSS GOOOOOOOOO!! I'm sorry for not commenting recently, but I think this is just insane. As the years go on and the talent increases and training becomes better and better young athletes start popping off!! I'm scared to see how fast high schoolers will be in 4-5 years 🏃💨
You're forgiven
Thats insane for a 16 year old, but to be honest, he looks older, I always wondered if a rapid growth would give you an advantage for this types of Age group world records...
Yeah i yhought for the entire race that it was the guy in the cap who was 16
@@crazycuber8440 I was thinking it was the guy in the gold tank who was leading after the pacer dropped out.
@@crazycuber8440 he's a world gold medallist Paralympian and he's 23 lol
it would, but I also think there's still many people who are built like this at 16 and don't run quite as fast. So I'm unsure where the growth advantage lies
@@Trackstaa_ There is a growth advantage for sure at different ages. I was one of the bigger kids 7th to 9th grade and even tho certain things in athletics were easier like weight lifting, it won't make you BETTER at all athletic things. That kid's speed is the result of training and dedication.
By the end of 9th grade the other kids out grew me and I noticed kids that I could previously beat with ease, THAT was no longer true. AT some point, it's about training, not just natural ability.
Lol it’s so funny seeing people mess up WRS by celebrating early
that was my original thought. but I don't think it was worth 0.64 of a second. Very close though, I assume he'll break it before his birthday in June
@@Trackstaa_ Nah I think it was. If he doesn’t up getting it then he will regret that lol.
@@Clift0n could well have been enough. He looked cruising though so hopefully he’ll get it
Nah, it didnt look like he slowed down that much fron the celebration. Carried his momentum well and threw the arms up in the last 5-10metres. I dont think it made more than 0.2 of a difference.
Hahah, I didn’t have any idea of the record
Wow, so effortless. His stride actually looks very similar to Jakob's.
true
Exactly what I was thinking
Amazing effortless running style
Much smoother than Jakob. Not saying he will be as good. Possibly
@@anneshaw9681 No, you can't get much smoother than Jakob.
Says he is 17 years old on World Athletics, still amazing. His 1:50 in the 800m after just turning 16 is insane.
So for some reason world athletics sets a lot of juniors date of birth to 01/01. He turns 17 in June
@@Trackstaa_ I see that now. I guess since they haven't verified his age actually.
Cheers to our faithful Australian friends from the US. Incredible performance.
Australian Athletics is still going strong
Very strong
Fantastic talent, absolutely very exciting years ahead of him. That being said, Jakob Ingebrigtsen at 16 did only run one 1500 race where he needed to run all out, that season and it was in this Diamond League in Stockholm.
It was also very windy, 6-8 m/s, and when he didnt manage to stay in the main group from the start, he was more or less running solo 20 meters behind them. And did 3.39.92.
He would without doubt have been running 2-3 seconds faster under better circumstances that summer. The next season he did 3.31.......
Yeah for sure. Ingebrigtsen was still proportionally ahead
Myers broke Ingebrigtsen's mile age world best tonight 3:55.44
I read 16 year old World Record
And thought. WOAH❗ then I realized they're talking about Age Group World Record. Still amazing.
Commentary reminds me of
horseracing!
I'm English living in England and played for the school football team, on one occasion the running team were a runner short so asked me if i would compete in the 800m, we had 8 runners from our school and there were 8 from another school. I thought to myself before the race that they would probably take it easy for the first lap then pick up the pace for the final lap and half.
The whistle went to start the race and the rest of the runners sprinted away like it was the 100m, i was in last position but i said to myself i wasn't going to finish last, so ran my heart out to get into 15th place, once i did i thought 14th place would be even better so again i gave everything and so it went on 13th place, 12th place etc until the final bend and was in 5th place with the 4th place runner in just front, one more final push, he wasn't slowing down, i gave everything but couldn't go any quicker now, then with 10 metres to go he dropped of his pace i got the 4th place, i was completely gone, my legs stayed stiff for three days afterwards, i stayed with playing football which i truly loved, i was more a stop and start runner so could last the 90 minutes, but after that i had total admiration for the runners teams and athletes in general, the level they get to is amazing.
Thats a cool story mate, appreciate the respect, keep the running up!👍🏼
He keeps it up and he’ll be a contender for gold at the Olympics one day soon.
i actually have met him a couple of times and seen him run in real life as we got to the same TT (time trials) and he always seems to fly ahead
Running form looks very smooth, not much energy wasted.
If he was American this would have been hyped up as hell. Unfortunately still a great achievement almost similar to jakob and also he was running with ease not struggling. hope he will have a great future in endurance running
Fact: if he hadn't raised his arms in victory before crossing the line, he'd'a got the record. Seriously, cross the damn line, kids.
yeah, that cost.
Yeah he had no clue about the record. But I don’t think it would’ve mattered. It for sure wasn’t 0.6 of a second
Myers raising his arms up at the end made no difference in is time. It was for a fraction of a second and at that speed it wouldn't matter. Even for a sprinter there would be slight impact. It always amazes me how people speculate on trivial matters. Now look at me speculating!!! 😂😅
For sure that cost him time.
Throwing your arms up like that throws for off balance just enough to slow you down.
Run through ‘the tape’ for goodness sake.
Oh my god you think he lost 7/10ths by raising his arms in last metres. 7/10ths is about 5m at least.
Can't even process this. That's about a 3:57 mile!!! My best as a 16 year old was around 4:45 for the mile and I won 90% of the time (1980). Are they all teenagers? Look how fast these kids are if so! He could have gone under 3:40 but it looked like he was only giving it about 98% and just cruised the last 10 meters.
aussies do it best! this is actually my home track lmao.
other interesting results: 11 yo girl(sophie hall, different sophie to me) came 4th in open womens, 4:28, rumoured to be age group world record?!
Whattttttt?!!?!!!??!!?
assuming that he could keep that pace for a further 100m that would be equivalent to a 3m 56.4 mile. Remember Bannister and Landy?
I did my my first sub 5 mile just after high school graduation in 4:53 back in 1982.
What high schoolers do these days is just insane!
very smooth, very controlled. More in the tank.
yep
Must have lost a few seconds at start and had heaps left in the tank. The faster he went at the end of the race the smoother he looked. Like a Ferrari. Amazing. Never seen such a smooth runner
First, very impressive 🫡
very impressive indeed
beautiful stride
Would be great if we had the details of the race too, like the event and the times.
I'll check and add it to the caption
Ay, goy. Whaddya think this is? It's RUclips!
what a stud
Australia ❤ Vic ❤
Let's see it done on cinders.
It's a video that really impressed me
It’s actually a 3:59 mile equivalent
I’d say for sure 3:58. It’s 3:56 pace and only 100m more
This title is click bait...the world record is 3:26 and this is just an age group record, not THE world record as the title suggests.
That's why I'm going to give this a thumbs down. I hate that type of...!
The title is exactly what happened. “16 year old runs a 3:40 1500m and just misses the world record”
Like you just said the WR is 3:26. So you know from the title he ran 3:40. Not clickbait at all
@@Trackstaa_ WRONG, I didn't know what the world record was until after I clicked on the video...almost no one can tell you what the 1500 world record is off the top of the head and I was surprised to learn that it was as low as 3:26. CLICK BAIT
@@CaneFu can you specify exactly what clickbait is in this? He just missed the world record. A age group world record is still a world record
@@Trackstaa_ Anytime someone says world record, the world record, then what would you think?
So he was 16 and 7 months? What an amazing runner. I will keep an eye on him.
correct
Caucasians are making comebacks everywhere
Is it possibly an age group record for Aussie kids? Nice run by all in the front. Who's the short guy in the white cap who got 2nd? Being short myself I always like seeing the short guys keeping pace with the longer-legged/big striding guys.
Jarryd Clifford Paralympic champion
@@Trackstaa_ why a paralympic ? due to his height?
How old?
@@dimkit9714 apparently his eye sight, “vision impaired” I don’t see why that is a category tho, if he can see the lanes and everything he is just a regular runner?
@@zaydxn2735 He’s legally blind can only see a meter or so in front of him and pretty blurry, have a go at running in pitch black darkness and you’ll see why it’s a category
Box Hill!
Great run...Plz, carefully with your knees. I know, 13 marathons and too many shorter runs.
He is so fast! They are all super fast in that race!
Hopefully he won't discover alcohol and going out anytime soon
Thats not a true 340 tho bc he got help from the pacers. Ghey
there's always pacers in none championship races
@@Trackstaa_ well.. there shouldnt be pacers bc its an assisted time. Theres no purity in the sport anymore. Just run it straight
@@bigtroll8249 there’s always been pacers
@@Trackstaa_ yea, ok. Im sure the ancient Greek olympians were using pacers in their track events. Get real!!
@@bigtroll8249 Ancient Greek Olympics aren’t the modern day Olympics. Also most sports were invented in the last 150 years. So are we supposed to keep everything as it was. If that’s the case should we still be running barefoot on a dirt track?
clickbait. world record is 16 seconds quicker.
16 year old world record
He would have beat every Olympic female racers wow.
Take a look at Ermias Girma born in 2005 and in may of 2022 he ran 3.36 at 1500 and 1.44 at 800.
I looked him up - 1:44 is elite regardless of age. I have my doubts that dude is actually 17.
@@MrBeast-1 i saw him running his records ( he ran it in belgium). His stride is amazing and to be faire his body looks like an 17 year old. Watch him run the u20 wc this summer on youtube( he won the 800 and was second on the 1500.)
@@jenthorooms636 again kids elite regardless, but sadly east African's ages are kind of an unknown. Sometimes the runners don't even know. Be interested to see how he develops in the senior ranks.
Hey he’s a great runner. However if he is 17 or not is unknown. He could for sure be. But a lot of corruption goes on in East African specifically with changing ages
@@Trackstaa_ Indeed.. At 4 februari he will run an 1500m indoor here in belgium! defenitly going to watch it :)
You couldn't get just like 10 seconds more on the video?
Well done Cam, you smashed it mate , I remember coming here at this beautiful field/
park for inter-school sports back in the 80's i used to love discus,javelin,high jump,triple jump but that was it, As i hated running for too long as i had a little weight to carry similar to the kid out of The Goonies LOL - Jokes but yes watching you take that win was also watching strategy in play and executed well, and for those saying celebrating early cost time i think imo he gave it his all and was yearning in his well deserved victory and I am sure we will be seeing this kid on a bigger screen someday in the near future going for the 🥇Gold 🏃♂🏃- Stick with it cam my friend 😁
What kind of unknown substances he is using?
I would assume and hope nothing
Fantastic but he didnt run through the line and cost himself a few tenths of a second.
Reminded of Winx with that smooth short stride
The voice is it Hitler? What is wrong with it
The futures looking good guys.
He started letting up or he would have done it
World record is 3:26. He wasn't even close. Click Bait. Reported
16 year old world record. As the title and thumbnail says
Anyone with half a brain knows he was talking about the age record.
you’re kinda slow
Age group world record! Misleading title...
I can’t fit it all in. I said the time he ran. And it technically still is a world record
@@Trackstaa_ pathetic excuse... booooooo!
Best 3.40 I've seen in 3.42
Go you good thing - this year I hope for you - But what a race and time ⏲
Looks a bit like Sébastien Coe.running ...which can't be a bad thing
that's true
He would of had it if he didn’t show off at the end….😒
He look like Secretariat on two legs.
Secretariat wasn't real. This kid is real
@@anneshaw9681 Don't matter, he won't last long.
@@joe-hp4nkcheers mate
Wow. I didn't know Ozzie Man also called track meets.
yeah it's a new vertical for him
What's the pace in km per minute for the majority of the world?
it is 2:26 per 1K
wow next jakob?
He slowed up and showboated or else he would have had the record. Why?????
I don't think he would've got it still. But he didn't know about the record before hand
To think a 5 year old ran 5:46 and then by age 11 ran 4:21. Yowza!
yep
Who did that 😳
@@djquiksilva Daniel Skandera.
WoW that’s real 😳
Premature celebration costs him the record?
don't think so. would've been a bit closer though
there are no 16 year-old track "world" records at any distance
World best
How fair is that when someone else starts the pace that ain't in the race?
There’s always pace makers at no championship meets
Weird, during the whole race commentary there is no reference to the age of Myers. Apart from maybe being called a kid 50m from the line.
Hi. Because the race is an Open Grade race, anyone can run in it. Meaning U18, U20. Also, many top females run in Club events in Men's Open Grade races, to get the competition. Generally though, runners are advised to race in their specific age categories until they reach Open Status. Don't pay too much attention to those crazy American NCAA (College/University) races where they only ever seem to think that US College runners form the bulk of those competing. Especially don't pay attention to Indoor Events where 95% of the runners compete in the USA. Hence all the "world best" times etc. Ha. They don't event seem to realise that Open Grade is the next level up from their NCAA grades. Of course they have amazing sprinters at College ages (18-23). Sadly, 98% of US College athletes never survive after they leave the protected, cotton wool situation of US College and have to pay for everything themselves.
Middle distance runners get burnt out by the College system and immediately retire once they graduate, never having reached their peaks as middle to long distance runners.
I've looked at there system closely. Pros and Cons and OK for Sprinters both generally death for Longer distance.
@@johnwilson5743 Thanks, for that.
Where do u see 3:39.96 Ingebrigtsen as WR for this age? It appears quite a few Africans have faster times at that age and younger. Can’t find an official age WR for 1500 online other than U18 on IAAF which is 3:33.72 by Nicholas Kemboi.
Hi so it’s on age-records.125mb.com
- also we made a mistake. Jakobs was 3:39.92
@@Trackstaa_ that’s a compilation of times sent in by ppl, nothing official and mainly US kids. It’s leaving off all of Africa.
@@Albinodragon80 it’s the closest we have to a World record list for each specific age group. A lot of African age group times don’t get a look at because it’s always hard to know how reliable that age is
I can't take American track & field seriously, especially when you can see dozens upon dozens of random people just milling about inside the field? If you're NOT competing then stay in the stands with the other spectators.
American? This is in Australia and having people on the in field creates atmosphere.
Are you on drugs, America would not have a meet like this unless it was a high school event, this is Australia mate…
it's AUS but I agree it takes some professionalism away
@@Trackstaa_ it adds atmosphere a to a sport where there is none, and is a better spectacle for fans, how ist that a bad thing?
Didn’t Hobbs Kessler run 3:34 as a high school senior (so 16 or 17yo)?
Normal American high school senior is 17/18.
He was 18.
How old is rd place finisher?
23
celebrated too early..cost him those tenths of a second needed
I don't think he would've got it still. 0.6 is deceiving a lot
@@Trackstaa_ Probably right, but i bet his coach chewed him out...
Celebrating to soon. LOL
he didn't know about the record
@@Trackstaa_ I guess he knows now😀
Kid in 3rd looks 15
He’s 23
he slowed at end n lost WR great runner but bonehead to not run thru everytime, fundamentals!
yeah he didn't know about the record so I guess he was just thrilled with his performance. But you're right you can always celebrate after the line
The world youth record is still 3:36
We said nothing about the youth WR
@@Trackstaa_ stupid record. No real bearing or context. Wr youth record is only record that matters. And that barely matters, make a video when bud break the junior record
New Jakob !?!? Let's see, not everyone has Jakob's family and safety net
Poor dude in 3rd never had a chance just not long enough, he needs to push it in the front end.
He is the Paralympic champion to be fair to him
@@Trackstaa_ remarkable regardless but whats his disability?
