Does Nico go pro now, or does he run one last outdoor track season for NAU? Obviously the Olympics are the top priority, but if he stays and wins an outdoor title, he’ll probably win the Bowerman. I don’t know if he cares about that, just sayin’ he’d be the likely winner.

My opinion is there’s no reason to do the NCAA season. Go pro now and get a nice contract and train for the Olympics. All that can come from the NCAA season is you blow your load early and run out of gas by the Olympics. It’s too hard to maintain a peak from January to August.

re: Ohmylord

How you break this down to the high schooler: Nico ran a 4 mile tempo run, then finished his evening with an 8:26.83 3200m without stopping.

How many have ever broken 27 on their first attempt???
I can only think of Solinsky.

Almgreen also just broke 27 in his first attempt. But maybe you guys are thinking Americans :)

26:49.99 by Kejelcha also comes to mind.

Could he run a very limited NCAA season though? Meaning only race regionals and nationals in June, and just the 5000? If so, there's probably not much practical difference between his training and racing schedule if he does that vs. going pro and running a tune-up pro race in early June prior to USAs.

Um, sir: THIS IS A LONG JOHN SILVERS!

uh yeah so Nico Young - BALLING out with the pros. All-time NCAA performance, spring shoes or not. What a year and what a rebound to the top of his class. The once and future king!

re: Ohmylord

So fast forward to the Trials, does Nico run the 10k, 5k or both?

re: Let it Rupp

He should run both. But he has a better shot in the 10k - the 5k is more competitive, I think folks like Nur and Kincaid and Teare are better at the 5k.

What Adidas shoes does he wear? I hated the Avanti when I wore them. Trainers are fine but I didn't like any of their racer shoes

Don’t worry he’ll get tested soon and prolly popped at some point

Comments like this are why competitive runners think Let's Run is a hell site filled with bigotry, misogyny, racism, and defamatory acquisitions that go unchecked.

Outkicked Mo Ahmed and Woody Kincaid in a tactical sub-27 race. This must make him a favorite for the Olympic team, given that he just beat every contender in the US besides Fisher, who got him by .7s.
Also big shoutout to Habtom Samuel also going under the old collegiate record in 26:53. The NCAA is crazy deep right now. You can argue about the shoes as much as you want, but Nico just outkicked an Olympic Silver medalist in a sub-27 race 1 week after 8k of hard racing. He is a historically great NCAA athlete, and Samuel was 1s behind him.

Tactical and sub 27 seldom go together.

NCAA records at 5000 and 10000 and first collegiate under 13:00 and 27:00! That's a pretty good legacy, if he turned pro tomorrow.

Checked every box on what makes this a hell site. Of course, Let's Run won't bother to take this down. Just your run-of-the-mill homophobia and defamatory accusation with zero merit.
