Classic dickhead rojo. Spencer Brown, who runs a YouTube channel called "The Athlete Special" is a redshirt junior at Georgetown. He recently ran 3:39 at Bryan Clay, a significant PR (previous PR was 3:41). People are talking about him because he has a lot of fans on YouTube and it's nice to see him run fast.
As far as going pro he couldn't get a big contract right now but he's definitely got a shot, especially if he cuts some more time next year or has a very high finish at NCAAs (definitely a possibility with his strong finish).
I think it might help contract wise that he’s a growing YouTuber. He’s tripled his subscribers the last 6 months and is growing faster and faster. Self promotion’s gotta help a good bit when it comes to a shoe company wanting exposure.
Hassan Mead is a 10k guy running an early season 1500, as your a 1500 meter guy in peak shape. Let's face it you were almost last. Now go back to your dorm, and 12k subscribers is not inpressive, as most sites have way more than that.
