My god. I ran a bit under 4 but barely broke 14 in the 5000. Even with the spikes it’s better than Rupp and he doesn’t have a sketchy coach casting doubt. Great time for a 18 (assuming) year old American high schooler but it lacks in the world stage when you have 17 year old Ethiopians running 12:55
Gosh, that's incredible. And that sounds sarcastic over the internet, but I really mean it; I mean, that's mind blowing for a high schooler.
Not to take away from that at all, but man, I can't help but be worried for next year. We saw all those fast kids last year (among them 3 separate guys who broke a 5k NR) go completely under the radar, if not regress. Danny seems really special; I hope he can break the curse at BYU.
What’s the fastest 5k from an American Fork alum? I know Clinger has run 13:17, crazy that Simmonds isn’t that far off
Nah man it’s Simmons
Let me clarify I’m responding to your reason for edit, which was changing Simmons to “Simmonds.” Pretty sure Clinger’s 13:17 is the answer to that question.
