He ran that fast without a block start. Beautiful form.

The fact that 2nd place still broke 1:00 is INSANE! These kids got talent

[BoyDanny]

Sheesh, the most impressive part is the kid kept up the same pace, that is not easy for a 10 years old to do. Hopefully he stays consistent as he get older.

I can't believe I just saw 10 year old run a 55sec 400. Those of us who ran the 400 in jr. leagues will truly appreciate how incredible this is.

I don't think people realize how fast that is for a child. He's not even in middle school yet. He's a 5tj grader at most unless he jumped grades. That's crazy. Itll be interesting to see what he does in the future. At this paste he'll be in the 40s in middle school for sure . He hasnt even hit his teen body yet smh. Crazy. Congratulations 💯💯💯💯🏋🏾‍♂️💪🏾🚀🚀

That young man is head and shoulders above. The 400m is very tough and the ndurance he showed for his is very special. Hopefully he continues and becomes a 400m world champion. Good luck kid!

This is the embodiment of hard work. If you want it, get it while your young. Kudos for him

We had a guy in 4th grade, he was 10 at the time but he ran extremely fast. No one could keep up with him. His speed was very impressive, but what was more impressive was that he could keep the maintain the same form for the whole race. Im in 8th grade now and I was in a race with him. We were tied at first but after 100 metres or so, i started to go slower and slower cuz i was tired, but he ran at the same speed and only slowed down when he was a few metres away from the finishing line. I finished at 2nd place yet the difference between first and second place was like almost 50 metres and that was only because he slowed down at the end or else it wouldve been even more.

Well done young man, you have a very promising future ahead of you.
