Nico Young's Incredible State Championship 3200m [Full Race]

Newbury Park's Nico Young ripped off a series of 66-second laps to leave the elite field in the dust and won the 2019 CIF Outdoor State Championships 3200m in 8:47. Young's time is the fastest winning time since Riverbank's German Fernandez set the meet record of 8:34.23 in 2008 and the sixth fastest winning time dating to 1965.

Imagine going sub 10 and getting lapped at the state meet

[taimoorearshi]

You know they about to run fast when the whole video is shorter than my PR

This is the type of 3200m I like to watch, working hard the entire time. Not like the boring strategic pro runs that are literally a 300m race where they jog the 1st 2900m and who ever has the best kick wins.

This years 3200M final would have been lights out compared to last years... I wouldn’t have been surprised if NP had sent 3 runners to state finals for the 3200..

damn nico mastered the secret technique of running with his eyes closed

[frogbird]

imagine being able to lap someone at state

[mjnaz]

My heart would have exploded at his 400m time. Jebus these guys are fast!

[jaimesandoval]

Still remember German Hernandez's 8:34 martian time. Amazing.

[Randimal]

What a beast... lapping guys who are still running sub-5min miles lol.

[shahiruperera]

I still don't get how he runs so fast when he looks like he's in pain the whole time😭

[jwolfe]

shout out to eric reynolds, camarillo HS in 1982. it was the SS finals where i saw him run a 8:50 and destroy everyone. he was the nico young of his day, and obviously could give nico a run for his money, or the other way around.

[leemitchell]

nico young looks like he's dying with every step

[christansdad]

The kid that got lapped is probably running a sub 10 minute 2-mile pace (which is outstanding) but when someone runs sub 9 minutes and puts together 65-67 second laps it is inevitable that you will be lapped.

[bouquet_of_circles]

I'm not saying he doesn't work hard but it must be really nice being that talented. Plenty of people work just as hard and never even break 10.

[stephenbird]

WOW! The times are getting as fast as they were in the 1970's!

[spencergambrell]

Imagine running 8:58 and not getting a metal

[FiveCentGaming]

The last place guy in this race would probably lap the fastest person you know

[MarshallBros]

I run a 1600 in that time sometimes 😂 my best is a 7:16! In the one mile my two mile is probably 17-18 min

[freshappleseed]

Dang. They had commentary footage of this stuff the whole time?
-shoutout to xcinvitationals for being the goat last year lol




-shoutout to James Corrigan too.
