EPIC FINISH: Villanova Win Penn Relays 4xMile Championship Over Oregon 

Wait wtf bc I’m laughing too fr😂😂

ouch

Occult hahah

Still gets paid better than 99% of Nike sponsored athletes...

ุ Yeah he made such a bitch move

what are you talking about? one of the best runners in US or the world right now, you nimrod.

narutoqweavatar yes sir

How true

Definetely

Imagine if he was the final leg lmao, type of race he woulda won for having the most guts

Not really. If he had been in the mile relay to begin with he would hsve been anchor and would never had let it be paced like that.

Eli Marshbank not only would they have won, they likely would have broken 16 minutes in the 4xmile

Easily broken it!

All Chez ever does is turn a race into a fucking jog. Embarrassing

Screamin A Smith except for when he ran a 3:49 mile and his xc titles.

agreed. joke of a race. finish was fun, but the rest of that last leg was disrespectful to their other legs.

Well, the Villanova runner did the same thing

Diego Carlson yeah but ches was on a different level than everyone there. It wouldnt have been a contest if he had just ran a mile instead of a warmup then a 200.

yeah well, he couldn't predict the future. hes sticking with what his coach/team wants him to do. this is what running has come down to sadly

Tactical running is such a pussy way to run. Ches insulted track and field here and since then ive had no respect for him

+Screamin There's a time for every kind of race. Headplay like in this one is interesting. Those who thought they had the best kick could hang back of the leader(s) and wait. Those who knew they didn't could or should have made a break earlier when it was brought to a jog. 50 yrs ago, Gerry Lindgren would have sprinted mid-race and just kept on going. Ches just miscalculated. He should taken it in with 400 or 600 to go.

happily he couldnt hold it

Best time I've ever done was a sub 6 minute mile. They did a comfortable like 4 something 🤣

The_wavy1 this is very old lol

@@britainreynolds7365 lmao

That's why the world record in the men's 1500m & mile have been there for 19yrs now. I believe this is the longest gap in 120 yrs. Nobody races anymore. 1975 ( Filbert Bayi - 1999 Hicham El Guerrouj)The best years in middle distant running. Just my Opinion. Oh yea....After Sir Roger Bannister broke the mile WR and within 2 yrs about 2 dozen people broke 4:00 miles... After the science and medical establishment of the day said you had to be 7' 4" tall with a stride so long to break it. Great period also. I'm waiting patiently for the next great milers and middle distant runners.

LMAO

Underrated comment

he shouldn't have made the surge at all. The smartest runner was the villanova guy who gt the handoff right behind ches and didn't pass him till 100 meters left.

Quacking Duck I doubt u could run there pace ...

Kingdom Rush Walkthroughs Well not many high schoolers can. You can't compare NCAA to high schoolers but he can always get there within a few years. I trained a friend who runs a 4:25 mile at best within 1 year so it is possible. Aside from that, this race really is a joke especially at that level. Its like an insult to running.

@@miguelf2765 I have people on my college team who run 4 flat and the fastest guy runs a 3:57 on the track and a 4:15 on dirt

@@ViiRaLChaoticGamerTM23 That definitely requires a lot of dedication and great coaching. I truly admire that. Are you also on the team?

@@miguelf2765 yes I am I run a 4:58 mile I mean I never ran distance I always did sprints in high school but I do believe i have the mind set to get stronger

Youhana Lado Hahahahaha

Almost as good as the Howard Dean yell

he literally nutted

OOHHHHH

turbo 🤣🤣

Mr Chikn Watch the Rio 1500m. It was so, so slow.

This was actually at Penn State but Ches is on the Oregon, which I think makes it worse. Ches doesn't deserve to wear that racing top.

Tbh Pre is overrated.

I agree, given ches was the better runner but everyone in that pack is to blame for it slowing down, mostly Villanova as well. Not sure why everyone hates on ches so much for this.

@@doubleagaming554 Because it's embarrassing and not what distance running should be like. It's great that Ches thought his best chance of winning was to slow down an intense race down to a walk and sprint the last lap, but I'd much rather watch an honest, lug-bursting 3:56 last leg to run under 16:00.

So if someone slows down in a race your telling me that makes you incapable of passing them. They are all to blame

best race I have ever saw in my life

It's like punting in football or playing a lot of possession in soccer. The goal is to win, not run the fastest time ever. There is nothing sad about a tactical race. It is a good strategy in many situations and makes the sport unpredictable. If there were no tactics, you could read down the list of PRs and tell us who the winner is without even running the event most of the time. And what isn't exciting about a sub 53 last lap?

Connor Harriman no a 53 lap is amazing. But it wasn't even at the end of a mile. It was jist a 53 lap. This race should have been a 4 by mile. Not whatever this was. And no, upsets happen without people being cowards. Its not like the guy with the fastest pr always wins.

agreed. this race is a 4xmile. not a 4x400.

Tactical races are just boring. No one wants to watch jogging for 90% of the race just for a dead sprint

This iw why there are pacers in distance races to prevent this

Your math is off There's no way anyone is running a 22 200 even after running at 4:20 pace.

​@@fromrussiawithlove8480 you can time it yourself, Villanova guy closed in 22 high chez closed in 23 mid

They all walked

Fastest 200 in the race was a 23 slowest was a 39😭

Lmao

LOOOOL

But haven’t you heard? 4:20 isn’t fast for the mile it’s just not fast

UPenn has their track in a really old, historic building. Given the dimensions of the building they can't fit a full sized track. So instead of tearing down a historic building, they made the track smaller by making lane 5 400m around instead of lane 1. I think it's actually pretty cool and very distinctive. You should watch a 4x400. The teams that start in lanes 1 to 4 have to cut out to lane 5 instead of everyone cutting in.
