From running 1:48.84 in the 800, to breaking the national record in the 3200 (8:33), to obliterating the national high school record for the cross country 5k, Colin Sahlman is running in rarified air.

His former teammate Nico Young might've been on that list if Covid-19 hadn't destroyed the 2020 outdoor season. Nico was jammin as a senior, having broken the NXN course record, and then the 3,000 indoor national record. Fast. Edit: Colin's 1500 split from that indoor mile was 3.44, which is fastest in the nation this year. He could prolly go sub 3.40 outdoors.

Dathan graduated from Rockford High School. I went there and got a track scholarship due to our school being one of the most known D1 high schools in MI. Good to see him getting mentioned and seeing his extremely old R uniforms. He’s still well-known in the area. The one year I ran CC (2013ish), I got to meet him on my birthday. Great man and doesn’t act like he’s “well-known”. Incredible athletes you cover. Keep it up!

As a runner from Michigan as well Dathan’s accomplishments are beyond legendary. In another video it’s mentioned that no one’s gotten closer than 37 seconds I think to the national record he set on the same MIS speedway course. And of course he ran away in winning the Foot Locker “national championships” from the likes of Alan Webb and Ryan Hall.

@jefffawcett 2 года назад

Ryun (let’s spell his name correctly!) was not just the best high school runner ever, he’s the best high school ANYTHING ever. He ran multiple sub four minute miles while in high school including in a state meet, on a cinder track, obviously running by himself. He ran under four minutes as a junior in high school. He made the freaking Olympic team when he was 17!! He was a household name in the United States as a teenage runner, which is simply unheard of.

@rodjohnson2632 2 года назад

@@jefffawcett I couldn't agree more. Also, as a high schooler in 1965, Ryun ran 3:55.3, within 1.7 seconds of the world record. No other high school miler has come anywhere near the world record. By comparison, Alan Webb ran 3:53.43. Faster than Ryun, but 10.3 seconds slower than the world record of 3:43.13 at the time. A great effort, but not even close to Ryun's achievement.

@richardmilliken8705 2 года назад

@@rodjohnson2632 El G's World Record for the Mile was done with the help of EPO, HGH, and Testosterone and that's why 25 years later it still has not been broken. There's no doubt that Hobbs Kessler's National High School Record of 3:34 for the 1,500 meters, which is almost 5 seconds faster than Jim Ryun's High School best of 3:39 is a superior time, even when you figure the running shoes, faster tracks,nutrition and training. Kessler smashed Webb's 1500 meter H.S. time of 3:38 by 4 seconds. Hobbs also hold the H.S Record for the Indoor Mile with a 3:57. Hobb's 1500 meter time last year in HS was faster than the NCAA Outdoor 1500 meter record. Hobbs was also ran a 8:39/ 2 mile time as well as an 1:47 / 800 meter relay leg in H.S.

The Newberry Phenomenon is these great runners all come from two families which obviously have some pretty fantastic genetics. The moms and dads must have been great athletes. It is no difference the Mondo Duplantis, the world record holder in the pole vault. His dad was a world class pole vaulter and his mom was a world class Heptathlete.

Awesome times and certainly is dominate in his age group. But will he transfer that into open athletics and the big stage. Of the top ten listed high school distance runners, how many went on to the ultimate of an Olympic Gold Medal?

@julianmichaelaguirre6161 2 года назад

Arguably he should be in the Top 10. But factoring in that he has teammates pushing him all the time which most athletes never have and certainly the people in the top 10 list. Then factor in the new super shoes that have been supplying the world with so many faster times they should be outlawed. And of course the advances in technology with track surfaces and such and maybe he cracks the top 12 realistically compared to that group. Btw I was an editor for the first NXN for Nike and was a historian for years.

Ryun was from my era. I was not even close to any of them. Considering the advances in equipment, training, nutrition, surfaces, etc. Ryun might still be at the top. Always interesting to compare different eras or generations. Debate will continue I'm sure.

@lymanmj Год назад

TRP - nit pick #1: Eric Holt did not "miss going under 4 minutes by 1/1,000 th of a second". He missed *going* *under* by *2* thousandths. Nit pick #2: because USATF and World Athletics still do not recognize XC certified courses, and because a variety of methods are used to measure XC 5Ks, there is little consistency in "5K" XC courses. This throws some shade on XC records at any particular distance. There is at least one XC 5K that has been measured with a steel tape, which would definitely be accurate IF proper measuring protocols were strictly adhered to. Then, "of course", elevation profiles vary hugely between courses. It is interesting but not necessarily valid that any 5K XC performance can be compared to another on a different course. Thanks for the great video.

@jeffreycarman2185 2 года назад

Inasmuch as I admire the legendary Steve Prefontaine, there is no question that Sahlman’s resume dwarfs that of Prefontaine. Sahlman’s pace in the 3200 beats Prefontaine’s pace for his 2 mile record. Prefontaine did run a 13:52 in the 5k on the track, which is astounding, but Sahlman’s 14:03 5k national record in XC is clearly a better mark. (That said, Prefontaine, as a high schooler Prefontaine had essentially no competition, no elite coaching, no elite training staff, and ran on cinder tracks in rural Oregon in the 1960’s… but we’re not talking about how great Prefontaine could have been if he were in high school today, we’re talking about his actual achievements as much as they could be compared). I can’t wait to see what Sahlman and his Newbury Park teammates do this outdoor season.

@noneofyourbusiness6100 2 года назад

Why are you comparing a kid who ran in the 60s to a kid who is running today. Why don't you compare Sahlman to international teenagers? Is it because he won't measure up?
