Men's 3000m Final - 2024 NCAA indoor track and field championships 

?

He did a long kick, which is what someone without the pure sprint speed needs to do. It rips the hope out of a real sprinter. If he doesn't break them early, he's still vulnerable.

​@torunit4620 exactly right it's exactly what Ingebrigtsen does. Its slowly getting faster instead of sprinting the last 200m

​@@KW-wr3xv I'm an old man now and was never on that level, but in my day I was the sprinter. If I could hang with you, I had the 56 last lap, I had the 12 second last 100 that a distance runner just can't handle. A shark can smell the blood in the water.

Has he broke 13 yet?

@thundergun933 yeah he has 12:57

Dang, u spoiled the race for me :(

Can you put a spoiler edit, RU-vid mobile displayed this automatically

Nate is Buzz Killington

It sounds like the other guys didn't work hard xd

Bro... what. hes insane

He’s really fit rn too he just didn’t have Nico’s tactics

Mile was a tactical race. Comparing it doesn't make sense.

@@iba7648 I know. Still notable though.

Well, he wasn't that far back tbh

Doesn’t even have a medal to throw away this time

why not ..2-miles more clout-only 4more laps????...lol

@@scottbarker9058 uh, 2 miles is just over one more lap. Do some math. And they haven't done miles in an NCAA Championship since 1975.

@@scottbarker9058doesn’t make sense to use the imperial system when the rest of the world uses the metric system. The mile is the only exception because of its history.

Nico has always had great times just not the placement to show for it he’s been on of the best ever since highscool stupid comment

He said something about improved mechanics and rate of force production in his post race interview although didn’t expand upon what specifically he’s done to improve upon these

He trains at 7000 feet above sea level

1. Pretty much every guy in the field who was still awake with three laps to go started all out sprinting; Wolfe, Maier, Murphy, Robinson, all of them started to really pick it up. 2. As for the time drop, a lot of other guys in the NCAA saw drastic improvements this year. Nico improved 14 seconds from a PR he set nearly 2 years ago for the collegiate 5k record, which is by no means unreasonable especially for someone his age. In 1 year, Graham Blanks broke his 5k PR by 15 seconds, more than Nico did in two years. In addition to this, Nico has only ever truly ran the 3k at NCAA’s and Big Sky’s before, both of which would probably be tactical and after a 5k anyway. Think the things you say through fully before you come out making assumptions.

How ridiculous.. he just got smart and learned to trust himself.. you should be ashamed
