Nico Young's BLISTERING KICK Wins 5k Races Against Brother Lex Young 

Nico's form looks shot. His smooth stride is gone and he bounces now. It's as if he was too self-aware about his "form issues" and tried to overcorrect.

this aged poorly@@sawgames8623

They are brothers by the end of the day

I was thinking the exact same thing!😂😂

I didn’t get it. If you’re going to finish in the middle of the pack or further back you don’t need an assigned pacer. You already have the entire pack plus the leaders to choose from who to fall in behind and get in sync with.

@@kevinkasp Brotherly love

There brothers no matter if you a collegiate standout doing your brother a favor isn’t a crazy idea and Nico was pretty far back in the pack to start so that made it seem like maybe he wasn’t running to win but turns out it was just good tactics

I mean, maybe it could happen, I just don't know why he thought that. Seemed like nothing but a huge assumption.

Which is the Younger brother?

Agreed.

Or they’re just the spikes and stuff happens in track and field 🤷🏾‍♂️ idk just an assumption

@@n88te what you said doesn’t make sense lol

I have those spikes, you don’t really have to worry about tying them because the upper hugs yours foot really well. Kinda like slip ons, hence why they come out easily.

Lex looked really good considering he was coming off of a injury.

yea it is a click bait title

The three of them, I'd say.

I actually go to wingate and it’s cool to see them getting coverage

it's called clickbait, duh

90% of there team is Moroccans

@@chaseanspach2799 that’s not true. That’s not even remotely close to being true. Silly goose

I race against them all the time. I’m pretty sure most if not all their runners are international

Agree with u

Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific University

@@itachi-sx2ct thank you

Could have just been humble but now you drew attention to yourself and look like an entitled prick. Educate us on how to pronounce it then, Mr. Winders, since you're so noteworthy.

Good job dude

@@ccbgaming6994 thank you!

bro you used to run at our high school meet at marshall county… glad to see how far you’ve come!

@@thesamuellanham appreciate that!

Very new!

They are just popular last names in east Africa, like Johnson or Smith in the United States or Lopez or Hernandez in Spanish speaking countries.

It was a kick but not blistering. Even a 54 is not sufficient when looking at a 52 from the likes of grant Kincaid and that gang. The way to win is to push the pace and take the kick out of it early. Even then you might still find a couple of runners willing to hang tight and kick

Nico doesn't have a kick. Never has, never will. He's an incredible runner, but he has no kick. You're totally correct. And p.s. the title did click bait me, because I was like holy S, has he developed a kick somehow? Nope.

@@Thomas-fk3cw Nico did make a move and out kicked the field for the win. Blistering? No It wasn’t Nico fastest kick at a 58 but it was a nice move for the win. The overall time wasn’t event close to a pb. He run 13:11 5k Nico will need to develop a faster close and he can do that much like grant fisher or Kincaid had to do. Some of these pros are closing sub 54 and closer to 52 that win these big races. That is the type of kick Nico will need because fitness alone isn’t going to win it all. Too many can run the times but can they out kick when it counts…. Nico has the talent and drive to get there but will he do it before his twin brothers?

@Brent Burnett Yeah, Nico has always had extraordinary fitness and that has been the differentiator. But like you said, at some point you can't just run away from your competition because they are just as fit. But yes, he has run faster and probably still has upside. I just don't ever see him developing wheels and having some blistering closing kick. Anyway, definitely a huge talent.

@@Thomas-fk3cw in theory, you can attempt to out run the competition from the gun. The problem with this strategy is when the pack hunts you down. The flip side is the pack sometimes doesn’t hunt down the breakaway runners. Fitness often becomes key to success because most events can have back to back to back qualifiers. Top runners with speed at the end can get trapped in the pack or spiked. What’s nice about Nico is we know he is fit and can push the best. He really out the pressure on Mantz. Mantz is a talent hit simply skipped final year for marathons. Might see him tune up with a 3000 meter race but we could debate Mantz and Nico as lacking that closing speed needed in track. Imagine when we talk about real speed it’s on the international pro level. As good as Jakob is … he has been out kicked. No Doubt that having a kick matters but there are ways to overcome that problem. Just run faster from beginning to start. If one must suffer why not suffer at the from vs the back of the pack.
