Rain Doesn't Slow Down Men's Race At Nuttycombe - Full Replay 

why is he notable? i don't ever watch these races it was just recomended to be because i've been watching 5k training vids lol

@@partickstar1135he’s a true freshman who wasn’t even the top dog last spring and known more for his middle distance ability

he's for real.

​@@partickstar1135same lol I'm a football fan

@@tallinghe had the fastest xc time last year at 14:20. Somebody may have run faster late in the season but that time was #1 for most of the season

Probably the most underrated freshman out there

That was like mazed out diesel coming into the finish.

He'll have his day eventually!

He has a tattoo of number 2 on his back. I respect that. Everybody wants to be number one. Perhaps Nico is setting a new trend. Number 2 is the new number 1. Seriously though he beat a lot of studs. Samuel from New Mexico is going to be tough. He was 17th at the world xc championships in the senior division and he has already run 27:20 for 10000 at 19. Not a bad guy to beat among many others.

In last year’s NCAA Collegiate Championships, their fifth guy came in 39th. Coincidentally the year before that their fifth guy also came in 39th. They’ve been national champions six of the last seven years (in 2019 they sucked - by NAU standards - and came in second.)

@jupeter24 rip

He just won nationals

@@ccbgaming6994 yeah i thought he would. he's tough and the course favor toughness.

you slow as shit boy

Crazy that NAU’s 5th man was 33rd overall. Even crazier in the Women’s race their 5th runner came in 18th. Crazier still, NAU women have enough left over for a second team to run the B race and they won that too with their first three coming in first, second, and third.

no one cares about your son

Running on the grass in the rain would slow him down a bit compared to the Chicago course, but surely he would be up at the front and continue on for 5x longer at that pace, which is still hard to wrap your mind around.

Don’t forget Alex Phillip, the D3 national champ

Why isn't Davin Thompson running? Injury?

Well, isn’t the smartest thing to let your coach handle that? When I ran XC and track, many of the top guys on my team routinely ignored what the coach asked for in any ways they could. Eating fast food before a big meet, not training on the weekend when the coach asked them to, etc. I'm talking about one guy who won a state championship here, too. When you have success, sometimes it can also make you a bit arrogant. Why listen to the coach when you're already good? But Graham Blanks just won Nuttycombe and still wants to let the coach call the shots. I say he's smart.

Lol why would he be lying

@@machineofadream A college educated person should learn to think for himself. A Harvard educated person should learn to lead for others. I said nothing about the coach nor high school. The coach and athlete relationship should be 2 way relationship. Especially so at the professional level. Most NCAA coaches run half their athletes into the DL. Grant Fisher leaves Bowerman because Schmucher overtrains.

@@baula338 to give him credit besides his possibly, performative humility
