I imagine there were a few other PRs as well.

@@mikemagyar3222, right. Mantz's best was 28:18.18 before this. He's a junior so we can expect him to do better next year. That was a heck of a race. I can hardly imagine running like that for almost 1/2 hour.

A+ comment

I thought he had a huge lead from one of the breaks😂

That’s my teammate 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, he’s so much fun to watch. He has a Steve Prefontain style of running which turns very race into a real competition.

Foolish and that guy from Alabama is worse.

This is where good coaching comes in. Rest is important. He’s probably going to prepare differently in the future. He can take credit for setting up the record pace though!

Tactical blunder on the home stretch. Mantz is a strong closer and he got out kicked anyway.

Perhaps he prefers a clean finish

@@badmusicchannel5519 Honorable if that's the case

Yeah wtf he let him right through ont he inside, this covid 6 feet thing must apply on the track too I guess

@@badmusicchannel5519 na you never give up inside rail. it's still clean not your fault someone allowed themselves to be boxed in. Hold your position and charge make em work for it

Agree. These guys work their asses off but it's 6.25 miles.

It’s closer to 6 but yes

6.2 miles

I’m glad all of you looked up the exact number, you guys are google’s friends.

@@datcoolguy44 it’s common sense if you run track

he should’ve raced smarter

How did he do all the work?? Kiptoo and Masai literally led for the first 23 laps, and Mantz only pushed the last 2

@@cooperneeble2712 haha that’s what I was thinking. Mantz put in some work but that was his move to win the race and it didn’t work

lol he didn’t do that much work

@@skylersandoval2974 Maybe put more distance initially from the pack? Fast pace though, so that's hard...

😂

funny when no one takes it then just see him put his arm down like bruh u left me hangin

this was hilarious

A high jumper and a decathlete. Both are Olympic medalists but they don't know what to do with a distance event.

I thought they did a great job on the commentary

Dragonflies

So true! Rambling on about a coach while the best 10k in NCAA history unfolds. Interviewing a jumper in the key final minutes. Missing that Dever ran a perfect race, positioning himself in a stacked field and staying relaxed. They only noticed him with a few seconds to go.

@@badmusicchannel5519 that coach that were “rambling” about deserved to be talked about. He’s the best college coach of all time, any sport. He put Arkansas on the map in running, and in the process pushed every other college to be better.

Heck of a runner though

I love them cougar moms.

Dever is a month older. Both are 24

@@Prestosmith thank you 👏

It's all about NCAA eligibility, not actual academic year. Katie Izzo at Arkansas is marked as a junior too but is a grad student there, it's not that uncommon.

@@Prestosmith why are these guys so damn old lmao

@@yellowplatypus2342 I believe Conner already did his two year mission as a Mormon.

They do 1 hour runs on the track

this comment is the worst ten seconds of my life.

they do seven day runs on the track too

nope

They’re solid. I personally like em

Yeah I like em too

Because coaches get paid if their teams win. So they go and find the best athletes. You really don’t understand that?

talent pool of local HS athletes are not that good in distance running. sprinting no doubt US no 1

In most Countries Universities are places of academic study. They DO NOT offer scholorships for students to play sport. The entire USA system is based on NCAA sports. So if foreign athletes want a "free" education, and they are very good runners, one way to get that is to accept a free ride scholorship at an American University. The US system is based around Colleges competing against each other and collectively. So the Colleges lure athletes from outside USA so they can get better points/results. It works well for sprinters BUT, sadly, destroys many middle and longer distance runners. Mainly by forcing them to over-race. Multiple event for sprinters are ok. But making middle/long distance runners compete in two of three events per meeting destroys most of them over 4 years. Also, making them compete both Indoors and Outdoors adds to the stress and over-racing. From the evidence we see, approx 90-95% of middle distance runners "retire" as soon as they finish College at around age 24 when they wouldn't hit their peak until late 20's/30. They get burnt out.

I don't understand why foreign athletes develop US colleges.

you can say that again!

@@richardthegingerbo909he tried running their pace for a lap and it's left him with severe brain damage - so tragic.

@@moaningpheromones it appears so!
