- German Frenandez breaks California State Meet Record with a 4:00.29 1600m. 2 1/2 hours later he went on to smash the national 3200 record.. probably the greatest double in HS distance running history.
I was there with a clock on him. This was his first race of the day. He cramped up pretty bad after the 1600 and they really worked on him to rub it all out. About two hours later we watched him break the 3200 national record. That video is here too. He signed with Oklahoma State down the road. For the Foot Locker XC race down at Balboa Park in San Diego I brought his cousin, Ivan Fernandez, to the race. He was in the Marine Corps going to school at the base in 29 Palms. I'm a retired Marine. I'm trying to picture what German would say when he saw his cousin with all of his hair cut off. It was a treat for our young Marine, who normally was restricted to base as a student, but I talked to his Staff Sergeant about it and he cut him loose for me. Super family, that's all I need to say!
at 1:55 he almost got hit in the head with a pole vault pole...it looked like he tried to dodge it a lil bit, that coulda meant .3 seconds
0:17 someone got that kim possible ringtone hahaha
Fr
His P.E. teacher must be so proud of him lol
Carlos Quintero lol
finishes the race, runs a victory lap, puts on his sweats, and then goes and cheers on 2nd place xD
They weren’t actually that far behind
HESKEY TIME sarcasm 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah he stopped and tied his shoelaces...ACTUALLY HE GOT HIS GIRLFRIEND TO LEAVE THE SPECTATORS STAND TO COME AND TREBLE KNOT HIS SHOELACES WHICH Y KNOW TOOK A GOOD 30 SECONDS OF OFF HIS TIME..MM..WHAAAAAAAAAT HE WOULD HAVE RUN 3:30 FOR THE MILE THAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A TRAVESTY.....WERE REALLY GONNA HAVE TO TEACH THIS FINE ATHLETE TO DO HIS OWN LACES WHICH I'M SURE WILL ENABLE HIM TO RUN SIG SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER 4 MINUTES FOR THE MILE..THIS I SWEAR 🎆🌠💥💝💝😎🇯🇲🇮🇴🇯🇲🇯🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🧙♂️👍🏾🙏🏿
He's broken four twice already as a college freshman. He actually set an indoor collegiate record for the mile in 3:56, then later went on to break his own record a couple weeks later in 3:55. And that's after coming back from an achille's heel injury. He also did not have any speed work. Gonna be crazy to see what he does for the outdoor season.
German would have broke 4:00 here. had to dodge a pole vaulters pole at 1:54 in the video
Will Yorton If it makes you feel any better this was a 1600m race, so it still wouldn't have been a sub 4 mile.
"Who's that on him? Mac Fleet?"
Guy runs an 8:34 3200m right after this...goodness...
*1:54** If the one dude didn't get his hand on that pole, this would never had happened. Great RUN!!!!!!*
Great High School Runner German Fernandez! 4:00 flat cruzzed no problem! Too bad no competition you would have seen a 3:56 1600m. Next two hours later a National High School 3200m. record at 8:34. Too bad his coach couldn't enter German in a world class level 2 mile run on the track I am sure the time would be a sub: 8:29. Greatest High School Double of all-time to stay for a long while.
Every time I watch this video, I get chills. FN shame, due to injuries, that he was done with running 8 years later.
Whose here in 2020? Still one of the best high schoolers of all time.
so basically german fernandez is the greatest distance runner in the history of california high schools. nuff said.
frostie1315 no nico young
That's crazy...Mac Fleet was behind him on that one...
1600m is about 9m less than a mile so it wouldn't have been a 4 minute mile, but nevertheless would have been, and is, an incredible feat.
Excellent point. Brilliant race as was his 3200m. BUT... those distances and times are meaningless as they are not recognised internationally. No other countries in the world race 1600 and 3200m except for USA. Plus, as you mentioned, 1600m is NOT a mile (1609m) 2 Miles= 3218m. So, while brilliant, they are meaningless.
John Wilson ok so add 2 and 4 seconds at most and there you go
god if i just had a 2:00 800 i would be happy...amazing
i like how the camera guy is all up in his face after he's crashed
notice at 1:56 that German ducked to avoid getting hit by a falling pole vault bar - nice reflexes.
i love hearing how every lap the crowd gets louder and louder
I bet he got a full-boat scholarship to where ever he wants in the country.
C.J. Curry He did.
the extra nine meters take roughly ~1.7 seconds. His mile time would have been roughly 4:01.9 mile. If you count conversions it still would be almost 2 seconds off
Nobody's as smooth as he is!
Absolutely outstanding! kinda makes you wonder, was he running full out or was he conserving for the 3200?
my xc coach used to coach for his high school when german was a freshman. he said he's not normal; he's like some alien or something. lol
🏆 The GOAT 🐐 single greatest day in High School T&F history
(1 mile & 2 mile performances)
@Trackmaster14 German wasn't saving for the 3200. He actually had already ran it before in National Record fashion (it was only a few hours before this race). So he was going all out.
+Pat Hebert lol when you counter a comment from 2 years ago. 😂
@@kurrupt_gamer9543 what about 4 yrs past?
@wookiegamemaster well this is a 1600 not a mile. A mile is 1609 meters. So this converts to a high 4:01 mile. Also only 4 high school runners have broken 4 in the mile, not 5.
No, trust me.. The time is right. You can see it at the end on the time if you put it in HQ.
Plus, the kid as a freshman, won the NCAA's. Trust me, this kid is legit. 3:36 or 8 was his time for 1500.
man. we need more mexicans like this that give us a good name.
Everyone freaking out; he was 100m short of the sub 4 mile but still an amazing accomplishment
1000 vids no subs challenge how?
wow these people are amazing! they have a really good running form and really good strides!
@andyforthemaster going under 4 for a 1600 isn't the same as a sub 4 min mile. There are plenty of high schoolers who have had mile splits that were sub 4 mins for their 1600 split.
Alan Webb ran under a 3:55 in the High School mile.
With Higher elite athletes not solo!
German is now currently with the Oregon Track Club training under Coach Jerry Schumacher (his group also has guys like Andrew Bumbalough, Matt Tegenkamp, and Chris Solsinky among others, all very good professional runners). He ran 3:34.60 for the 1500 just a couple days ago (which is equivalent to that of a 3:52 mile). He had some rough spots in college but he's finally starting to get back into the groove of things as a professional runner.
Is he still running?
anyone know when he is slated to run next? someone should post the recent indoor race with his blazing 3:55.02 clocking.
No he shouldn't.
He should get ready for college cross country instead, after winning NON and setting some high school records.
Probably one of the top 3 high school runners ever, but thats dumb considering the Olympics at this point. Don't even bother saying "it's for experience".
He would get toasted by the field (Alan Webb, Lagat, Lomong, Manzano, etc.)
they dislike this video cuz they cant run
Wonder wat the guy trying to keep up wit him is thinking
he smashed the 3200 record but at nationals he broke the 2 mile record they're different
it's actually 1609.344
oo one of the parents told me about someone who ran a four minute flat mile last track season..i know this is him..so amazing :]
what's the sitch?
Pretty sure that everyone running behind him PR'ed that day because they didn't want to get passed by him.
He was under pace for 3 laps but died a bit the last lap
Notice the pole vault rode around 1:55.
That was damn close 1:54
actually, i wonder if he would of broke 4 min if that pole hadn't almost hit him. when it comes toward him he ducks his head and makes a weird stride. could've cost a second right there! why do they put the PV pits so close to the track anyways.
@Chocosizzles Besides the fact that is says "1600m" in the title, yes, this is most likely the 1600m and not a full mile.
go german!
man dis guy is amazing! he's even doing much better in Oklahoma State than ever b4.
my best 1600 is a 4:49, my PR that i want is a 4:30. German aka G-Man! haha u rock.
n mile. That pole didn't slow him down 2 seconds. Also even if he did run a 3:58.29 that still wouldn't make him the fifth HS miler, since it was a 1600 race
Ya I agree that's probably the greatest double ever. That dude is inspiring. I hope he's not taking any drugs. He's made a pretty suspicious improvement since last year.
2 mile is actually 3218.64 meters.... that's why on an al weather track there is a different line they start from when running the 2 mile vs the 3200
Where is the link to the camera man that filmed him at the end of the race? That camera shot would have the real close up German after the race!!
Awesome 😍
i spoke with german personally and the guy is just a work horse. he said that he does about 500-1000 lunges everyday, at least 500 push ups...some of his workouts are crazy but for the most part he runs normal mileage fast, like 6-8mi at high 4s. at oklahoma he's hitting higher mileages but when he was still at riverbank he just did lots of extra stuff other people wouldn't do. i got to run with him and the guy just sleeps at anything slower than 5:30 pace -_-
Is he still running?
wow great run!
i agree with you on the first part i would be angry too, but i dont think he slowed down he went balls to the walls for the 1550 meters b4 that
he was real tired, but still a true runner
This guy didn't even run until freshman year. Soccer loose is running gain. Seems to get energy from the track. Geb had that same style . Same with seb Coe and Mary Decker. Just a hunch but I think he will be first American under 12:50 at 5 k
lol and the classic colapse at the end
@GetBackJack123 thats why alan webb is the best
and to think it was almost ended by a pole-vault pole...
can someone please explain to me about his double. it says 2 1/2 hours later he smashed the national 3200 record. i thought he did that in north carolina at nationals, and isn't this the California state meet? this kid's special, so i believe that he did it. i'm just confused so if anyone could explain that to me i'd be grateful.
i ran a 4:47 as a freshmen in high school. i'ma sophomore this year.
C0mikKilla And now you have to be 24-26 probably getting a job. Well, welcome to 2019, 10 years later.
was this the first or second part to his double?
@frostie1315 Well, Alan had a great time, but there's a difference. German had to run completely by himself and had the 3200 as well; Webb was in a pro field. Webb still amazing HS time, though..German too.
yea bc in the beginning, the race started at 0:04
kewl
i bet a lot of people thought he would die out since you always get those runners who run kamikaze status and slow down lol..BEAST
If I broke 5:00 I would shit my pants! Roger Bannister would be proud
This video is less than my mile time
THATS SOME MEAN PACING
@AlbertoVilla93 Juan Gonzalez. Remember that name. I assure you he'll be a beast.
I say that the elbow at the beggining held back german at the 4 minute mile i say if it wouldnt have happened he would have broke 4
Almost died 1:55
Any one else notice the pole that almost ended his run at 1:55?
dang, mine in march was 5:14 at a meet. haha. crazy!
actually he was about 1.8 seconds off of breaking 4 in the mile, this is only 1600m, a mile is 1609m, so adding around 1.5 seconds for that last 9.3 or so meters you get a 4:01.79, still very fast.
Diego Estrada, Bernie Montoya, Leo Manzano, Andre Arroyo (not mexican but hispanic).
that pole costed him that millisecond that could have gotten him that 3:59 he wanted
@ABOUT258dirtybeaners its mac fleet who's running at oregon now so he was good but not german good
Well the world record is 3:43.13 so he has some work to do.
i could do this in my sleep,
thats called dreaming.
i ran the mile in a minute.
no joke guys im am for real!!!
@wookiegamemaster I don't think he cares since he has run faster since.
@andyforthemaster this is like the twelth time ive watched this video and i just noticed that XD. its hysterical but your right he could/\'ve gotten seriously hurt.
Latinos, african americans, white people are all great in running but I havent seen an asian achieve a running accomplishment...lets go asians :)
Qu Yunxia and Wang Junxia?
Said Al-Guerni, Milkha Singh, Yoshihide Kiryu, Yuta Shitara?
Did anybody else hear that kim possible computer beep thing at around :16?
He is so insane hope he does good at the nike outdoor nationals. NON.
definately lying.
shit son i would WISH i was like this dood i wanna be that fast haha my pr is 5:14 :o ahh haha
Grant fisher vs this kid
+Apocalypto fernandez would win considering he is quite a bit older and is in prime right now
ASAP Raggy Grant Fisher is an NCAA champion though.
I can't even break 5 lol ):
rod*
