To see an athlete that has not just the endurance to run a sub 44s 400m but also the quickness to run a sub 9.8s 100m is pretty incredible. He's got to be one of the most well rounded sprinters running right now.
You know Michael Johnson is undefeated in international championship competition with 16 gold medals medals going 16-0 in Olympic, world, and goodwill games… right? I love Fred but this is like calling Noah the most consistent sprinter ever again.
Interesting comment, but it really depends on what your definitions of great, and consistent are. sprinting is the culmination of the three races. Kerley is one of three that has run sub 10 sub 20 sub 44. Johnson has not. is Johnson the greatest 400m runner of all time? Id say so, even with his record being broken. But his greatness and kerleys are different. as for consistency, my opinion is that it is different than longevity. Sure, you need enough time to run enough races to be called consistent, but Lyles tied bolt for the most sub 20 races of all time and he is not even peaked yet. I would say there is a fair argument to say that lyles running more frequently would make his consistency more impressive.
@@justintaylor3336 I mean, it’s silly to say bc they have equal sub 20s they are equally great. Bolt doubled. That’s not even a debate. Lyles does one thing and his best thing isn’t as good as bolt. Nothing wrong with that. But he’s consistently great. Noah has no Olympic golds have you forgotten? I don’t think this is a definition issue either. Americas greatest sprinter is probably Americas most accomplished sprinting, one event or not. doesn’t mean Fred can’t become that. He doesn’t need to match a 100% gold rate either. But to your point he runs other events. Now if he had multiple medals in multiple events we can talk. But to compensate for a guy who has never lost a final in international competition, you must be decorated. Again, I like Fred I lot. And he can do it. And to your point again I think a varied sprinter who is decorated does appear better imo than a specialist who may be slightly more decorated. But he’s not done that yet. Imo he’s not outdone the likes of Wallace but I have a soft spot for Wallace and his performances in an era full of positive drug tests left and right. But Fred is kind of weird. He’s a quarter miler who prefers 1 lap despite being excellent at a much shorter distance. Usually it’s reverse. The issue is you absolutely can’t double the 100 and 400. The 400 is too tough and schedule doesn’t work. The 2/4 double is hard enough. Idk what he’s gonna do - Fred and erriyon are two of the most intriguing sprinters right now in terms of potential to shake things up. Can’t wait to see what he chooses to do at worlds and into Olympic year
Fred kerley is super talented, in the 100m 200m and 400m . And I think he will win , the gold again in the 100m,and silver r Bronze in the 200m at world championships.
Lot of credit should, be given to fred kerley coach, to spot is talent, for the 100m and the 200m, and moved him up, to the 100m and 200m,and he's still talented, in the 400m. I think he will win, the gold, in the 100m at the world championships .he is the man's to beat, in the 100m, no body can deny that. possable he will get a medal in the 200m as well. He is that good.he stand a good, chance of getting 1, and he is in great form. But him need ,to get through U,S,a, trials first. Good luck fred
Tyson Gay working with jd in Texas 3 weeks before 2008 us Olympic trials, just to get out of braumans old tempo based top speed/speed endurance program.. so to get in a ton of 60s and work the start...then I think connaughton from Canada said he dropped a 31.2 300metre suddenly 1 day a week out from first round of 100s in Eugene. There was no video of it but it could of been 31.6 also, can't remember. It was on the forums way back then, trackshark and sprintzone were popping way back then. Reason I remembered is because of that tebogo 31.56 you showed! That's the us trials when Tyson ran 9.68 final, 9.85 semi, 9.77quarter...probably would of ran 19.3x in the 200, but he ripped a cramped hamstring in the 200 opener quarter
Gay is nowhere near the best American sprinter. MIchael Johnson, Carl Lewis and Justin Gatlin are all better than he is while Lyles already matches him in World Championship gold with 3 and actually placed in the Olympics unlike Gay
. Tyson Gay never won an individual Olympic gold medal which is the requirement for true greatness, I would also rate Maurice Green amongst others in addition to those mentioned ahead of Tyson Gay.
I think a case can be made for Tyson, but ultimately I think Michael Johnson is America's #1 sprinter. I think Gay, Gatlin, Lewis, & Owens are 2nd~5th in no particular order, then probably Lyles at 6th.
Jesse Owens, Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis, Justin Gatlin, Maurice Greene, Tommie Smith, Bob Hayes, Jim Hines would all like to speak to you...Gay was probably the physically fastest of them all based on top end speed, but he as no business being put alongside the greats when he never won a single Olympic title
The sky is the limit for Fred! For the 200, I hope we are blessed to see how his top end speed compares to Noah's top end speed! If he gets a great start in the 100, I don't see anyone beating him. Coleman will have to run the race of his life to beat Fred, but Fred's top end speed trumps Coleman's great starts! I have popcorn ready because they will put on a show, for sure!! ❤
@@fredbouwman7218 quads doubling in size would be extremely large. Its a huge exaggeration to say. I personally will go against anyone who makes a statement against someone without decent proof.
Fred is 0-3 vs Knighton in the 200m & 3-5 vs Kenny B, so will be an interesting race between those 3 plus Laird, Norman & the collegians Lindsey & Gregory🔥
When Gay & Gatlin ran at the same time I would say that was a deeper field. Both have 100 & 200 PBs better than Kerleys. Then you had some other quite decent sprinters like Mike Rodgers 9.85 PB, Ryan Bailey 9.86 PB, Walter Dix 19.5x 200m PB, I forget his 100m PB.
That was an excellent analysis of this amazing man. He appears to be maximizing any and everything possible. Thank you. I think Fred Kerley is going to come very close to records himself. I love Noah and it will be a battle I'm sure.
I agree, he has peaked fantastically in the last few seasons. I think the only question is whether he can drop those times on the Budapest track, as all his 9.7s have been in oregon.
It actually fascinates me how terrible he is at 200m. For the fastest guy in the world, how he comes off the turn never in front and then for a 43.6 400m guy, cannot run people down, is really strange. On paper he should be thrashing Noah.
I wouldn't call him the fastest guy in the world this year there is a surprised Britain a Kenya which I honestly think can only run fast in Kenya im waiting until British trials to see if zharnal is the real deal as hit track record for false start makes me nervous every time I watch him then we have a Jamaican only just behind kerly in time this year
Okay you bring up such a valid point Fred Kerley is a monster in the 100m and 400m and always runs elite level times 100: 9.76 +1.4m/s 200: 19.76 +2.0m/s (AT ALTITUDE IN KENYA.. THIS MAN SHOULD'VE RAN LIKE 19.50) 400: 43.64 You're absolutely right, it boggles my mind. His 200m times are not trash at all, they're elite but it just seems pedestrian compared to what he can do in the 100m and 400m
yeah it's weird that a guy that can run 43.6 and 9.76 can't go sub 19.6 in the 200m. Maybe he's one of those guys that needs to focus on just one event to really become elite at it. Early on I remember he was the next big thing in the 4, then went down to focus on just the 100m really and became elite at that, maybe he needs to focus just on the 200m to really get his times down.
Kerley is a beast and a phenom. I love how he just quietly snuck up on everyone and I, for one, never thought he could achieve what he has in the 100m. I would love to see him take the gold in both the 100m & 200m at worlds. That would just be crazy, especially with all the deserved hype for Lyles this year. Can you even fathom if he also ran the 400m and somehow could take gold in that as well. I don't think any athlete has won the world championships in the 100m, 200m, and 400 m?
Hello there, I'm new to your channel. I love it! Is it Possible to actually show a whole race and not just clips? Or is there a TH-cam rule against that? You inspire me to watch racing but where do I go to watch races?
It's not unheard of for coaches to time off of an athlete's first step, not off of "go" or initial body movement (in the case the athlete is going on their own command). This is because athletes can step inconsitenly, stumble, or other have other irregularities rep to rep, timing off of the first step's contact reduces these inaccuracies. It makes training times marginally faster than an auto time or normal hand time, but if the athlete and coach are aware of this is can be accounted for. Off of his first step and stopping my timer when his torso is above the finishline, I averaged 31.82 seconds which might explain the fast time beyond just that is handtimed, tho idk how Kerley's team does their training timing.
Fred will be at worst third in the 200 m in the American Championships. One runner who should do a ”reverse Kerley” is Tebogo. With his easy flowing stride, he is a perfect 400m runner if he has the stamina to train for the distance
Bolt also started as a 400m runner. He ran the 100m for the first time a few months before the 2008 Beijing Games. In his second or third 100m race he broke the world record, went into the Olympics and broke it again in the final.
As a junior Usan Bolt started racing 400M SHOWs how important the strength that comes from that sort of training background for the 100m. Let's hope that Fred can go close too Usan Bolt's WR.
It is Very much an inspiration to all whom are New into track Field. I'm a big fan of this channel I was wondering why on your prediction is out of the podium Enryon Knight.....one of the most talented athletes ever
Someone should hold a sprint triathlon with the 100, 200 and 400 combined in one meet. There are plenty of athletes who could do it. Kerley, Van Niekerk, Michael Norman if he's healthy, etc. On the women's side, Shericka Jackson, Abby Steiner and Gabi Thomas would be competititive. Then each year they could up the distance for one event. Year two could be 200, 400 & 800, year three could be 400, 800, 1500 (Athing Mu!), and year four could be 800, 1500, 5000 (Faith Kipyegon has a 1:58 800m time and world records in the 1500 and 5000, while Sifan Hassan ran 1:56 800 a few years ago).
I just participated in such a meet 2 weeks ago, called it the King and Queen of Sprint. Great fun. Would love to see the worlds best athletes take on such a meet.
Yeah agreed, he's tied 6th all-time in the 100m, while he's 8th all-time in the 400m. It surprises me that doesn't translate to around 7th all-time in the 200m. A 9.76 & 43.64 combination implies his 200m PB should be in the 19.5s, near Dix, Gay, & Gatlin. Gatlin's 100m best is 0.02 better than Kerley's, & didn't run the 400, yet his 200 is 19.57 7th all-time, while Kerley's is not in the top 25. Maybe one of these days Fred will put together a 200 to his full potential.
You should do a weekly recap video during the track season. I come to your channel for a lot but it would be good to get a look at the top athlete in there event for the week
@@TotalRunningProductions Been watching you for years. It got me getting back into T&F again after a lot of years. Back into running again too. Thanks for all the content.
By the looking at his records in the 100m, an unofficial 300m and 400m races, Fred Kerleys has the ability to go sub 19.6 s over the 200m. Noah Lyles and Erryon Knighton can get get a sub 19.6 seconds. *I think Fred Kerleys have the ability to go sub 19.6 seconds in the 200m race but this can only happen once in dozens of 200m races like what Lyles and Erryon did* Kerleys hasn't get it so he might get that moment in budapest 200m, in case he can pass the USTF championships. Whoever gets these moments, who can go sub 19.6 s will get gold in the 200m. Fred Kerleys is on the list along with Noah Lyles and Erryon Knighton.
in general i like the videos and how theyre build up, props for that. But I'm pretty annoyed by the clickbait titles, which led to me watching several videos which I later regretted. Thus most of the time I'm used to ignore the videos by now as a result
Jacobs hasn't done much since because of injuries and Kerley has rain 3 9.7 races since then. He was silver in 2021 and Gold 2022. Clearly he's the best in the world right now.
@@tahjaonestly it's not that hard at the moment but zharnal surprise puts kerly as only 3rd fastest this year so I wouldn't call him the best I don't have much faith in the Kenya guy as he hasn't won since leaving Kenya but zharnal has won his races
I think Fred will run in the 9.7s again this year, but I'm not sure he will PB. I do think he'll PB in the 200 as his PB imo does not line up with his caliber. His 100m of 9.76 & his 400m of 43.64 imply that he should be capable of a sub 19.6 200m & be in the top 10 all-time, yet he has yet to break the top 25 all time in that event for whatever reason. I predict a low 19.6 this year for his 200m which I think should just barely get him onto the US team. Behind Lyles it's a real toss-up between Knighton, Bednarek, & Kerley.
I had a conversation with Fred and I told hm to drop the 400m and go for the 100m since he wanted to be a star❗ He took my advice & I lost my phone with his number 🤣🤣🤣
No. If you mean win gold in so three events but maybe if you mean get at least bronze. Even then though I don't like his odds as he is at best the 3rd fastest 200m sprinter in the US
Per performances thus far, there is no guarantee that Fred Kerly will win the 100m. He has not separated himself from the Jamaicans and the British runners. It will be an interesting showdown. Barring no injuries, Noah Lyles should win the 200m. However, that is subjected to how Degrasse of Canada is running. We haven't seen him all season.
Wayde van Niekerk has posted much better times than Fred. Fred might be slightly quicker over 100m and 200m but Wayde is the undisputed champion over 300m and 400m, with over 0.6 seconds on Fred.
Modern day social media hype forgets the fine athletes of the 50s and 60s ...Tommy Smith, dave sime running 200meters on a straight cinder track ...I doubt many of today's sprinter would come near 20 flat on cinder in 1960s spikes .. No comparison ..
My advice to fred is to focus on one area, 100m, 200m or 400m. He has potential but with these distraction he will only be recognize as a good sprinter but not great sprinter
Fred Kerley is truly such an athlete!!!I am just always sooo impressed by him!!!
To see an athlete that has not just the endurance to run a sub 44s 400m but also the quickness to run a sub 9.8s 100m is pretty incredible. He's got to be one of the most well rounded sprinters running right now.

Fred will be at worst third in the 200 m in the American Championships. One runner who should do a ”reverse Kerley” is Tebogo. With his easy flowing stride, he is a perfect 400m runner if he has the stamina to train for the distance
Bolt also started as a 400m runner.
He ran the 100m for the first time a few months before the 2008 Beijing Games.
In his second or third 100m race he broke the world record, went into the Olympics and broke it again in the final.
Big up to tropical park in Miami.
As a junior Usan Bolt started racing 400M SHOWs how important the strength that comes from that sort of training background for the 100m. Let's hope that Fred can go close too Usan Bolt's WR.
Great shots of the old Hayward Field!
One of the greatest second bananas in history for sure!
dude can do it all
It is Very much an inspiration to all whom are New into track Field.
I'm a big fan of this channel I was wondering why on your prediction is out of the podium Enryon Knight.....one of the most talented athletes ever
Someone should hold a sprint triathlon with the 100, 200 and 400 combined in one meet. There are plenty of athletes who could do it. Kerley, Van Niekerk, Michael Norman if he's healthy, etc. On the women's side, Shericka Jackson, Abby Steiner and Gabi Thomas would be competititive.
Then each year they could up the distance for one event. Year two could be 200, 400 & 800, year three could be 400, 800, 1500 (Athing Mu!), and year four could be 800, 1500, 5000 (Faith Kipyegon has a 1:58 800m time and world records in the 1500 and 5000, while Sifan Hassan ran 1:56 800 a few years ago).
Been saying this forever, an all-round sprints competition would be 🔥
I just participated in such a meet 2 weeks ago, called it the King and Queen of Sprint. Great fun. Would love to see the worlds best athletes take on such a meet.
Great idea
the clip at 2:09 tells me everything I need to know about Fred Kerley and his dominance in the 100m!
If you really think about it. Fred is a better 100m athlete than he is a 400m athlete
Yeah agreed, he's tied 6th all-time in the 100m, while he's 8th all-time in the 400m. It surprises me that doesn't translate to around 7th all-time in the 200m. A 9.76 & 43.64 combination implies his 200m PB should be in the 19.5s, near Dix, Gay, & Gatlin. Gatlin's 100m best is 0.02 better than Kerley's, & didn't run the 400, yet his 200 is 19.57 7th all-time, while Kerley's is not in the top 25. Maybe one of these days Fred will put together a 200 to his full potential.
My thoughts exactly. Also, he is clearly build like a 100m sprinter
Every step this man takes covers close to 8ft on average! 32.00-32.5 in the 300m is real deal speed endurance! I could never get past 33.00.
I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself you’d be top 500 in the history of track at 33.00 haha
That's 41 strides in 100m which is the exact same as Usain Bolt (and he was known for his stride length.)
@CYMotorsport That's just practice hand time. Long time ago
Even running 33 (handtimed) seconds is insane so don't beat yourself up on that!
Ain't finished until kerley say's, right fred
I love this kid. He seems so humble. I hope he kicks Lyles ass in the 200. Hes no Bolt but his strdes are powerful.
Go Fred!!
You should do a weekly recap video during the track season. I come to your channel for a lot but it would be good to get a look at the top athlete in there event for the week
That's a really good idea. It's hard to squeeze in everything that happens in separate vids. Thanks for the recommendation
@@TotalRunningProductions Been watching you for years. It got me getting back into T&F again after a lot of years. Back into running again too. Thanks for all the content.
@@0celtay That's awesome dude. Keep it up! Would love to hear about your progress
why the clickbait thumbnail ? I dont get it
He can do as he pleases because of his 400 meters abilities. 😊
"this sprinter is kerley undefeated so far in 2023"
By the looking at his records in the 100m, an unofficial 300m and 400m races, Fred Kerleys has the ability to go sub 19.6 s over the 200m.
Noah Lyles and Erryon Knighton can get get a sub 19.6 seconds.
*I think Fred Kerleys have the ability to go sub 19.6 seconds in the 200m race but this can only happen once in dozens of 200m races like what Lyles and Erryon did*
Kerleys hasn't get it so he might get that moment in budapest 200m, in case he can pass the USTF championships.
Whoever gets these moments, who can go sub 19.6 s will get gold in the 200m.
Fred Kerleys is on the list along with Noah Lyles and Erryon Knighton.
😮I thought it was impossible go be this shredded…
What? What didn't they tell us? Weird title
He would be on his way to a Hall Of Fame career in the NFL if he wasn’t competing in Track!
looking forward to see him race Noah Lyles in the 200 and 100 meters!
what what i want to see too who stronger n who has more endurance and topend speed
He’s a future goat
💪💪💪
in general i like the videos and how theyre build up, props for that. But I'm pretty annoyed by the clickbait titles, which led to me watching several videos which I later regretted. Thus most of the time I'm used to ignore the videos by now as a result
Undisputed? Jacobs is the reigning Olympic champion.
Jacobs hasn't done much since because of injuries and Kerley has rain 3 9.7 races since then. He was silver in 2021 and Gold 2022. Clearly he's the best in the world right now.
@@tahjaonestly it's not that hard at the moment but zharnal surprise puts kerly as only 3rd fastest this year so I wouldn't call him the best I don't have much faith in the Kenya guy as he hasn't won since leaving Kenya but zharnal has won his races
Usain Bolt's world records of 9.58 in the 100m and 19.19 in the 200m, both set in 2009, won't be touched anytime soon!
Agree with you BOLT THE GREATEST
Fred is PHENOMENAL! At the 2023 World Championships, I predict Fred will place 1st in 100, 2nd in 200, and top 3 if he runs 400.
Fred NEEDS to go back to Phase42. Just Sayin' Noah is unbeatable. How many times has Noah gone under 19.75? LOL
I’ve been dreaming of a USA 4x100 men’s relay in Paris of Coleman to Kerley to Knighton to Lyles.
Kindly give Usain Bolt his flowers
Have to admit, I'm inpressed.
#TotalRunningProductions Undisputed, greatest 100m Athlete in the world, Bro you are reaching
He hasn't even been running that fast in the 100 plus he's only been running against pretty slow runners this year so not really that impressed
@@DG-iu8ck correct, bro need to keep it real and stop over hype
Who's better?
bruh biggest clickbait like always
Kerley All d Way. Keep Traing. Rem All d Transition. Gt 2 Baba. They d Key 2 Acing a Race.
I think Fred will run in the 9.7s again this year, but I'm not sure he will PB. I do think he'll PB in the 200 as his PB imo does not line up with his caliber. His 100m of 9.76 & his 400m of 43.64 imply that he should be capable of a sub 19.6 200m & be in the top 10 all-time, yet he has yet to break the top 25 all time in that event for whatever reason. I predict a low 19.6 this year for his 200m which I think should just barely get him onto the US team. Behind Lyles it's a real toss-up between Knighton, Bednarek, & Kerley.
WELL DONE!!!
Usain Bolt's performances are still the greatest
He should try all three if they give him enough time to do them all. 🎉
who knows why he changed from the 400m (Wayde van Niekerk 400 m: 43.03 WR (2016))
Nice vid!
You literally couldn't have watched a 9min video that quickly to know if it's a nice vid!
@@AllInTheGame01 trust man
@@dylanbennett598Sure bud
@@AllInTheGame01 u just dont know how to trust
Whatch out for lyles. Dont forget about knighton
I had a conversation with Fred and I told hm to drop the 400m and go for the 100m since he wanted to be a star❗ He took my advice & I lost my phone with his number 🤣🤣🤣
Fred Kerley greatest athlete alive rn
Can't be if he cannot beat bolt record usain bolt is the greatest.
🇯🇲
Do you think it’s possible for him to even attempt the triple crown at a stage like the world championships or even the Olympics?
No. If you mean win gold in so three events but maybe if you mean get at least bronze. Even then though I don't like his odds as he is at best the 3rd fastest 200m sprinter in the US
Seems strange to me not to want the national championship title
Really this video is great but can’t you think of other titles that are more explanatory?
Per performances thus far, there is no guarantee that Fred Kerly will win the 100m. He has not separated himself from the Jamaicans and the British runners. It will be an interesting showdown. Barring no injuries, Noah Lyles should win the 200m. However, that is subjected to how Degrasse of Canada is running. We haven't seen him all season.
Ivdo not fear the man that has learnt 10,000 techniques . but the man who has practiced 1 technique 10,000 times
4:45 if all 4 race and kerley manages to finish 4th, would be still qualify? i'm assuming that lyles has a bye for his 200m gold medal
Yes he would still qualify since Noah is the current 200m world champ.
Just wait til he gets caught of doping
Here we go
Is WADA checking NCAA competitions ?
Wayde van Niekerk has posted much better times than Fred. Fred might be slightly quicker over 100m and 200m but Wayde is the undisputed champion over 300m and 400m, with over 0.6 seconds on Fred.
Clean?
Tebogo will rule them all
Modern day social media hype forgets the fine athletes of the 50s and 60s ...Tommy Smith, dave sime running 200meters on a straight cinder track ...I doubt many of today's sprinter would come near 20 flat on cinder in 1960s spikes ..
No comparison ..
400M runners are always training for the 4 even thought they aren’t actively racing that distance.
Trying to figure out why his 200m is not faster.
19.60s in the 200🎉🎉🎉
Wayde "Vahn" Niekerk 😄
First❤️ love straight outta south Africa 🇿🇦
sorry you are actually second
Ye ye😭
Seems like he puts the least focus on the 400, and yet it might be the event he has the highest potential in.
My advice to fred is to focus on one area, 100m, 200m or 400m.
He has potential but with these distraction he will only be recognize as a good sprinter but not great sprinter
where is Michael Norman?
I almost wanna say he should consider going back up to the 400 again. The 200 is just too stacked.
Not me clicking the video thinking he actually ran 9.69💀
He’s doing all of this with ankle ailments and two broken toes
No one can defeat Fred Curly Q. Except DeGrasse
