"All guts man, just run my heart out, I didn't come here to lose" What a beast
"I have faith in the lord, have faith in my training, have faith in my teammates, my coach, my girlfriend. I have faith. I believe in myself!"
Andrews was the only guy who actually paced himself lol. He went 51 and 53 while the other guys were dying doing 49 and 55.
I have watched this 6 times and still can't believe this finish!!!
.01 off the meet record. Damn.
there's mortals then there are 800 runners
Holy shit..
Sucks Robby got disqualified from his Olympic race.
Robby Andrews didn't miss the indoor season... hell he won the indoor NCAA 800m
gives me goosebumps everytime
I love his facial expression at the end. Inspirational.
Beast
That was awesome...Just like Dave Wottle in the olympics
all of the good runners come from NJ
i really can wait to go to the ncaa. that will be so awesome competing with athletes of that magnitude. high school is getting boring. only 2 more years to go
I love how everyone is criticising Charles...If it weren't for Robby Andrews he would have won this race with an amazing time...Robby Andrews is a stud, and ended up going pro right after this...Charles' strategy was perfect, know why? because it was HIS strategy. Maybe you'd rather see him run like the all the other guys he beat. The ones that finished BEHIND him and did exactly what you guys are saying HE should have done. Amazing time, amazing race, amazing athletes.
I can't believe that kick. At that level its fucking ridiculous!
he was so relaxed at the end. everyone else looked tight.
Elijah greer half heartedly shakes andrews' hand
He's a competitor. He did the minimum grats shake. Doesnt need to do more.
If he would have been up with the leaders any sooner he would not have run the time he did or won. The pace was too fast. That's why he was able to pickoff the others at the end. Its a tactic used by a lot of good 800m runners to stay off the lead for 600-700m then make a good final move at the end.
The BEARD
Rollin'.
INCREIBLE!!!
The 800 is the hardest event in track&field \the pace is difficult to measure and maintain. [Robby knows the game]
He doesn't even look slightly tired...
if I could do a 49.85 right now JUST FOR one lap I would win 400 so easy in high school... dreams crushed. haha
I'm an 800 runner and I hate the 1500. It was not easy for me, even though I used to run 70 miles a week in high school. I was and am pretty competitive in the 800, but my coach once put me in a mile race, and I was barely able to break 5 minutes. Everyone is different, and everyone has different things they are good at.
it doesnt matter what is "poor strategies" you run the race that you know your body can run everyone is different
I love this! I just don't like that he cut off the white guy in yellow at the end...
I was not expecting that...
how do these dudes not look tired!? insane stamina!
@GARTEE100 agreed. i usually run the 400 but I ran the 800 one time and it was pretty exhilarating and challenging after coming off the first lap
Understood. I was referring more to actually having to go on the outside to pass those guys at the 100. Then again, in order to avoid that, he'd have to be up with the lead pack.
Straight outta New Jersey from Manalapan
Jok has a brother that plays basketball at Iowa. Talented family!
+Caleb Brown they're not related. his named is J-o-c-k
steeple chase is harder than that. They do hurdles and water jump for almost 2 miles.
@BeFruitful7 the commentator means not as much basic speed, as in his 400 time wouldnt be as fast as some of his other competitors. Thats why he hangs back because 49 would be too fast for him, so he has to run a more even race.
@RealTri4Lyfe wow yeah i don't know why I thought that... thank you for correcting me in an intelligent manner.
looks just like the 1972 olympics
When you consider a 17 year old from Kenya ran 1.41 8 last year in the London.
We are in trouble.
Not in keyna sorry never.
Tony Winston Also consider the fact that you NEVER know the true ages of these athletes in Countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, and Nigeria and such
Are you kidding me,Believe me,I hope they are lying because they make us Americans look foolish.What an insecure man you must be.
Right, a "17 year old". Probably was early twenties at the time, age doping sucks.
***** Sorry,I wish it wasn't true..It is There are light years ahead of Americans.
He looks like the Karate Kid!
He does!! lol
you mean the guy from the University of Oregon... you know the big O. The oregon ducks?? One of the best (the best in my opinion) University for running in the Nation. That one guy named Pre who ran there, not a big deal or anything. You know that yellow jersey. The least you could say is the guy form Oregon...
Well I guess if they went down in distance, they would be far less competitive but you could say the same thing about going up in distance. Usain Bolt is an amazing 100/200m runner but even his 400m is only average for a professional. Imagine the drop off for a 3000m which is the distance of the steeple. The difference is that the 400mH requires more natural talent since it is a sprinting event. Like you, my opinion is rock solid and I won't change it. Distance runner for life.
Skip to :46 for action
That time would've given Nick Symmonds a bit of trouble.
2:06 Andrews in last...............
@RealTri4Lyfe the 2011 indoor season hasn't happened yet... and the 2009-2010 season he was a senior in highschool. He is a freshmen he's had one indoor season and one outdoor season in NCAA... I feel like a stalker lol
Announcer: Robby andrews doesn't have the footspeed. (As Robby runs by everyone down the home stretch lol)
i would hate to have to do an interview after an 800. it feels like your lungs going to collapse and now you have to answer questions.....fuck no
from last to first that late? wow
Anyone else notice how red andrews' legs look? o_O
I would say they both had poor strategies...the winner clearly has a really strong kick, he needs to set himself up better in the future. Could probably get lower times that way.
@linglingjr if youre a stalker then you really not very good at it. his freshman year he won the 2010 indoor national race at 800m and then got second to wheating in outdoors 2010. indoor 2011 injured, wins 2011 outdoor. get it? hes going to be a junior this upcoming season
yessir
Wow. If he didn't have to go all the way around those runners, he may have shaved off .2 seconds.
Why is Dictator Aladin runs for UCSB ?
@PickledHarrrington prototype victory 2's
next nick symonds
why are they freaks? freaks meaning good or bad?
400mH?
Haha did the centro shrug
andrews looks geeky
or steeple.....
why were they running so slowly
50 and 54....not quite.
@wafflepwnify u see David Rushida? It's like he's an android or something lol. And what's amazing is that he always runs from the front.
lmao same
Every distance runner on my team will say that going up in distance is easier then going down. Usain isnt a good quarter miler because he doesnt train for it (even though he is on the Olympic 4x4 team this year). Every 800 runner will say that going up in the 1500 is a lot easier. You will never run a 47 400m let alone with hurdles in your way. I could easily up my mileage and be very decent at the steeple. Your argument is dumb.
oh my god, that guy's just spouting sports cliches in the interview so hard, i don't think he's even paying attention to the questions. "have faith in the lord, have faith in the...." "bring it on" etc are almost non-sequitors. it's like he's trying to coin a catch phrase or something
"African" isn't a race.
terrible running strategy. oh well he still gets the win. I had a lot of natural ability in the 800 but my body was more accustomed to the short bouts of effort in football and basketball. i never enjoyed the race enough to actually reach my full potential. I regret that now. This race is the worst!
Damn. Killer kick!
Coming from an 800meter runner myself , this is an incredible run by Robby Andrews. No matter what you say, he did fantastic. Amazing.
Someone's been studying the Dave Wottle book of 800m strategy.
This dude looks like he just walked on the track from buffalo wild wings
was this before Dan Bilzerian got famous?
All these people talking as if they were running experts and criticizing his technique as if they could run as fast as him hahaha his technique is the hardest technique out there because you must find YOUR own fast enough pace and it's extremely hard to keep it and run amazing times like this
+Edgar Garcia Good point, gotta do it your own way, I've never run this race but I'd probably run it the way he did.
I think he is right, I am 15 years old and run for Argentina, I can do the 800mts in 2 minutes, I found it the easiest way to run the first 400 at 1:03 and the last 400 in 57s
yeah and its even harder to lead the whole way if your not a pussy
Drew not rly depends on the mind set
Still inspirational after all these years... “sweat and tears man” - classic!
"have faith in the Lord"
you try speaking coherently after going from last to first in a 1:44, 800. im amazed he was still concious.
@TheBlackKatana that is what im saying!!! they run sub 1:45 and instantly smile for the camera. As if they are getting an interview b4 the race.
damn, this guy is a fucking boss, i'd buy him a drink anyday. his interview at the end makes me like him 2x more. respect.
One of my favorite races to watch. Great motivation to sit and kick!
Its easier to go up in distance then it is to go down. Im a sprinter/hurdler and I bet I could train to JUMP over the barriers like the steeplers do. I would invite any distance runner to go down in distance and watch the sprint while HURDLING with 10 barriers in their way..... 400IH is harder. Sorry, good try.
Legend
So the leader goes sub 50 for his first 400, and ends up at about 55 for his second lap, while Andrews runs a more even race and even a LONGER race, since he went so wide to pass the field.
@TheBlackKatana then you should have used that 400 speed to your advantage. after the first lap you put on the afterburners
Jock is known to go through the first 800 in 50 point!! :o. He had a pretty shitty race then.
@BeFruitful7 Well, he doesn't have the footspeed. What he does have is better speed endurance.
hahahha the look on his face! Good for him
i thought robby andrews was the guy in second before. i was like wait what the fuck!
Whatever. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. We're both runners so that's good enough for me.
400m IH is the hardest track event not the 800.
cant pitch so he must win something else..
JERSEY!
Anyone know what spikes he's wearing?
Is he not good at starting?
haha the 800 is worst race ever
nah, you don't have to deal with the same amount of lactic acid. The whole second lap of the 800 is a fight against your body. The 400 is tough but you're only fighting the last 50-100 meters
11.3 last 100m holy fuck..
This man's both smart and courageous.He left nothing on the track.He brought the product.
