Woodstock (GA) High School senior Will Sumner and University of Georgia recruit flipped a switch and took over, racing around Nikolas Butler-Simpson and Jayson Ward in the final lap of the boys 500m championship en route to the first national record of The VA Showcase on Saturday and clocking a new high school best of 1:01.25. It's currently the fastest time in the world according to World Athletics. Sumner's performance re-set the record of 1:01.70 had stood for 10 years. Last accomplished by Christopher Columbus (NY) graduate Strymar Livingston, it had long been tested and almost seemed out of reach.

That is fantastic and shows his strength from running the 800. He makes it look so easy with his smooth running style. All I can ay is wow!
shows the strength of cardarine. A 1:01 is miles better than a 1:52 800m. Where was this type of endurance last season? Add on the fact he went he just went 1:15.58 in the 600 lolololol
@@joys8634 💀I was thinking this in the back of my head but here someone else said it. He also shows no signs of resisting lactic acid at the end of his races
@@joys8634 its that cross country strengt. ran it for the first time this fall
His outdoor 800 should be in the 1:45 range with the type of 1:15 speed he showed in the 600. He should get the National high school record with that speed, endurance and form.
Blazed it! Congratulations Will, great race, without getting boxed in I can see you going sub 1:01!
Nah fuck that he’s going sub 1:00
That was an awesome race and an even better comeback. It seemed he just kept on accelerating till the finish line with a final 200 of what? Like 25? Wow.
Faster than 25, His overall pace was 12.25 per 100
@@luke_222 ok but his last 200 was literally 25 seconds. We’re talking about his last 200 not his overall pace for the race
@@lytesknvince I'm saying he was running faster than 25 seconds per 200 the entire time so even though a 25 second last 200 is insane the comment is still underestimating how fast this really was.
@@luke_222 but you fatigue as the race goes on, so his last 200m was probably around 25.
I wanna see him in a 800 now!!😭
He timed it perfectly good execution 😎😎😎
12"3 the last 100m!that's quite impressive
YIKES!! And running on his toes at the end. DANG!!
Outstanding finish... Wow
What a run! Impressive!
Such a toe striker he even walks as a toe striker. What a kick Will had!
please take your time an incredible talent way ahead of his age.wow just amazing.
He just went 1:15.58 in the 600 🤯
I can relate to the last 150meters by the guys in 2nd and 3rd. They each had an 800 lb. gorilla riding on their backs.
Looking back on this, it is so cool that a national record was broken on a track that I have run on so many times and get to run on so many times each indoor season.
THEY CLOSING VA BEACH DOWNN
Wow..! That's easy pace right there... Special athlete...
Wow!
Man dude, there’s gonna be some crazy outdoor records broken this year
Wow😳. I’d love to see what he can do in the mile if he ever decides to make the jump.
That dude us smooth
Can you tell me how to increase speed
Sprint 5 days a week and lift 3 days a week. Take really good rest and never train too hard. Quality over quantity. Also rest in between sets needs to be high for quality reps
@@TrackStar42 Okay
Thanks 😊😊
If you don't mind we are making friends
i will get a chance to learn a lot from you
@@TrackStar42 Sprinting 5 days a week is a terrible idea
@@Dante033AJ I agree, 80% of your work should be easy. 20% should be hard. Strength training is not as simple as “lift 3 days a week” either. You’re gonna hurt yourself sprinting 5 days a week as is.
@@Bikernasty that would be for a distance runner. I don’t know a lot about sprint training, but they have a lot more hard running as a percent vs. easy running
Not first. Great finish by Will.
Screw flotrack stop copyrighting everything
Definitely could’ve run a 1 flat if he didnt have that huge guy covering 2lanes or if he turned on the jetts on the 150 mark
How the heck do you finish with that speed?
2nd place dude is a little bit too heavy. 1st place seemed to gain new life at the last 100m.
Will sumners going to win the next olympics 800m. Possibly also getting within earshot of world record pace.
I’d literally have to drop 20 seconds to be this fast.
They jogging 😂
Is he related to Brad Sumner of the 80s/90s?
Pretty sure. There’s a brad sumner TH-cam page that posts his races
@@thomasmiller28 Brad is dad, and yes he was a runner too.
It looked like he could’ve gone faster.
What could he do in the 400m????
after his roid cycle, probs sub 45
HS Boys 500m indoor. Who didn't run that? lol. My HS didn't even have indoor track.
Who was the black guy from ucla thst was having a stroke? Dude finished 2nd flopping his arms and legs all over the place
But he finished in second
@@chiman3778 Thats what im saying. I wonder how fast he would be if he didnt run like Squidward from spongebob
Looks like he was tying up..
Lactic acid
@@blastedpotato Lactic acid on the 1st stride of the race?
WTF is a 500m?
its just like a 400m but just a extra half lap.
It's for noobs
@@hineighbor nah best event
Combines 400m and 800m fields for indoor specific event. He avg 100m was 12.2x and pro men avg that. I'd expect him to break all HS middle distance records with that type of power/speed.
5x100m run back to back to back to back to back.
White king! W
wow that was a lazy 500m..couldve gone 1s faster!...or more!
Why do Americans race random distances nobody cares about? When's a video coming out for the 700m and 900m world record?
It's indoor track, there are always varyable distances. Like the 60m. Because of the smaller track Circumference.
raced a 500 last July and I'm from Italy. I mean even in other countries we race distances like that, it's just once in a while and surely not a championship race, racing different distances from the olympic ones can help the preparation to it.
Ignorant comment that won't age well. This is a distance contested in world athletics and even 600m and 1000m are world championship events in various years indoors
250m then 450m lol
According to Wikipedia, only 9 of the top 25 fastest 500 meter times have been run in the USA. Fail.
First?
