I like how that kid fell, came back to all the way to first place before shutting down, and the commentators didn't say a single thing 😂 😂 😂 it's like he wasn't even part of the race LOL
My guess is the commentator was looking down at his notes or something. It was still odd tough because that sequence occurred over the space of about 1/2 the track with no mention lol.
A little over 60 for the first lap and 54 for the second. The fast guys knew their only chance was to go out slow and to try to outsprint Kessler. Almost worked.
If you saw him pump his arms at the finish line you understand that this still meant a lot to him. Winning state is important but the way he raced is even more impressive
@@joeysinsane4283 He had no chance to beat Kessler. Hobbs runs sub 1:50 when he is trying. Today was just about doing the minimum effort to get the W at the High School state meet. He just ran the US HS national record in the 1500M less than a week ago and he has the Olympic trials in two weeks. He ran a 4:15 1600M to win, when he is capable of running close to 3:51. Nobody in this race had a chance.
@@staceman7981 yea I meant about this race, Hobbs had already run a 800 relay and the mile before and it was close to 90 degrees today, (so the fact that he still ran a solid 800 is amazing). But if Connor vachon didn’t trip he’d be right in there with him
@@user-ln8ml9nt4o Agreed. Very tough break for him. While I doubt he would have been able to beat Hobbs, I would never wish such bad luck on a young kid. You want everyone to get a fair shot at the win given that these are typically once in a lifetime opportunities.
He can run a much faster 800m than 1:54 as that's slow for a guy that ran 3:34 for 1500m. You can tell he was just playing in that race. Outstanding runners like this don't come around very often. Not only did he break the national 1500m highschool record but his time was better than the NCAA record too! Incredible!
That and he was probably DEAD TIRED from running a balls out 1:47 earlier in the day. He was literally praying for it to be a sit and kick for which he would win most likely (also saves his strength for bigger priorities).
I’m always shocked when athletes just let someone take them on the inside. I even watch professional track athletes allow that crap. Such poor tactical running. Dumb.
Wish the guy who fell wouldn't have spent so much so early trying to get back into it. You just can't recover from that. Hope he gets another chance next year (?)
Wonderful kid in the green shirt fell over, and was back in the shot 6 seconds later, promptly took the lead - expending all his anaerobic energy. Should have eased his way through. I always remember Rob de Castella talk about that and it's the one thing that stuck with me. Nonetheless, he has true grit and that quality will ensure he is going places.
@matt Harvey see I never ran anything longer than 400 in hs, neither did I ever cover the distance faster than 54 seconds, so yeah. Centro and Engels better stay on top of American mid distance as long as they can
The runner who could've had the lane blocked out must've figured that no one was back there to challenge them, though the way he ended he could've probably passed them on the outside if he had to.
The guy that finished 2nd deserved to finish 2nd. Pushing out to the 2nd lane to prevent someone from passing you on the outside, but then gets passed on the inside. It makes me happy when I see this.
An amazing athlete shown by the fact he is only about three seconds off Jacob Ingerbritsen and look how far he has progressed in last three years, wishing him luck at US olympic trials,
I can't say much good about the narration on this race. As in the 1600 there was no times given at the splits . Also why couldn't they also have had a running time on the screen?
Hats off to Kessler because obviously he's a beast. But like I said with his 1600, dude could just take it from the first second and gone for state record
Announcer is a "maroon", Hobbs took the baton in the 4X800 relay at least 10 yards back and almost won that race too. This Kid is going to be a generational talent. The announcer should use his excellent voice to just read other peoples words. Like buy these pancakes, they are yummy! IMHO
The best runners come from this state. My high school classmate had the fastest 1500 meter time in the world in 1995. Also, the best runners now are all bred in the state of Michigan.
I like how they only show the races Hobbs won even tho his best race all day was his insane split in the 4 by 800 that would have been the best race to watch
Did you see the split time?!? The beginning of the race was extremely slow! Personally I think they should’ve been going faster. Most of these guys were 1:52 runners.
Jesus, that's some awful commentary. Kid falls down and then races back to the front and gets no mention. He doesn't call out any 400 splits followed by 30 seconds of dead air (mercifully) and then doesn't announce the final time at the line. Guy oughta be ashamed of himself. It's like he chose this for his community service sentence.

I don’t think they noticed 😭 what a baller though. Can’t imagine the lactic acid he must’ve felt.
And they didn't really talk about Kessler being behind either.
I was going to race him last week but coach pulled us out of the meet unfortunately. Probably would’ve destroyed me either way

Thanks for the splits. They could have at least included the final time.
his 4x8 split was a 1:47
@@ellisondna2 and he nearly pulled off the comeback
The strategy to beat someone with a good kick is to go out fast though.
@@dhirajpallin2572 well yeah but I mean neither of those guys are in 1:48 shape so I think that may have only hurt them

Always close the door kids. Though he looked strong enough to pass them outside anyway.

Yo is that you? Nice
62 first half, 52 second half if you go by the times on the video. 1:54 and change total. 0:31, lapt 2 starts at 1:33, then finishes at 2:25.xx.
He also ran a 1:48 earlier.

hobbs was just messing with them to be honest
Na I was there after the 1:47 4/8 split and after the 1600m he was actually a little tired
@@lukecampbell8645 Thanks for the insight, I was also there and I talked to him after the race and he said he just ran it to sit and kick.

Same guy edged him in the 4 by 800, 1:50 guy

hobbs split 1:47 to comeback in that
Did you see how far back Hobbs was?
Now that's a gear change......such an advantage in middle distance. Good luck Hobbs.
Passed on the inside😎

Toying with them.
Hobbs Kessler wins the road mile 2023 world record, Michigan's beloved runner.
Never let someone come on your left side. Man came in second need to work on his arms.
The guy that finished 2nd deserved to finish 2nd. Pushing out to the 2nd lane to prevent someone from passing you on the outside, but then gets passed on the inside. It makes me happy when I see this.
Omg I was there so epic
Good stuff from my boy Suliman
What is up with that track? The finish line is at center field pretty much!
An amazing athlete shown by the fact he is only about three seconds off Jacob Ingerbritsen and look how far he has progressed in last three years, wishing him luck at US olympic trials,
Yeah ive raced this guy...
Great finishing kick
wow, they just gave him the inside path in that final 100
I was thinking the same thing. Make him run around you!
his form is nasty
Crazy finish! Yuriy Borzakovskiy style.
Hobbs Kessler - future Olimpic champion!
He really said..... zooooooommmm 🚗
Can’t wait to see my bro compete at the trials.
I was the sophomore in black and purple who got boxed in this race sucked
he just playing with these dudes at this point 🤣 so effortless
Right he could have went sub 3:55 in the mile
I can't say much good about the narration on this race. As in the 1600 there was no times given at the splits . Also why couldn't they also have had a running time on the screen?
Bro this man really let them get like 15m ahead of him, just to hawk them down with the crowd cheering at the home stretch. What a menace
crazy what r’s can do for a person
Hats off to Kessler because obviously he's a beast. But like I said with his 1600, dude could just take it from the first second and gone for state record
I was there I witnessed it 😦
I know he didn’t just less gooo 👉😁👈 2:25
amateur move to keep the inside open. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.
Kessler's national HS 1500 record is faster than the NCAA record. Bonkers.
He came around that last 200 in what 23?
26 about
How about some splits next time
Where's the timer bro??? I don't want to wait till the end to see how fast they ran.
Would have been interesting to have the splits...:(
Around 60 for lap 1 and around 54 for lap 2. Big negative split
This is his 1500m pace
Flo track no split
Geez
I’m the 4th place guy who got shit on
Fancy seeing you here, good job man
4th place in this race is nothing to be ashamed of.
Blue shorts, white top. Commentator had me watching 4th place. Lmao.

1:54
he did run 1:47.9 in the 4x8 but barely lost

Wow way to pace it

Nice
Hobbs is incredible, but did these guys really just let him pass them from the inside lane 👀!?
He's gonna be a PROBLEM
must be nice to live in a state where a 1:54 wins a state title
They ran slow cause they know Hobbs pr is 1:47, so they tried to sit back and try and out kick him
most of these guys are 1:52 runners, they thought hobbs was going to lead.
The best runners come from this state. My high school classmate had the fastest 1500 meter time in the world in 1995. Also, the best runners now are all bred in the state of Michigan.
NO TIME???????

Was the commenter even watching the race? Terrible job.
I like how they only show the races Hobbs won even tho his best race all day was his insane split in the 4 by 800 that would have been the best race to watch
What in gods name is he doing, this is hardly slower than his 1500m pace.
The guy in full blue attire went out too fast too early, just my assumption. Plse don't get angry
Did you see the split time?!? The beginning of the race was extremely slow! Personally I think they should’ve been going faster. Most of these guys were 1:52 runners.
Ooh, this kid is really good. Finishing speed like that as a high schooler? Yikes.
CHIN
TO HIP
Can’t post the 1600 because he ran soft for the win in 4:17 instead of going for sub4
he split 1:47 in the 4x8
Got hug the inside more
When you leave the inside lane wide open you deserve to get beat!

Entertaining, but such a bad race. What was that first lap pace.... and the people kicking at 400m.... That's just not how you run the 800m.
These commentators really don’t be doing anything useful 😭
Ambiguous
Not on my watch if you’re not my teammates you’d have to go around sir
this is like lebron james playing against a JV high school team
Wow great race, horrible commentating. Dear God
The guy who finished 2nd didn't run a smart race. Next time I HOPE he learns to NOT lead unless you KNOW you have a strong finish.

What event do u do?
