![Geordie Beamish EXPLODES Final Lap In Penn Relays Mile [FULL RACE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/35pc1HA7OsM/mqdefault.jpg)
I love watching this race every once in a while. So awesome to see Chez punk himself. He could have destroyed the other anchors but he tried to play games and screwed over his team mates that ran solid legs.
steve prefontaine would have been so pissed off by that final leg
narutoqweavatar yes sir
How true
Definetely
Imagine if he was the final leg lmao, type of race he woulda won for having the most guts
Not really. If he had been in the mile relay to begin with he would hsve been anchor and would never had let it be paced like that.
lmfao ive never laughed watching a track race
Wait wtf bc I’m laughing too fr😂😂
And this is why Cheserek is sponsored by Skechers
ouch
Occult hahah
Still gets paid better than 99% of Nike sponsored athletes...
ุ Yeah he made such a bitch move
what are you talking about? one of the best runners in US or the world right now, you nimrod.
i WAS THERE THIS WAS APPAULING WE BOOED THE ENTIRE 4 LEG
If Edward Chesereck would have just run like the rest of his team mates...they would have won. That is truly shameful.
Eli Marshbank not only would they have won, they likely would have broken 16 minutes in the 4xmile
Easily broken it!
All Chez ever does is turn a race into a fucking jog. Embarrassing
Screamin A Smith except for when he ran a 3:49 mile and his xc titles.
agreed. joke of a race. finish was fun, but the rest of that last leg was disrespectful to their other legs.
Those guys basically walked and still had a faster mile than I do.
Like seriously ches didn't deserve a win running like that. Thanks villanova.
Well, the Villanova runner did the same thing
Diego Carlson yeah but ches was on a different level than everyone there. It wouldnt have been a contest if he had just ran a mile instead of a warmup then a 200.
yeah well, he couldn't predict the future. hes sticking with what his coach/team wants him to do. this is what running has come down to sadly
Tactical running is such a pussy way to run. Ches insulted track and field here and since then ive had no respect for him
+Screamin There's a time for every kind of race. Headplay like in this one is interesting. Those who thought they had the best kick could hang back of the leader(s) and wait. Those who knew they didn't could or should have made a break earlier when it was brought to a jog. 50 yrs ago, Gerry Lindgren would have sprinted mid-race and just kept on going. Ches just miscalculated. He should taken it in with 400 or 600 to go.
Chesereck’s burst at 15:56 is insane, too bad he couldn’t hold it tho
happily he couldnt hold it
First three legs give their all to get up front, anchor leg immediately gives it up. K.
Still crazy that they look like there jogging and this is considered an insanely slow pace yet it is by far faster that any 800m I have ever run
Best time I've ever done was a sub 6 minute mile.
They did a comfortable like 4 something 🤣
That was the weirdest race I have ever seen in my life
That last leg was brutal as hell. WTF were they doing at that moment? Making dinner plans for that night at a high end steakhouse and then slow it backdown to confirm if that’s the spot they wanna meet at. Was Ches telling everyone that his soon to be agent was gonna pick up the tab so they better make sure that it’s the spot there conforming to be at.
Nova taking multiple dubs this weekend
The_wavy1 this is very old lol
@@britainreynolds7365 lmao
13:23 LMAOOO
Have to admire that Villanova team! Bravo gentlemen!
That was an embarrassment to track, Ches should have just ran it out, they all should have. It was like they were joking around in practice like middle schoolers.
Great announcers, knowledge and passion......
what the heck did i just watch
For the rest of his life, that guy from Villanova will remember out kicking the great Edward Cheserek
13:19 why did no one take the lead??
Edit: I mean they could’ve of easily went out hard and the others wouldn’t have caught them
You can be mad about what Chez did but he is one of the few runners who could make the entire pack slow down. Most runners would tr and pass when it got that slow. The reason Chez's strategy worked is because it is extremely draining for a runner to lead the pack. Chez figured he could easily run whatever someone else paced and then kick harder at the end.The smartest race was run by the guy who went the exact same pace as chez the entire time and didn't try and pass until the end.
this is still one of my favorite races to watch lmfao. as bizarre as what ches did was, he didn't necessarily run a bad race, he got the baton at the same time as williams and decided to repeat the strategy that worked for him the day before. hilarious that it didn't work
I agree, given ches was the better runner but everyone in that pack is to blame for it slowing down, mostly Villanova as well. Not sure why everyone hates on ches so much for this.
@@doubleagaming554 Because it's embarrassing and not what distance running should be like. It's great that Ches thought his best chance of winning was to slow down an intense race down to a walk and sprint the last lap, but I'd much rather watch an honest, lug-bursting 3:56 last leg to run under 16:00.
If they had tried, we could have seen two teams possibly under 16 minutes. Cheseret deserved to lose this race
I thought that was bobby shmurda in the thumbnail
LMAO
Underrated comment
16:13 Announcer doesn't know what to say "OHHHHHHHH"!
Bile should have continued his surge at 13:34. He wasted energy by speeding up to slow down to speed up again.
he shouldn't have made the surge at all. The smartest runner was the villanova guy who gt the handoff right behind ches and didn't pass him till 100 meters left.
Popped up on my recs a few years later. But this is the ONLY time I’ve ever heard a crowd boo a race
I met Jordy Williamsz today (Guy who closed for Villanova) at the track
All edward had to do was to outrun them , something he was very capable of .
This was such a great race
Crazy, just crazy wow....
Bro. THIS, is REDICULOUS!!! AND HILARIOUS!!! AND EPIC!
Congrats Villanova 🥳 ...what a finish!!!
That yell at 16:14 🤨
Youhana Lado Hahahahaha
Almost as good as the Howard Dean yell
he literally nutted
OOHHHHH
turbo 🤣🤣
As incredibly slow as they ran the final leg, the splits were about 66 - 70 - 65 - 53 for a 4:14 mile. Not world class but still fast enough to make me wonder how they can do that while looking so slow.
Also, I'm no purist, but the tactics don't bother me at all. Very interesting actually. Do people boo at an intentional walk in baseball, or when runners save their energy in preliminary rounds? (no) But since it did not work for Cheserek, in hindsight it is an obvious error in this case.
That kick was so fun to watch tho :D
such a good commentator
i...have no words
Incredible
Ending was pretty exciting though
The damn announcers were freaking out
Yeah they're still going pretty slow... 4:10 mile pace...
That was the best special O's race I ever saw. And please, BE OFENDED BY THAT! I WANT YOU TO BE OFFENDED! YOU DESERVE IT!
Even as a high school runner, I can never imagine doing something so pathetic...
Even if it's not your event, RUN IT
Quacking Duck I doubt u could run there pace ...
Kingdom Rush Walkthroughs Well not many high schoolers can. You can't compare NCAA to high schoolers but he can always get there within a few years. I trained a friend who runs a 4:25 mile at best within 1 year so it is possible. Aside from that, this race really is a joke especially at that level. Its like an insult to running.
@@miguelf2765 I have people on my college team who run 4 flat and the fastest guy runs a 3:57 on the track and a 4:15 on dirt
@@ViiRaLChaoticGamerTM23 That definitely requires a lot of dedication and great coaching. I truly admire that. Are you also on the team?
@@miguelf2765 yes I am I run a 4:58 mile I mean I never ran distance I always did sprints in high school but I do believe i have the mind set to get stronger
Villanova have been known to steal the show in the final kick of the last lap
what's the strategy here??? are they finding a very fast 800m runner and using him as an anchor? just slow the pace and jog and then sprint the last 400m.
hahaha this was insane. No idea how I've stumbled across this but glad I have.
If this happened in the Olympics...
Mr Chikn Watch the Rio 1500m. It was so, so slow.
I can't wait to run at Penn this month 😄🤗
Well... that was interesting to watch.
This is my most favorite race. It really shows how mental and tactical this sport can get
Wow! Grape!
Last 400m at 51 seconds and the first 200m of that 400 was in 29 damn
Your math is off There's no way anyone is running a 22 200 even after running at 4:20 pace.
@@fromrussiawithlove8480 you can time it yourself, Villanova guy closed in 22 high chez closed in 23 mid
16:14 listen lmao
TACTICAL RUNNING
MOST ENTERTAINING RACE EVER
Wow😮
Now that was just ridiculous.
If I was in that Oregon 4bymile team I would have absolutely told Ches off
The fact that Ches made them walk is actually sad. Man up and run your leg dude.
So if someone slows down in a race your telling me that makes you incapable of passing them. They are all to blame
never laughed like this watching a track race
Can someone explain the strategy here? Is leading really that bad?
I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing not knowing what to think of this race. Especially the anchor leg 😂
Chez ran a 4:13 lmao, he’s the best collegeiate didstance runner and ran a time the top high schoolers run
Why do they put the lane bumper at lane 5?
Most entertaining race of ALL TIME. When have you ever watched a race with 9 teams in it with 400 to go. Gives me the chills watching the last 200 unfold
Grehson Smith bro...
you would LOVE the 200m sprint event then
hell no, thats boring. way better when you throw distance guys in there together, much more entertaining
This is not a good race. This anchor leg was absolutely sad
Tactical races are so effing dull. They’re jogging half of the race
I once ran .4 miles in sub 16 minutes!
why did they post a race from 2015?
“they’re walking on the track” running a 4:20 mile
But haven’t you heard? 4:20 isn’t fast for the mile it’s just not fast
No one understands that ches had a race the day before and I think he had another relay after this. He wanted to make sure he was fresh so he can help another relay get a wheel. So he was doing the opposite of being selfish. If you know anything about college track, you would bet on Ches winning this any day of the week, jordy just had a great day
can someone explain to me why they’re running in lane 5?
UPenn has their track in a really old, historic building. Given the dimensions of the building they can't fit a full sized track. So instead of tearing down a historic building, they made the track smaller by making lane 5 400m around instead of lane 1. I think it's actually pretty cool and very distinctive. You should watch a 4x400. The teams that start in lanes 1 to 4 have to cut out to lane 5 instead of everyone cutting in.
Does anyone know the announcers names?
Why are they running in lane 4?
That was an embarrassment to track to race like that. This what happens when everybody wants to win and not race, it's a global problem becoming bigger -sigh-
That's why the world record in the men's 1500m & mile have been there for 19yrs now. I believe this is the longest gap in 120 yrs. Nobody races anymore. 1975 ( Filbert Bayi - 1999 Hicham El Guerrouj)The best years in middle distant running. Just my Opinion. Oh yea....After Sir Roger Bannister broke the mile WR and within 2 yrs about 2 dozen people broke 4:00 miles... After the science and medical establishment of the day said you had to be 7' 4" tall with a stride so long to break it. Great period also. I'm waiting patiently for the next great milers and middle distant runners.
Every person in that top group of the final leg who didn't win is a coward. And the winner is a genius.
Man I thought this was this year
I can't even imagine how Ches was chewed out after the race. By his coaches, and maybe even some of his teammates too, if they didn't say it they sure as hell thought it. Tough.
Holy crappage
Anyone else really pulling for Cornell?😂
While it was easy to mock the runners in the middle of the final leg... What a finish..!!! Suck it Oregon.!!
What was that story about the King that had no clothes?
this is the funniest race of all time
That was gross
best race I have ever saw in my life
when they started walking lol
While I don’t love the strategy to just tank the field, you do have to remember that the other runners chose to go along with this strategy, Chez’s move doesn’t work unless everybody slows with him, so do not put it all on one runner.
Most entertaining race I've watched in a very long time... All the hard work of the first three team members was for nought... SMH... #Squandered
13:39 BOY WTF
Lmao
LOOOOL
Last leg was weird
I came from Instagram 😁😁
Ches the clown got clowned in the final stretch! Thank you Villanova!
Tactical races should not be a thing. Its not a race. This was honestly sad.
It's like punting in football or playing a lot of possession in soccer. The goal is to win, not run the fastest time ever. There is nothing sad about a tactical race. It is a good strategy in many situations and makes the sport unpredictable. If there were no tactics, you could read down the list of PRs and tell us who the winner is without even running the event most of the time. And what isn't exciting about a sub 53 last lap?
Connor Harriman no a 53 lap is amazing. But it wasn't even at the end of a mile. It was jist a 53 lap. This race should have been a 4 by mile. Not whatever this was. And no, upsets happen without people being cowards. Its not like the guy with the fastest pr always wins.
agreed. this race is a 4xmile. not a 4x400.
Tactical races are just boring. No one wants to watch jogging for 90% of the race just for a dead sprint
This iw why there are pacers in distance races to prevent this
The word "tactical" only goes so far. This wasn't tactical, it was pathetic
and this is why edward cheserek is now only a sub elite runner at best. he couldn't hang.
I understand why everyone is so mad, but even as a track runner myself I thoroughly enjoyed this race and Edward genuinely made me giggle a few times. He was literally just messing with everyone the entire time.
I would be pissed if I was Chesereck’s teamate
16:15
This is an embarrassment to the sport of track and field. I understand the need to run a tactical race. What I don't understand is WALKING during a race. That was ridiculous.
That was embarrassing. "Tactical running". Yeah. Good finish, but none of those last leg runners would get a ribbon from me. . . your team worked so hard getting you a lead and you threw it. . . embarrassing.
This is why I do not like distance relays. Why not use these distance for open races: 100, 200, 400, 800, Mile, 2 Mile, 5000, 10,000? You could still have the 4 x 100/200/400/and 800 which are decent races.
