I'm often amazed by the incredible performances I see at track meets. I'm occasionally amazed by the interviews athletes give (or more precisely, the questions they are asked by the interviewer). But I'm rarely amazed by the decisions athletes make. Most athletes go with the flow--run the same meets everyone expects and compete in the same events they always do--and so are judged by how they perform relative to previous years' records. Last weekend, I found myself amazed by German Fernandez's decis... (more)

Unfortunately we weren't able to see German compete this past weekend at NCAAs as he gets ready for World Cross, but we were able to round up the video of his 3:55.02 collegiate record setting mile. Its pretty amazing to watch him do this all alone! With this performance German also broke his own Junior World Record in the mile that he set earlier in the year (Video of 3:56).Congrats to German and Coach Dave Smith, we look forward to seeing them on the track this spring!

With so much going on--USATF Indoor Champs, NCAA Conference Champs, World's Best 10k and more--it only makes sense that athletes are getting Mebbed this week.  Let's get right to the most impressive performances.  (As usual, I'm focused on Americans only...sorry Ryan Gregson!) 1. German Fernandez 3:55.02 NCAA record/Junior World Record mile & 3000m double victories at Big-12 Championships (results).  Here's what's so ridiculous about this mile: he won by 10 seconds!  He went out and ran, by himself,...

German Fernandez has been setting the track afire in his frosh campaign at Oklahoma State. The 18-year-old superstar produced a stunning indoor debut with his 3:56.50 mile in late January, the fastest-ever indoor time by any Junior miler. Then last weekend, the Californian used a competitive 3000 on Washington’s big oversized track to clock a PR 7:47.97, an all-conditions indoor American Junior Record. (more)

Last week I said that the Tyson Invitational was the meet to watch, but I was wrong.  The real meet to watch was the Husky Invitational in Seattle.  They combined an over-sized track, a huge number of top runners, and a mile field that didn't wimp out (I'm talking to you, Tyson field) to make fur a huge number of great performances.  I'm limiting the awards to five this week, in order of impressiveness: 1. Jenny Barringer 15:01.70 NCAA record for 5000m.  This performance at the Husky Invitational was ab... (more)
