Young, the former Newbury Park prep standout, shatters the 14-year-old collegiate record.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO —For American distance running star Grant Fisher and his coach Mike Scannell, The Ten’s namesake event Saturday night was a check point on the way to the Olympic Games in Paris later this summer.
Behind the pair, Andreas Almgren broke the Swedish national record running 26:53.01 for third. South Africa’s Adrian Wildschutt, who ran collegiately for Florida State, also took down his national record with a 26:55.54 clocking for sixth place. “The U.S. is getting really, really good at the distances,” said Fisher, who set the American record at 10,000 of 26:33.84 at the 2022 The Ten. “A lot more competitive on the world scene.
Young ran a 3:57.33 mile in Flagstaff, elevation 7,000 feet, in January, a mark that converts to 3:48.7 at sea level. He then smashed the collegiate indoor 5,000 record running 12:57.14, dipping under the Olympic standard of 13:05.00. Young then answered those online critics who have constantly pointed out that he had failed to win an NCAA title at NAU.Young checked off the NCAA title box in a big way last weekend, blowing away the 5,000 field with a 54.
“Everyone knew this was the only time this year for the Americans to run the standard,” Young said. “So even though NCAAs were last week we were like I have to run this race. It’s so valuable to be at the Trials with the standard.” “I was happy with how I could kick at the end,” said Fisher, who covered the final 400 in 56.78 to Young’s 57.61. “This is a big year for everybody and getting the standard is necessary, so glad to get it done.”“No, no,” he said laughing. “He’s had a very historic last three months. If he was in shape last week to do what he did, he’s going to be in shape this week too. This was an awesome set up everybody and I thought it was well within in him to run sub 27 and he got it done.
