Rooks is a champ. Strategy was perfect: middle of the pack towards the front, eye the leader, kick it with 1.5 laps to go. Kids got a ring, a forever memory. Loved the race. Eyestone looked pretty happy as well, definitely a better coach than an actor. Actually a pretty good actor too.
Great race strategy. Run well within yourself for most of the race while keeping the leaders within striking distance and matching the move the by leader late and digging out with all you've got left in the last 300m or so. Great win.
Congratulations Rooks from a BYU alum! Congratulations to Hamilton too from a guy who lived in Hamilton, Montana. I'm very pleased. I wish they'd have had Hamilton in the interview.
Why can’t they run the distance events in the morning when it’s much cooler?! I can’t believe they make them run at nearly 90 degrees! Can’t they run at San Diego or somewhere less hot?
According to wikipedia Rooks fell in this race, but it's never mentioned (or seen) in this broadcast. Maybe it during the few seconds coverage switched to triple jump, around 1:55? Or maybe wikipedia is wrong.
@@brandonmroe265 Rono is a talent…unfortunately the belief from social media along with better shoes 👟 tracks and other techniques…it’ll be broken. Thought 💭 the two mile record would last but Jakob shattered it. Like 7:54 Forget 4min barrier …back to back sub fours and then some. Nasty! Get one of these Newbury park high schoolers to do steeples. Last one ☝️ was jeff Wilson and he ran for byu. Nico or the twins or salhmans…all have the fitness for it. Doing it is another thing but I can see sub 8 in steeples
It is 77 degrees at 7am tomorrow. That is when the women’s distance events should be. It will be almost 100 degrees in the evening. Way to ruin fast times and chances to break records when in peak shape!
Great race by Rooks! At 9:48 he may have thought they were talking about a 3K with the 7:52 (“that’s 63 flat”). 7:52 for 3K is great but 7:52 for 2 miles is called Jakob Ingrebrigtsen.
It is due to the water jump being on the outside of the track. Most tracks have the water jump inside so you are not going a full 400m per lap. With the water jump on the outside you are going further than 400m so the start moves closer the the finish line making the first barrier closer.
RISE AND SHOUT ! Terrific strategy and execution Rooks. What a finish kick... Congrats !
Not to be mean but what Rooks did on the last lap is called destroying someone.
Comes from living a “clean life.”
@@readegloeckner6532 It's all about soaking... you're feet on the water jump...
@@readegloeckner6532Run and not be weary, walk and not faint.
Yay Rooks!!! Looked like you had so much left even on a hot night! The crowd loved it!
Rooks showed great sportsmanship after the race in his interaction with Hamilton. Kudos in addition to the great race!
Terrific Rooks! You nailed it 💪🏽💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽! Go BYU!
This guy is from another league. He's dominant. Rooks, you are a Rock!

Who came here after watching Rooks medal in the Paris Olympics?
Go BYU!
lol, didnt even mention his name until 6:08 into the race.
Amazing race!
Now Olympic silver medalist!
had to watch the replay after USAs victory

The race at which Rooks fell was the 2023 USATF champs, the qualifier for Budapest Worlds. This is NCAA.
@@jamescooperman Thanks James
Rooks is young…wonder if he will go for the ncaa all time record? 🤔
Rono is still a long way away...it's the oldest collegiate record for a reason, he's still one of the fastest-ever NCAA guys at 5k and 10k too

I‘m a little confused, why did they jump over the first barrier so early?? Usually you skip the first one I thought.
I believe it’s different when you have an outside water pit.
I’m wondering the same thing…typically you bypass the first two barriers but my only guess is that maybe it’s because it’s a championship final
But even in the Olympics/worlds they bypass the first two so idk

Hamilton shot his shot. He was waiting so long to say that

Jakob ran 7:54 for 2 miles but at the same meet Girma ran a new 3k steeple world record of 7:52 which is what they are referring to
@@gusmcdaniel398 ah I see now - that makes more sense.
GO COUGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s MatMan?
why was the track shaped differently than normal?
Wait…aren’t they supposed to bypass the first two barriers? Or is that just because it’s a championship final

Comes from clean living and believing in God!
Why does it look like he is good for another lap or two. Everyone else looks done.
The goddamn steeplechase is so fucking exciting, it’s a high caliber shit storm of pure motherfucking adrenaline.
