2007-05-11 4:009.28 SB UIL Track Championships
2008-05-08 4:06.87 PR UIL Track Championships

fernandez improved from 4:24 as a frosh (don't know sophmore times) to 4:11 as a junior then 4:00 as a senior...

chris derrick is and will be a better runner in college than german will ever be!!! I will bet anyone! Just trust me!

so do u consider urself a mexican !!!?????? cuz i do!!!!! nd i love running just like u!!! im from ok

can usay goat

No, Mike he's not too old to run Juniors, but USATF Juniors was the same weekend at NON. So he could not have competed in both...therefore cannot compete at world juniors this year. He can do it next year, though if he is not too old, which if I remember correctly he wont be.

iam proud of this guy. lets show some latino power.

Listen to German's voice and accent in this interview, then listen to the voice in this youtube video. It's halarious.

he actualy has a really hot girlfriend. I don't think he's gay. Its just his accent makes him talk funny. but who cares he just a national record.

Haha I like that Anonymous Coward, sorry I forgot to put my name I just pressed submit!

He says that the end of his season but what about the World Juniors? I don't think they have a 3k, but what about 1500 or 5k? Is he too old? I think you have to be 18 or under on the 1st September to be a Jnr?

The boss

The jewelry does not pertain to nationals, you can wear whatever you want at nationals!

only states that haven't changed their rules in the past 100 years enforce that. jewelry has no bearing on anything. look at the pros

i just noticed something, at my highschool meets if we wear any type of jewelry, even if its girls wearing earings or rings or whatever, they'll get disqualified as soon as they step on the track. im not saying german should be DQ'd, but shouldn't he have taken out his earings?

This was amazing, I was glad to see history made!

Great to see such talent coming through the ranks!

German FTMFW at NCAA Nationals!!!!!! He just decided he wouldn't tell anyone about it yet : )

this guy is an idiot.

he is so beautiful!!!!

lets say, HOT

I'm just happy to have the honor of seeing this champion achieve this set of goals. Thanks to those who posted your videos. I have also had the opportunity to meet Fernandez as his substitute teacher. He really is as nice as he seems. He is friendly and down-to-earth, and even humble for a guy who has earned his confidence and my respect. I look forward to his achieving his collegiate goals, and hopefully see him in the Olympics someday.

Russia wins!!! Holland go home...

Dear fellow track fans. Let's celebrate, not trade barbs. We've been blessed with tremendous recent performances in so many events. Look at Shalane, Shannon, Chanelle, Jeremy, Bernard, German, Alan, flotrackr... Isn't it great that we all know them by their first name. I am relishing the revival of our beloved sport. Let's run!

he's very good looking

What did Jeff Nelson do in college?

Cool Earrings tool...German=Cabada. Colby will be destroying him regularly by sopre year.

Great interview...it was great witnessing history.......
Long live Jeff Nelson..Hail the new king!

best high school 2 miler ever!!!!!!!!

Mr. Nelson, don't be so hard on German. He's a wee young lad with lots to learn about recognizing faces that almost nobody in the world would recognize. Your cousins probably don't even recognize you.

Seriously, whoever wrote that comment- BRILLIANT! I laughed my a ss off for a good five minutes!

i can't believe you didn't know who i was. a s s hole

Puskedra ran like a .

Jesus Christ!

oh ya, I love how he basically just said Puskedra screwed up his splits. haha, cause we were all saying the same thing. I just hope that Puskedras head is a little smaller now

oh this kid.... Congrats
