#80	Chris Harland-Dunaway March 19 at 1:58am If German is racing, there needs to be a camera there Flotrack! Sloppy footage, but I'm thankful nonetheless. reply
#79	Anonymous Coward March 18 at 8:10pm German Fernandez is the newest form of robot created by NASA. He is the latest government conspiracy to the running world. This is all just photo editing. Okay, maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself after watching this kid... reply
#78	View March 18 at 6:38pm the person screaming for german is probably the most annoying person of al time. keep the camera still and shut up reply
#77	Hmmm March 18 at 5:29pm maybe in a couple years... do you see german getting the world record for the mile (3:43 by hicham el gurroj)? reply
#76	Wow March 18 at 5:17pm that was amazinggg..the yelling int he bacckground was sickk..thought i was there reply

#73	Adam Rybczynski March 18 at 6:18am I don't know if i could go out by myself and PR like that. Thats pretty amazing. reply
#72	kevind March 18 at 2:50am Loads super fast for me. Sounds like your internet connection is the source of the problem. That, or you're using older versions of IE and not Firefox -- could be a number of things. Every video on the entire site is exactly the same format, outside of a few that explicitly say they aren't. reply
#71	Stupid Flotrack March 18 at 1:17am why is it so slowwwww an takes forever to load?? its deff not my computer! reply
#70	Wehrmacht March 18 at 12:41am Funny home video! "He just doesn't care!" Legit reply

#66	Matt March 17 at 1:43pm he had a hurt achilles, but that was during xc season. reply
#65	Matt March 17 at 1:36pm I thought I heard he got hurt..an ankle or something? reply
#64	Poopie March 17 at 12:24pm wow, this works much better with the sound off!! reply
#63	Tony Hernandez March 17 at 11:58am who was taping...colby? reply

#58	Tony Payne March 17 at 8:53am man...that crowd got LOUD when he only had one lap to go. That track is sweet. And what an amazing run...nearly impossible to get German and the rest in the same frame. holy crap! reply
#57	TOP10 March 17 at 8:16am He will deff be top ten at worlds! If not top 5 or the winner!!! GO GERMAN!!! reply
#56	Nick Higgins March 17 at 3:18am I think the camera guy was pretty excited about this race... reply
#55	Anonymous Coward March 17 at 2:17am "give him time"- wasn't he like 23rd last year at worlds? pretty sure he is much better now than he was then. I think he has a legit chance at top 3. reply
#54	TalentlessNuts March 16 at 11:45pm It's "ridiculous," not "rediculous." Jeez, is that so hard?! What do you H.S. kids do in school? Fantasize during English class about German's next race? reply
#53	German Fan March 16 at 11:44pm Gotta love that... No rabbit, no competition close from the very start, not even that big of a crowd, and this freshman(actual) just goes out and breaks the collegiate record by himself. A class of runner we don't get too often over here. reply
#52	Give Him Time March 16 at 11:34pm He's good... nobody doubts that... lets not put too much pressure on him yet... World XC top 20 would be just fine... reply
#51	Anonymous Coward March 16 at 11:23pm How can you say top 20 at worlds. He just re-broke the junior world record in the mile and that's not even his best event reply
#50	Awful March 16 at 11:09pm He's slow. reply
#49	The Lonely Runner March 16 at 10:57pm I saw German Fernandez run a 3:55 mile and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS! reply
#48	Hieu March 16 at 10:57pm omg you're sooooo annoying! stop yelling man reply
#47	German Ok March 16 at 10:57pm man he is awesom!!! just 18 yrs old!! and hispanic proud of him!! take worlds man u can do it reply
#46	Mp March 16 at 10:47pm German needs to go pro! reply
#45	Lets Go March 16 at 9:55pm hot german baby reply
#44	Talent March 16 at 9:42pm He has such fluent turnover. I haven't seen such an effortless stride since maybe Allistar Craig from Ark. Pending on some competitors schedules, this summer's outdoor 5K could be pretty rediculous- NCAAs and/or USAs reply
#43	Haha March 16 at 9:24pm that guy filming was funny as hell with all his screaming but I think got a little too excited about German reply
#42	hikerdonovan March 16 at 9:16pm That was inspiring. He ought to start taking classes on how to deal with the media because this dude is only going to gain in popularity. Can you imagine what it will be like in the 2012 Olympic Trials with him there? Thanks to the crazed fan/teammate who posted this. reply
#41	OREGONIAN March 16 at 9:01pm WORLD CROSS WILL BE A CHALLEGE.. TRY TOP 20 reply

#20	kevind March 16 at 4:33pm I found the race commentary added quite a bit of excitement. Where else do you get teammates that excited for one another? Awesome stuff. "What is he doing?!" reply

#16	kevind March 16 at 4:21pm as the great harry carey would say, 'hoooooly cow' reply
#15	Dave Pritchard March 16 at 3:30pm Smmmmmmmooooooooooooooooook'in!!!!!!!!!! The future has arrived! Brilliant Run!!! reply
#14	Anonymous Coward March 16 at 3:26pm are luke and chris derreck running worlds? they competed this past weekend didnt they? reply
#13	Cody Lemons March 16 at 3:22pm SJS SJS SJS SJS SJS SJS reply
#12	Dan Knewitz March 16 at 3:14pm This guy makes running look way too easy. Every time I see footage of him I feel like I can just walk outside and rattle off a few sub 4s back-to-back. He looks so effortless, and you see these great college runners just not keeping up. There is something very different about him. reply
#11	Ryan Sterner March 16 at 3:12pm people aren't going to forget about pre you . reply
#10	Supportive Fan March 16 at 2:27pm So its not ok to be supportive of the guy while he is racing? We are just lucky that they got the video up to watch.... reply
#9	Anonymous Coward March 16 at 2:24pm people remember pre! Well in like 20 or 15 years there not gunna rember him anymore!! cause german is now the next pre takin it out fast and racing hard!!! a freshman in college how old is he like 17 or 18 lol!!! he is gunna be a great a fantastic runner in the years to come!!!! maybe even grater thn PRE! reply
#8	J.R. March 16 at 2:23pm Fantastic run, wow... Way to run, German! Nice video, but if you're going to video, video, don't shout. Thanks for taking and posting this. reply
#7	Scary March 16 at 2:18pm I just had a scary thought. He's doing this stuff while training for an 8k cross country race. Presumably that would mean that he's not doing mile specific training. I'm scared for outdoor track...very, very scared. reply
#6	Steve L. March 16 at 2:13pm that kid screaming was effing ANNOYING!!! But That Was A sickA$$ race!!! Cant wait to race him this season reply
#5	Correction March 16 at 1:57pm Ryan- hate to be pick but in the description it says "unfortunately we we're able to see German compete this past weekend," I think you mean weren't, right? Crazy run by German though. reply
#4	I Like March 16 at 1:54pm i think the yelling is pretty sweet. made me feel like i was kinda there! sweet video, thanks for that.....pretty motivating reply
#3	Wow March 16 at 1:52pm Great video but would have been WAY better if the guy wouldn't have yelled so I wouldn't have to feel like I'm watching some weird German Fernandez inspired remake of the Blair Witch Project... reply
#2	Anonymous Coward March 16 at 1:41pm Holy shnikies..... reply
#1	Ricardo Balmaseda March 16 at 1:38pm Wait till the last lap... anybody else hear fapping in the background?! Amazing. reply

German 3:55.02 Collegiate Record

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!
