#77	Anthony Solis October 8, 2008 at 3:04pm i didn't run at ben brown this was my 5k debut reply
#76	Jt September 14, 2008 at 2:58pm hey ignotants, usain is better than michael johnson... reply
#75	Steve Crnic September 9, 2008 at 7:53pm How's Chris doing at Stanford? reply
#74	Ignotants August 15, 2008 at 2:15pm when are you high schoolers going learn that a middle distance runner is different than a long distance runner. you cant compare a 1600m with a 5k its like saying usain bolt is better than michael johnson! please leave the crap to yourselfs reply
#73	Cory Johnson June 28, 2008 at 8:03pm Most states don't have the 5k. Lucky reply
#72	Anonymous Coward June 27, 2008 at 10:48pm derrik n fernandez r 2 differnt studs! derrik 4 the win!! reply
#71	Kiki June 2, 2008 at 7:47pm what about german fernandez? 4:00.29 in the mile and 8:34 in the 2 mile reply
#70	Re: Staterunner013 May 23, 2008 at 7:51pm Ya, well aren't you like a soph in college? I'll bet money right now that when Chris is a soph in college he'll be destroying your mile times? Besides, a 13:55 converts to about 4:01.x effort, and I know you never ran that in HS. :P. reply
#69	Runnergeek2_x May 23, 2008 at 12:22am I would pay $100 to watch Derrick, Lowe, Fout and Fernandez battle it out at Woodbridge. reply
#68	Staterunner013_x May 22, 2008 at 8:12pm Derrick just got lucky. I could own him in a mile race any day. - AJ reply
#67	Sugar Sweet May 7, 2008 at 1:15pm That is one smooooooooooooooooooth runner. reply
#66	Illinois Runner April 25, 2008 at 7:51pm I'm not sure about his mile potential, he absolutely has a chance to break the national record in the two mile. We're looking at mid 8:30's...he just doubled 8:48/4:14 by himself last weekend... reply
#65	Tpark April 24, 2008 at 10:05pm Absolute beast. 4:30 looked like JOGGING for him. reply
#64	Harry_x April 23, 2008 at 9:50am puskedra cant touch derrick.. he closed in 61 in the 2-mile.. thats just not strong enough. derrick closed in 1:31 for his last 600m of the 5,000. reply
#63	Harry_x April 23, 2008 at 9:49am oh yeah.. definitely 4:05 in the mile...8:38 for 2 miles. reply
#62	Re : Run_x April 22, 2008 at 9:33pm Clearly you dont realize the magnitude of this run. He closed his final 3200 in 8:49. Now I would reckon that that means he could probably "hold his own" in a 3200. He even closed his last 1600 in 4:19. So from looking at his end of the race splits, I cant help but think he's got to be the best distance runner in the country right now, when considering races from 1600 to 5000. reply
#61	Run_x April 22, 2008 at 11:53am We cant say hes the best distance runner in the country. There are runners like Puskedra, Lueng, and Smith in the 3200. Robby andrews in the 1600. All we know is this guy can run a 5k reply
#60	Get Some April 21, 2008 at 3:40pm the boy's a beast reply
#59	Rupp Was, But... April 18, 2008 at 9:26am This was also run midsummer at Huesden which you all saw has pretty high quality 5000s. reply
#58	wtfpillowshirt April 18, 2008 at 9:20am Seriously? I never realized Rupp was so 1337 reply
#57	Stghts April 18, 2008 at 8:22am 13:37 reply
#56	Duggan08 April 17, 2008 at 8:07pm what was rupp's 5k time? reply
#55	A Man April 17, 2008 at 9:32am among boys. reply
#54	Runnerman April 16, 2008 at 10:47pm I dare anyone to say he's not the best high school distance runner in the country right now! reply
#53	Harry_x April 16, 2008 at 10:37am if you put derrick at the mt. sac 5k with all the pros this weekend, you'd see 13:39 reply
#52	Runnergeek2 April 14, 2008 at 9:30pm Ya by the time I noticed he had passed me, he was already 20 meters ahead of me, maybe because he was running 4flat pace!!!!!!!!! reply
#51	Packman_x April 14, 2008 at 8:42pm I love the commentary talking about how they might go 14:30. reply
#50	Stephen Boedicker April 14, 2008 at 8:41pm harry, I highly doubt he will break 13:40, let alone 13:30. This is a monster run but taking the next 15 seconds off won't just magically happen because he has pacers. Looking at the splits this is one of those special days where it just clicks and you feel great at the end (see Koll's 10k last weekend). Having pacers may have slowed him down or he would have been running by himself just like today. reply
#49	Darren Peters April 14, 2008 at 4:36pm Correct, Chris will attend Stanford this fall with a great class: http://www.dyestatcal.com/?pg=dyestatcal2008TrackSignings Good luck and God bless. reply
#48	Harry_x April 14, 2008 at 10:39am 4:19 last mile.. omfg, he will sweep 3200 and 1600 at IHSA.org state track meet reply
#47	Harry_x April 14, 2008 at 10:30am maybe if he got into a fast race, he could go 13:30 that'd be sweet if he could run 13:20 before the trials... maybe thats the plan with that 1:30 600m reply
#46	Harry_x April 14, 2008 at 10:29am haha yes reply
#45	Correction April 14, 2008 at 10:28am more like 8:49.....still sick reply
#44	Sick April 14, 2008 at 10:17am Does anyone find it frightening that he ran his second 3200 in 8:40??? That's outragous! reply
#43	Harry_x April 14, 2008 at 9:54am i'm from the same state.. haha illinois rules reply
#42	Ryan From Flotrack April 14, 2008 at 12:40am SPLITS: 4:32 - 4:31 - 4:22 - :30 reply
#41	Roberto_x April 13, 2008 at 11:17pm just 2 words. No Mames reply
#40	Roberto_x April 13, 2008 at 11:17pm just 2 words. No Mames reply
#39	Stanford2011 April 13, 2008 at 10:52pm and he's going to STANFORD next year! the best school in the world just got so much better. congrats chris you are amazing! can't wait for your Stanford debut next year reply
#38	No One April 13, 2008 at 10:36pm hes talkin about the footlocker and the xc season man reply
#37	Jon April 13, 2008 at 9:42pm the announcer sounded like a complete tool the entire race. "chris derrick led his team to victory." reply
#36	Wow!! April 13, 2008 at 9:31pm dis guy is a monster reply
#35	Yeah April 13, 2008 at 9:28pm he is faster thatn anybody in college right now reply
#34	Yeah April 13, 2008 at 9:28pm he is faster thatn anybody in college right now reply
#33	Adam Ward April 13, 2008 at 9:27pm impressive. most impressive. reply
#32	Holy April 13, 2008 at 9:21pm I just got chills when he opened up on that back stretch.. That was scary reply
#31	Holy April 13, 2008 at 9:21pm I just got chills when he opened up on that back stretch.. That was scary reply
#30	David_x April 13, 2008 at 8:32pm Yeah we couldn't get an interview because Chris kinda disappeared after his race. Only had 1 interviewer for about, so we got what we could. reply
#29	Tim_x April 13, 2008 at 7:52pm that was sick, he had a lot left for that last lap. if he had someone to push him he definitely would have gone faster! reply
#28	Lucas Felten April 13, 2008 at 7:13pm Is there an interview w/ him? B/c there should be reply
#27	Ryan_x April 13, 2008 at 6:51pm but I dont know if that could be true cus NCAA doesnt allow full rides or partial, only yearly now...or maybe that would be next year, thats atleast what I read. reply
#26	Ryan_x April 13, 2008 at 6:50pm hes going to Stanford...someone from his school told me he got a full ride. reply
#25	College Choice April 13, 2008 at 6:46pm has oregon grabbed him yet/ where is he going next year? reply
#24	Myles Udland April 13, 2008 at 6:44pm that was special. this is one of those races that makes me appreciate flotrack more everyday, without this site, 13:55 is just a result, but now everyone can see the greatness inherit in this performance, just amazing. reply
#23	Aergaerg April 13, 2008 at 6:28pm wow. hope he doesn't burn out, cuz 13:55 in high school... thats fast reply
#22	Patrick McCormack April 13, 2008 at 6:20pm Just when I was feeling good about my race... reply
#21	Stratford Spartans April 13, 2008 at 4:55pm goose bumps. great announcer and crowd support. reply
#20	Edit April 13, 2008 at 4:19pm err.. Henderson Distance Classic reply
#19	Zack April 13, 2008 at 4:19pm that's sick. I know Fernandez has a shot at the nat'l 3200 record, so does the guy from Utah. This guy definitely does. I'd like to see them all at a meet together... which could be unlikely. Guys - if you see this, come out to PA for the distance classic! at NON I'm sure someone (most likely Derrick after this performance) will want to go for Rupp's 5k record. It's a stretch, but its glory. reply
#18	Holy F*ck April 13, 2008 at 4:09pm final 3200 in 8:49 reply
#17	Aj Acosta April 13, 2008 at 3:49pm Derrick sucks. Just a lucky race for him, I could beat the #### out of him in a mile. I don't get why you need to delete the comment, it's the truth. reply
#16	Cara Hawkins April 13, 2008 at 3:40pm Holy moly! That was a great race. reply
#15	Geoffrey Schofield April 13, 2008 at 3:33pm 2:05 last 800m reply
#14	Wolf Shirt April 13, 2008 at 3:24pm You're welcome reply
#13	Aj Acosta April 13, 2008 at 3:08pm Derrick sucks. Just a lucky race for him, I could beat the #### out of him in a mile. reply
#12	wtfpillowshirt April 13, 2008 at 2:56pm Holy cow reply
#11	Wow April 13, 2008 at 2:45pm He is clearly the best HS distance runner in the country right now...he would have pushed 8:40 in the 3200. reply
#10	Jd_x April 13, 2008 at 2:20pm amazing this kids has a head and brawn, he's going to be tough if he gets a coach that works well with him. Congrats1! Wow reply
#9	Holys Hit April 13, 2008 at 2:11pm Sickest race I've ever seen reply
