+ See More - See Less -In high school, Chris won the Nike Team Nationals individual crown, leading his team to victory. The following week he finished 2nd at the Foot Locker National Championships. After the season, he received the inaugural Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year Award. During track, Derrick recorded a time of 13:55 for 5,000m at the Arcadia Invitational. It was the fastest 5k in a high school only race in history. Mono soon after that ended his high school career early.
In his first year at Stanford, Chris enjoyed one of the most successful years a true freshman distance runner has in NCAA history. He earned 4 All-American honors in 3 seasons, placing 7th at NCAA's in cross country, 4th and 5th in the indoor 5,000m and 3,000m, and 3rd in the outdoor 5,000m. During the winter he also qualified for the World Junior Cross Country Championships by placing 2nd at the US Junior Championships. At World Junior Cross, Chris finished a stellar 15th. In the spring he broke the American Junior 5,000m record by running 13:29.98.
I also like how Ryan said sh*t, seemingly just to make Derrick feel more comfortable about his own language.
Great interview!
Never realized it before, but he's a handsome lookin' fellow. Now that whole mono thing makes more sense.
Good luck with the rest of your season CD!
“every college kid in the country drops the f bomb. He was just acting like he normally would.”
“That was probably my least favorite interview on this site.
I mean I gotta hand it to the guy for what he did it was absolutely amazing but he could be a little bit more humble with his interview. Cussing was what shocked me. You can get your message across without cussing.”

“The guy ran 13:28, I think he can say whatever he feels like saying.
”
Great smile :)

Upset to hear the bad mouth though, not cool.
Yes Derrick, you can say on the internet.
And what a race that was. Exciting to the finish.
“Awesome Job Derrick! Hey Guys where can we see the 5K race? Can you send me a link please? Thanks!”
dude is good. solid run. I like when people can live up to hype and he has done it multiple times now. All the BIG 3 have.
congrats on the time
