Im 72, watched many races at all levels. Ive seen some impressive records set. It is always very exciting to be able to watch some young athlete give a performace like this. That young lady started that race in high gear and in the last lap she hit overdrive. What a race.
You just liked looking at her💩maker.
😂😂😂😂❤❤💯💯💯💯
She must be in great shape.
Wait till a male races them. Her record isn't going to last long.
Wow!
Very respectful of the young lady around 13:40 who was aware of Leachman coming up behind her and moving over a lane to let her pass.
even checked her blindspot before getting back in the lane 😭
I saw that too. She didn't win the race but that's first class in the human race.
Totally Classy what she did!!!!!
I also noticed that. Very cool.
Very noticeable how many did not too.
That girl was like a machine. Kept consistent the whole race. Congratulations to her. That is awesome.
she lapped most of the field
What an impressive feat.
PED’s perhaps?
Her record is going to be broken by a man, sad.
@@pugilist102 Just say to Title XI Biden BS
Incredible, protect women's sports
yep. A few of us are awake.
@@monkeyb1820 but not woke
I was looking for this comment
Yes. This champion absolutely does not need to have to beat boys to keep winning like some girls who spent most of their lives training.
@@blattimus She could race against me any day
This video was awesome. Her speed was incredible. No overwhelming commentary, no video cuts, replays, etc. It shows what it’s like to be there in a stadium witnessing history, and my god she was moving!
They'll eff up this sport and her record as soon as some MAN decides to pretend he's a woman. No?? Oh, it's happening. STAND YOUR GROUND LADY'S!!!
@@Kidbucked A world where the best women athletes will be former men.......crazy
Wow! She was booking...and She got faster in the last lap!
@@Kidbuckedno she is not a man. Sorry to have to point that out to you.
As a dad with a son and a daughter who both run competitively, this was emotional for me. What heart this young lady showed. How wonderful that the crowds were led to cheer her on. Beautiful to watch. Love from Sydney - Dave
Much love boss and I pray for you and your kids … thanks for the beautiful comment, I resonate my friend
@gopperbenson826 Thank you! You have a big heart and I reciprocate. All the best to you and yours too, David
Love this, so inspiring at 73 and endeavoring to comeback to running and wow this helps Thanks so Much!
@user-jn7rf9vt6l Great to hear and I wish you well in your endeavour. You sound like a young 73 and soon you will have wings on your feet! All the best from Sydney, Dave
and there was probably a dozen or so guys in the stands who could easily outrun her
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. She has it all. The body, the heart, the mind, the focus, the determination, the spirit, and the love of running. This is what true freedom looks like.
Way to go Elizabeth. I just saw this video and I'm sure everyone like me, is proud of you. God knows, your hard work is paying off. Keep going for it, God bless you.
Don't know how it ended up in my feed, but that was tremendous! I couldn't believe what a fast burst she put on right at the end.
Don't know how it ended up in my feed, but that was tremendous! Isn't that exactly what your top horse said to you about three or four weeks ago? 😋
😮 Only on YouthTube Give it a rest
This girl is plays in a different league, is from a different planet... She is wonderful!
Same league. Same planet. Same species.
@@ToxicGamer86454 But wait until the girls with Y chromosomes join the race.
Same league, same sex, totally fair.
That’s insane. My fastest 5k was 17:15, when I was in the Marines. A grown ass man, and she blew my time out of the water!!! Freaking Outstanding
Thank You for Serving!!!!!
Some people are born with it, born with a talent for something. She has not only the god given (genetic) traits, I'm sure she trains hard.
@@user-en9qd5nx8w 100%, it’s a talent that mean fuck all, if you don’t train. This girl has to have dedication that is unrivaled.
Yeah. But you were carrying grenades and stuff . Thank you for your service.
A different story ( in USMC ) when you’re carrying & packin’. I respectfully refer you to your REAL competitive standard, Maj. Emil Zatipek of the Czech Army, who was known to run in the snow, in his army boots just to train.
Wow, from start to finish! Her family must be so very proud!!!
That was truly amazing. That is an outstanding performance for any high school athlete, but for a sophomore to do it is unbelievable. Elizabeth Leachman? I'll remember that name. Very well done. Her running style, while being used for a distance race, looks to me like that of sprinter Michael Johnson.
I wish She wins many Olympics Golds Medals. Awesome running Champion 🏆
WOW, absolutely incredible. 16 people lapped. Amazing 👏
when this video started, it looked like she was sprinting and the rest of the pack was just 'running' but she kept up at that blistering leg speed --AMAZING--My God does she run!
She's what 15? It is early in the season, no competition. Whew! Keep injury free, my girl. You're going places.
Let’s hope she does not go down the distance runners ED path.
@@TheBeingReal I agree!!
@@TheBeingReal what does that mean
@@winkylad498 Eating Disorder
Yup FORWARD! LOL
Over 5 seconds faster than Valby's 2023 NCAA Outdoor 5000m Championship. Super impressive given Leachman ran this COMPLETELY alone from the gun. That's crazy hard. At least Valby had a chase pack always within 3-4 secs to provide motivation for the entire race until the last 800m... when she started to kick. This girl reminds me of Natalie Cook. Has her speed and talent, but Leachman seems to be A LOT more durable and biomechanically more efficient.
You’d think opening with a 1:11 400 meter would be suicidal, but yet she never blew up.
I still think KT had a more efficient stride..but yeah..she's fast as f
The announcer helped push her. Good job.
Valby's run 14:52 indoors (32 seconds faster). Your comparison doesn't accurately reflect their respective current potentials in this event. In the future that may very well change, but it's not fair to either one of these young women to be distorting the reality.
Elizabeth LeachmanThis standing ovation is for youStill Standing
Congratulations Elizabeth Leechman 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇬🇧
At about 3:29 she is running so relaxed, the camera is zoomed in on her, and you can see her smile as she rounds the curve. She is definitely feeling good. It is such a blessing to be able to watch such a talented athlete performing at such a young age. Good things are ahead for her.
I know that feeling exactly, when I'm running a 5k and it just feels so effortless, like I'm floating. It lasts for about the first 50 meters, then it's back to reality.😂
When I used to run it was like full focus mode, I enjoyed the feeling when you are just fully aware your breathing, pace and how your body feels like. It was fun to be also strong in mental games while competing. Mind is nr1.
Incredible Record! Her sustained speed was insane!
Very balanced running style and incredible stamina, the dedication needed to get to that level at such a young age is very impressive. Hope she can stay injury free and have a successful career as an elite athlete.
And, she's a real woman! Congratulations!
Mar 8, 2023 - Only 34 trans athletes have openly competed in U.S. college sports to date. If 34 scares you, you need help.
@@batsonelectronics It is not about fear it's not fair. So what women can't have sports without competing with XMen??? How many FTM Trans compete in mens sports......I'll wait.
@@batsonelectronics it should be 0 male race male female race female what one does to there body is your business fine but when it comes to competition in sports that’s not right it’s not fair and shouldn’t be allowed or start a league of your own there’s nothing to be scared about why haven’t they competed against each other men have a clear advantage size strength and speed
@@batsonelectronics If you think that having our daughters competing with ANY men is OK, then, you are the one with a severe mental derangement! Keep them out of my daughters locker room!
@@jorger5615 read the requirements to compete and the person with the dick has no advantage. They have to be on female hormones for at least 1 year before they can compete. Their body type is female even if their genitals show differently. You are getting mad without knowing any of the facts of the subject.
THAT is a women’s sports record-breaking! Well done. 👏
Wait til those transgender boys join in
Until a guy gets in there.
@@billyhomeyer7414 And yet… dudes will never actually break women’s records-because …they’re dudes. #DontDealinLies
@@JoshPiland hey, that’s rayyyyyycist lol
@@JoshPiland lol they beat it every day. High school boys routinely beat this time.
She's absolutely a distance runner, one of the best ever! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
She's good enough at the 800 to be competing for a Texas 5A State Title next weekend. Think they have decided to just award her the 1600m and 3200m titles already...LOL.
😂"Absolutely", only on splintered YouthTube.
Beautiful ...Thanks for putting this up.
Wow Elizabeth, I’m 69 tomorrow and I was moved after seeing this run to respond. Never done this before but by your amazing performance, grace and sheer determination, I gotta say what you have that is so rare, take care of it and continue to nurture it. It is your ticket as long as you want. Great job!🙌🏼
And… she sprinted to the end. I love to see this level of hard work by our young people.
👍👍👍
She was relentless! I got goosebumps watching this!
I will always appreciate greatness...wow! Congrats!
Excellent and moved gracefully and with heart.
Great run by Beth! Excited to watch her career unfold. And props to the athlete at 13:38 for making way - that's good track etiquette.
13:38 I know! I was super impressed by her courtesy.
Beth???? omg
Indeed - you can see that the other gal was waiting for Elizabeth to get close before moving over. And then she moved back to the inner edge of the track once she passed. Bravo to both of them!
Dear Ms. Leachman. Wow! My first introduction to your work. You are truly gifted. And the craziest part....?? You've got definite room for growth to become even faster 😱! One day at a time and just keep winning the race to enjoy the simplest things about life. Wishing you good health and good spirits.
Wow! What an athlete! That was awesome to watch, thanks for posting.
Yes! Congratulations!
I absolutely have no words to describe this awesome young lady she is a absolute machine! The way she is pumping her arms and shows so much strength is unbelievable at such a young age! I just hope she takes some time off In between seasons to rest! I look forward to seeing her race this season.
very impressive... great job Elizabeth!
BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏 Ms. Leachman . You are an inspiration to Soo many, Godspeed
A phenomenal run by this young woman...and only a sophomore in high school. I gotta remember her next year at the Texas relays and plan to be there. Great job Elizabeth ❤
Runs a National Record with no help!! WOW!!! She will be breaking a lot of National records in her future! 👏👏👏
exactly as it should be. pacers do not belong in athletics in my opinion. A runner should maintain the ability to mentally keep themselves in the game.
@@Jorash_Barison I agree! 👍
As a sophomore 🤯
I like that Elizabeth is running her own race... True competitors know that the real race is between "you" and "time." The other competitors are mere distractions. I hope that Elizabeth is healthy and does not have an ED. Well done!
The only problem with being presumedly genetically different is you wind up time trialing as a big fish in a small pond; when you leap to the big pond you dont really have a lot of experience handling or running with people who are as fast or faster than you in group settings.
@@sharonb537 Exactly. How well will she able to pace with people of her caliber? Imo THAT is what makes someone a "true competitor". This race looked similar to a boy running in a girls field.
true competitors know the real race is to win and time is irrelevant
Not sure I agree. True track races are against competitors. The stop watch is always undefeated. The most well known track event has always been the Olympics and either ancient or modern, the awards go to gold, silver and bronze and are based upon place, not time.
@@scottgriffith407 Spot on. All things being equal time is a nice metric, but things aren't equal. Over time tech changes. The shoes, clothing, track surface have all made huge impacts over the past century. Then even from day to day, the temp, wind, and surface condition play. We will never truly know who is the fastest of all time. The only question we can answer is who was the fastest in a given single race.
What an outstanding display of everything it takes to be a Champion. She will never forget this moment. The terror, the anguish, the pain, the will, the overpowering determination to finish the race. I am privileged to be able to watch this display of dominating every obstacle that She had to defeat. May She continue to show other humans how to succeed.
Congratulations young lady That was very inspiring to watch.
This is unbelievably impressive! If, you followed Katelyn Tuohy's middle school and high school career, this young person and this race look exactly like Katelyn's races! She runs the race alone. Just her against the clock and sets national records! If, she starts her own channel (and she may already have) I will be following her! Just like Katelyn Tuohy, Niko Young, Collin Salmon, Aaron Salmon and Lex and Leo Young. If, you did not see these young athletes run over time ( and still at the collegiate level) you missed greatness!!! You have the opportunity now, it appears, to watch Elizabeth do the same or better! Also, a shoot out to high schooler Aria Pierce, a sprinter, I belive about to enter high school. She does have her own channel.
Hard to run alone against the clock. Brilliant effort Elizabeth.
What an epic, stellar performance. Congrats Elizabeth. You are exceptional 👍🏻🇺🇸
I've never seen anyone lengthen their stride so much without losing pace at the end of a 5000m. Same pace all along the race from A to Z. Great performance !
Faster than Katelyn and she's a sophomore?!?! I would never have believed it if I didn't see it. She runs faster than I did as a senior in HS and I won A LOT of races. This is just amazing!
Didn't think that was possible!
How fast was KTs time??
@@spsniper117015 37
I thoughts the same. My fastest 5k was 15:58:58. Granted that was on hilly terrain, I don’t think I could ever beat her time on a track doing it. That takes a lot of mental toughness. Job well done to this young woman.
What is a sophomore please, I'm from England so not sure, but dayum, what a run. I got breathless watching it.
Like watching Secretariat win the Belmont in 1973
Fitting analogy. She is a racehorse!
will she be in olympics
You beat me by 3 weeks! 😊🏇🐎
Absolutely amazing, she will be a champion in life!!!
WOW, I'm speechless.
She's got a great, effortless stride. So impressive.
You cannot get more inspiring than this! Wow! Protect women's sports.
Take your anti Trans bs and shove it.
Awesome! So happy to see that incredible effort!
That's talent. Can't wait to see what she does.
wow! Amazing time
Absolutely amazing, fun and inspiring! Took the lead in that huge pack and never looked back! Even picking it up and striding out without breaking form! Reminded me of Prefontaine
Phenomenal. Look forward to seeing the next few years.
Wow ! That was impressive !! You could see the stride lengthening once she realised what was on... Superb looking runner... nice mechanics...
Wow, what a beast.
😂 nailed it!
Absolutely amazing
Wow. Absolutely amazing race!
All hail the prodigy. Speechless.
Awesome 5 seconds faster than parker valby there who is now down to 14.52 in college. Leachman is so young and has 6 years to surpass that. I hope she does not overdo it and get injured. To work on her breathing and stamina swimming like Parker is good and high attitude and cross trying on the arc trainer and plenty of rest and injury preventive checkups and strategy training videos and plans and diets plans.
Congratulations. Amazing gutsy run . Bravo 👏
WOW! Incredible run. I’m looking forward to seeing what she accomplishes in the future!
Congrats on the record. Tremendous!
WOW ! This young lady is absolutely amazing, God has indeed blessed her !
Incredible accomplishment! Fluid running motion. Amazing - you go girl!
That was an incredible run!!
There was a time a few decades ago when lapped runners would move out a lane to allow the faster runners through. Sadly that is very rare now. To her credit, one runner did move out, but worldwide that is very much the exception.
It’s irritating. The other runners could move over and help her. It is noticeable that it doesn’t happen often nowadays. Would have been worth a few seconds and reduced the risk of tripping over lapped runners
@@danielboone8748 Yes, and they had exactly the same issues 30 years ago, when they did move over as a matter of course. Also, one runner did move over. I've simply noted the change over the years. Runners also do tend to be aware when they are being caught.
It's the responsibility of the passer to change lanes, not the passee
@@BaseballPlayer0 Not when being lapped. It always was the duty of the person being lapped not to get in the way of the faster runners. It is the same in motorsports. In F1 and other race series that a car being lapped has a duty to get out of the way.
@@TheEulerID You're wrong. The passer has to go around them
Awesome!!! Good for her. Much respect.
I'm so proud of her❤❤❤
That was absolutely awesome. I mean really! 😮❤
Well done.
Absolutely amazing young lady she ran a beautiful race. She will go on to break more records ❤
What an amazing experience watching the pinnacle performance of this athlete. 😊
Looked like 9:59 first mile. He said 10 flat. Simply amazing for someone at 15-16 years of age to run that and still have almost another mile to go.
3200 meters
The first mile was 4:50-something. Incredible.
@@MrTruckerfI’m not watching it again, but I think the first mile was 4.58 and the second mile was 5.02, for a 10.00 2 miles. There was 1800 to go after this.
@@Jimmy911ism When I was in high school over 50 years ago my PR in the mile was 4:49, and I beat a lot of kids. Of course, this was in the small school division; our HS had 120 students 9-12 grade.
You can see she has stronger legs than the rest of the field. They look like the legs of a sprinter.
You GO GIRL!!!!!! that was AMAZING!!!!!!
I cried! Congratulations Elizabeth
Every year I can't believe there is yet another up and coming girl who beats the prior years unbeatable girl records but they just seem to be getting better and better every year. Soon they are going to be faster than the boys!
Um, no.
@@thewalruswasjason101uh yea lol
She could have knocked another 5 seconds off that time if the people being lapped had the courtesy to move out of the lane.
Stunning performance,well done Elizabeth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
What a splendid achievement 👏. So much more to achieve. All the very best E!
Congratulations!!! Hard work, good coaching and MERIT matters. And not letting real BOYS destroy the dreams of real GIRLS and Women is paramount. Fight the insanity.
If I got lapped by a sophomore in high school as a college athlete, I would just quit. Damn, that's embarrassing.
Not if it is a girl this fast.
Amazing! Some athletes simply have it. And EL has it. What an incredible accomplishment. Congratulations, Elizabeth!
That was amazing. What a star.
Outstanding. Congrats from Chile.
Phenomenal performance & achievement. She never let up in pace. Tremendous! 👏👏👏👏👏
Great to watch, well done young lady. Doing your family proud. And your country. 👍
That was awesome to watch.❤
Good job young lady. Congratulations from Canada. Bravo!
Incredible performance. I never knew very much about Elizabeth until today. I haven't been in peak running shape for many years, and I've switched mostly to swimming. But I knew just looking at those girls when they stepped up to start that something special was going to happen. If you are in tune enough with nature you can spot special things when they are about to happen. Like when you know nothing about the horses in a race, but you see that one and for some reason to you it feels more electric than all the other horses, how it walks, the look in its eyes, the intensity it has just standing there at the starting line. She left it all out there on the track. Just an incredible performance and a well-deserved victory.
Such power and grace. An amazing human.
YOU GO GIRL
......just an incredible girl, I'm an athlete and this brought tears to my eyes, a beautiful experience for me, I wish her good health and maybe one day we'll see big things from this lady....
Wow! Congratulations!!
