In this new, superbly crafted video, we watch West Virginia High School Senior Jacob Burcham train for a sub-4 mile. If Burcham succeeds in his quest, he joins only a handful of other U.S. teen runners. Running Times correspondent and filmmaker Joel Wolpert follows Burcham as he prepares for his final season of high school track. He ended 2012 with a 4:02.73. His coach says in the video, “West Virginia is not a state with a reputation for fast runners, but speed doesn’t care about stereotypes.”
go jacob burcham! Do it!
also, seems to have heel contact with his left foot, but it’s not a heel strike so it’s fine, still under the center of his gravity
so looking at the end of the season…can’t find anything that he did it..
still must be fun to run that fast
good job jacob! Keep running!
