A video of Nicodemus Naimadu's world-class 10,000 win at Stanford (see previous entry) is available online, along with a short post-race interview.

Now the race took 28 minutes, so you might not want to watch the whole thing. But skip to the last five or six minutes, for sure. Any time someone tried to make a break, Nicodemus was right there. And, with about 150 meters left, he just throws on an incredible kick to leave the favorites battling for second.

Nicodemus' win is even more impressive after you watch his post-race interview, in which he says that he hasn't run the 10K in about two years, and he just thought he'd go out and have fun and see how well he could do. Catch that? This was a fun run for this kid! Six miles! He doesn't even train for this race, as his events are the 3,000 steeplechase and the 5,000. He's just such an incredible athlete.

As an aside, two of the kids Nicodemus beat in that race have signed with Nike and Asics, so don't think there aren't companies out there that don't know about him. Nicodemus is a nursing major at ACU, so could do a lot with that degree. But if he sticks with running, he could make upwards of $100,000 a year.
