Imagine this, you're a 17-18 year old high school kid in Washington State looking to grab a scholarship at the University of Washington for running the mile in track. Nobody on your team/district/state can touch you because you run the mile at a 4 minute clip. UW has been your life's dream, you live their campus and the city of Seattle.
Coach offers you to come to campus and take a visit. You know there will be tough competition, but never in your wildest dreams did you think you'd run into this type of bullshit:

Drug tests, drug tests all around because there's no way this is physically possible. I know it's being run indoors in a controlled environment, but that's still absolutely absurd!
Gotta feel bad for my boy Aiden Ryan too being the back end of an absolute freight train of speed. Imagine being the dude who runs 3:59 and your teammates laugh at you for coming in last!
If I was in the race, I'm absolutely doing what ol' boy did at the very beginning of the video. You see the dude that looks like he's in first and peels off after crossing the start/finish line? No way he wasn't on lap 4 or 5 (indoor tracks are half the size of standard tracks) and wasn't telling himself, "this ain't it man, just call it quits."
Just unreal. There's no other way to describe it.
