De Young started by cruising through the 5,000 meters in a track record time of 15:28.80. After securing the win in the final mile, the freshman ran just fast enough for the record, but conserve some energy for the 3,000 meters. Four hours later he ran patiently in the lead pack until the second half of the 3k before dropping in a 33 second lap. That put him clear of the field as he build a six-second margin by the finish, running 8:42.38.
