	Sean Robbins   December 1, 2008 at 12:10pm Hey everyone, I work at Saucony. I agree the DeMartini photo is the best all around, but the problem is that it wasn't his photo. It was taken from elsewhere on the web, so we gave him honorable mention for finding such a rad piece of work, but we didn't feel right giving him the crown. The rest were neck and neck with votes, and Jeannette came out on top, congrats to her. I hope that explains it a better. reply
	Weak Sauce   November 18, 2008 at 6:44am DeMartini is the most epic picture of the contest. Just give him all the prizes. reply
	Holla 4 A Dolla   November 16, 2008 at 4:22pm wow is this a joke, i agree with like everyone else daniels picture is frickin awesome, the winner isnt even close and that girl with the orange in hair looks artarded reply
	Fgnd   November 16, 2008 at 1:28pm honorable mention is so epic htf did the top one win, its so ty reply
	George Carter   November 15, 2008 at 9:55pm But the other one should have won. reply
	George Carter   November 15, 2008 at 9:54pm At least there were some actually decent pictures up there this week. reply
	Corey Spriggs   November 14, 2008 at 7:37pm This photo contest is bogus! The photo by DeMartini is lightyears ahead of the the winner in my opinion. Anyone from the Flotrack commitee agree there is at least three to five better than that one? Mud is true X. Anyone who has ran in rain, mud, hail or sub zero temperatures knows you gotta get dirty. That girl got a grass stain on her knees, if that. reply
	Kidding Me?   November 14, 2008 at 2:58pm the kid in the mud is far and away the better picture. On a scale, the girl falling is a 1 and the mud is a 10. The girl falling isn't even a good picture to begin with while the mud is epic. reply
	Noway   November 14, 2008 at 1:52pm sorry this is the most ridiculous thing on earth HOW is a picture of a girl falling better than Daniel's??? Daniel, I think you have by far the best picture of EVERY week, not just this one. reply
	4sstar   November 14, 2008 at 7:27am Not that Jeannette's photo wasn't pretty cool, but what the heck..Daniel's photo is awesome and looks way more intense. reply
	Austin Cookson   November 13, 2008 at 10:01pm How did DeMartini's not win? That photo is genius. reply
	Venisa Love   November 13, 2008 at 7:01pm jeanette we won reply
	Who Cares   November 12, 2008 at 11:08pm no, it won because you probably had to pay other people to vote for you. reply
	Xcsoccer   November 12, 2008 at 6:44pm which is the picture that saucony picked? reply
	Dan Lindbloom   November 12, 2008 at 2:31pm and that is why it won right? reply
	Who Cares   November 12, 2008 at 11:47am who cares where the week nine winner is, the picture sucked anyways!! reply
	Dan Lindbloom   November 11, 2008 at 11:38am where is the week nine winner? reply
	Kevin   November 10, 2008 at 8:03pm I think the week two winner is the best! reply
	Anon. Coward   November 4, 2008 at 1:41pm Yeah, its "quality" alright reply
	UALR   November 4, 2008 at 10:34am Now this is a quality picture! Week 9 winner has a BA pic reply
	Jordan Brooks   November 1, 2008 at 10:05am Vote for the best one! reply
	Passionate Runner   October 22, 2008 at 10:07pm These competitions are for fun, don't put down other runners. H.D., you claim that 27 minute 8k runners don't deserve credit, a great base of the fans that visit flotrack aren't national calibur runners. People visit these types of sites to support their friends and peers, not disrespect them. I beg you to go and run a 5 mile race and see what kind of times you can produce. If you can run the 24:45 that you rate as being acceptable, good for you. If you can't, work harder just like all the rest of us are .. and hope that one day you can. reply
	H.D.   October 22, 2008 at 8:57am to "Your Suck"-why would i ever give credit to 27 min 8K guys-you are implying that 27 mins for 8K is fast. News flash.....IT ISN'T. When the Etown top five are all under 24:45ish for 8K, not the ridiculous 7.5K that they sometimes run, then i will begin to give the team some credit. I will also give them credit for winning this unfair contest when they begin to let the flotrack nation decide the winners of this competition rather than only having their entire slow team vote on multiple computers. They took shortcuts to win this competition the last 5 weeks in a row with abysmal pictures-they will get no respect from me. reply
	tmfcmike   October 21, 2008 at 2:47pm NO FRAUDIN. reply
	Kyle Selsor   October 21, 2008 at 11:12am I agree with rigged reply
	Your Suck   October 21, 2008 at 10:38am They are 27 min 8k guys! give them some credit! reply
	Rigged   October 21, 2008 at 10:36am I'll go ahead and say it as anonymous. This contest is a joke, credit your only giving out shoes, but I think it should be based solely on site directors opinions. Though we haven't done this, my college team have came to the conlusion of how easy it would be to just log on to all the campus computer in 15 mins and over the course of a couple days have as many votes as we want. Which Elizabethtown is obviously on top of... Isn't anyone ethical and moral anymore? One week they accumulated 25 votes in 10 minutes towards the end of the contest reply
	Liking Contest   October 21, 2008 at 9:52am Especially liking that it is not drawn out over months....and that you post the previous winners. Week 7 winner photo looks like a real XC runner at the end of a rough course....not the cushy course that was shown in Indiana. (Your coverage was not cushy, but the course was....so I've been told. But maybe XC runners have so many awful courses that one cushy one is OK>) reply
	Skip   October 15, 2008 at 8:13pm what have the prizes been for the last 6 weeks reply
	David Cohen   October 15, 2008 at 9:43am With Pa, Elizabethtown College is cleaning up with athletes winning 4 weeks in row. All you high schoolers out there, I am an alumni and it is a great program coached by Chris Straub.

	PA   October 14, 2008 at 5:33pm PA is cleaning up haha reply
	Paul Gierhart   October 10, 2008 at 12:28pm Rob Thx for the comment...my father (Raymond - RIP) ran XC, I ran XC and now all three of my sons have ran for Newman...the team this year is very special...Girls won conference...Boys made NHS history by winning their 1st Twin City Meet (very competitive loacl triangular meet) and these young gentlemen mad e more NHS history with the school's first perfect score "15"...proud Dad & fan of XC!!! reply

	Evan DeArmitt   October 8, 2008 at 5:01am Thanks Rob, and to everyone who voted. reply
	Rob Brooks   October 7, 2008 at 5:33pm Congratulations Evan reply
	Bryan Spreitzer   October 1, 2008 at 5:35pm the lean at the line was legit reply
	Bryan Spreitzer   October 1, 2008 at 5:35pm no i like the pictures that have some interesting qualities. like the ones with monster hills, muddy courses, retro pics, or even that picture where the water is evaporating off of them. I am just saying those other pics are boring and generic. reply
	Anonymous Coward   September 30, 2008 at 6:40pm You get your friends and family to vote for you, it's really not that complicated. reply
	Anonymous Coward   September 30, 2008 at 6:36pm Bryan are you just annoyed that your pictures aren't winning ? People have different likes and dislikes. Chill out. reply
	Bryan Spreitzer   September 30, 2008 at 3:28pm i am sorry, but the winning pics except for maybe the first one are not worthy of winning. did Matula's pick win because he was wearing a bandana? did the week 2 winner win because he was wearing tights? someone explain why those pics won. reply
	Jeremy Matula   September 30, 2008 at 9:19am thanks to everyone who voted! reply
	Rob Brooks   September 30, 2008 at 6:43am Congratulations to Jeremy ... pic had the most votes in a week so far reply
	Janet Evarts   September 27, 2008 at 3:46pm this is pretty cool! reply
	YOESIDE   September 25, 2008 at 10:39am EAST COAST IS DOMINATING WITH THE PICTURE SUBMISSIONS!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEAST SIDDDDDE! reply
	Daniel Mallampalli   September 23, 2008 at 11:32pm Come on, people! Check out some of the Iowa pictures. We LIVE XC! reply
	Pat   September 23, 2008 at 9:31pm where are those pics? Look up kirby lee photography...they are from his collection reply
	Jordan Brooks   September 23, 2008 at 9:06pm Vote for me! Look how much of a lead i have!! reply
	Where Are Those Pics?   September 23, 2008 at 2:39pm Hey, where can I find those pictures in the video? Two of those are from NTN 2006 and I'd like to see them. Thanks. reply
	Rob Brooks   September 23, 2008 at 12:52pm Good job Eric. reply
	Eric Reichert   September 23, 2008 at 9:33am Thanks for the votes! reply
	Ryder Pierce   September 22, 2008 at 7:37am My teammate frequents this part of the site and he told me the kid with 67 votes had lost close two weeks ina row? reply
	Forrest   September 16, 2008 at 10:03am Thanks for the support guys. This is an awesome contest. reply
	Rob Brooks   September 16, 2008 at 12:08am Congrats to Forrest. Great pic! reply
	wakeforest1   September 12, 2008 at 3:52pm This is so cool reply
	Steven Pauwels   September 12, 2008 at 6:49am A shame only US Flotrackers can participate. European XC is like 3 times more mud. reply
	Shamus Nally   September 9, 2008 at 11:06am sweet, I would just like to thank all of those that voted for my muddy picture. I couldn't have done it without you. I'm truly grateful. reply
	Rob Brooks   September 9, 2008 at 8:46am Program Glitch. Thanks Connor and good luck this week. Congratulations to Shamus! reply
	Connor Sheryak   September 9, 2008 at 6:25am Why does it say that I won for week 1 when I know that I didnt? reply
	Pat Hitchins   September 6, 2008 at 12:34pm winner each week will be picked by #votes*rating should help even out the low rater haters. Good luck, yall reply
	Wwoww   September 6, 2008 at 7:42am yeah... this is the whackest competition ever...punks are just giving everyone 1 stars and giving their own 5 stars..well if these fools didn't realize them contributing to the cycle is karma for receiving 1 stars. duhh reply
	Hey   September 5, 2008 at 8:19pm great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! reply
	Connor Sheryak   September 5, 2008 at 7:28pm I think that this is really cool, but also flawed. People can just give their competition 1 stars. It would work much better if it were a voting for you favorite or something reply
	Bryan Spreitzer   September 5, 2008 at 2:55pm tough crowd reply
	Rob Brooks   September 4, 2008 at 9:27am If you have a problem uploading photos, post a comment on my profile with the Operating System, and browser that you are using and approx time when you tried and I'll check it out reply
	Bryan Spreitzer   September 3, 2008 at 3:23pm my photos wont upload, why? reply
	Sean Kelley   September 3, 2008 at 3:01pm Well it says right in the rules above - You can upload photos from old XC seasons so any photo can be used reply
	Well....   September 3, 2008 at 8:38am how do you know they are from last year? I don't disagree with your idea, but the point is that even if the contest said only photos from this year, or week 1, people could still upload old photos. right? reply
	Cactusyo   September 3, 2008 at 12:27am I would say 66 percent of these images are from last year. Shouldn't they be from this year??? anyone else have thoughts on this reply
	Jake Graham   September 2, 2008 at 9:22pm if you click a photo there will be a set of stars in the top right, click the number you wanna give each photo reply
	Connor Sheryak   September 2, 2008 at 9:04pm how do you vote? reply
	Al Deschamps   September 2, 2008 at 7:26pm Cool contest! I'll be keeping my eye on this for sure. reply
