How is Reed Connor, the NXN Champ not in here for this? He DESTROYED the lead pack in the last 300m with an insane kick from FAR out (he didn't know where the finish line was and went early and held it). One of the guys he outkicked is a 3:49 1500m guy so it was no small feat!
REED CONNOR of The Woodlands, TX should be included! NATIONAL XC CHAMPION!
I'm grateful that you guys do such a good job of bringing the best of our sport. You have got to have a true passion for our sport and for all that you do to bring us up to date by the videos and interviews. Thanks for this year end recap and thanks for the spots of humor along the way. P.S. I enjoy when you give your commentary on things.
Colby Lowe vs Michael Cook at the UIL state championships. Colby's been undefeated for 2 years in Texas, and almost loses that streak in the last 200m of his final race
guys i messed up a little...i forgot one of the most important finishes of the summer. sean o'brien's retirement/farewell race!!! if you haven't seen this, its worth a look
Symmonds jumping out of the back to avoid being trapped was incredible. Wheating did what he did all year. Kick the competition to the curb. In the Trials race, it was just as dramatic as he had already completed a full outdoor collegiate season. To be able to continue his streak into the trials was amazing. I believe, outside of Beijing, he finished the year -- in every single 800 or 1500 he ran -- 1st except for 2nd at NCAA's and 2nd Trials.
I understand what you're saying, but don't hold that against galen. he was put in a situation to be trained by some of the best. its frustrating for some people to see that, but put yourself in his shoes. if you really think about it, wouldn't you take advantage of those resources? as a runner, i think most would
Great choice for #1 but I don't agree with 2. . i liked Jenny B's better. Also, how about Minnesotas Heather Dorinden when she fell in her race and picked herself up for the win!
Many races are won with exciting finishes and fast kicks, but who had the craziest kick in 2008?? Remember, its not only about how fast the kick was, but what was on the line!
will cole new york state meet 400H. crazy kicker

But Ryan you should of put Abdi's finish in the 10k or should I say the next 150 that he ran after he finished.
